The Web Dev Rebellion

A one-time purchase, ownership-first learning system for people who want to build and launch real websites without getting trapped in hype, complexity, or subscriptions.

You don't rent your skills here.
You own them.

Build client-ready websites worth $1,000+ • Launch your own creations • Build your personal brand

Get Started — $99

Modern web development has drifted away from its roots.

Tools are abstracted. Platforms rent you access. Complexity is marketed as sophistication.

Most people are trapped in a cycle of:

  • Handing autonomy to drag-and-drop builders
  • Paying monthly subscriptions for platforms they don't need
  • Building bloated, slow websites
  • Believing gatekeeper lies that building great websites is only for "real" developers

The Rebellion goes the other way.

This is not a bootcamp.
It's not a SaaS course.
It's not a credential.

It's a return to fundamentals.

We teach people to work directly with files, understand what the browser actually does, use the command line as a tool (not a threat), build fast and simple websites, deploy them on infrastructure they control, and use AI as a lever—not a crutch.

How It Works

The Web Dev Rebellion lives on your computer, in your own filesystem.

This is a return to the roots of web development—working directly with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. No complex frameworks. No abstracted tools. Just the fundamentals that have powered the web since the beginning.

But we're not stuck in the past. You'll learn to use Cursor, the modern code editor (think VS Code, but built for the AI era). Cursor requires a subscription (around $20/month), but here's the difference: you're not paying for course platforms, wrapper services, or memberships that gate your learning. You're paying for a tool that helps you become an actual developer—someone who owns their code, their files, and their digital real estate. Cursor gives you the power of AI assistance right in your editor, helping you write code faster while you stay in control.

Here's how it works: You download the learning system to your computer. It's a collection of files—lessons, examples, projects—that you can open, read, modify, and learn from at your own pace. You work through the material using Cursor, building real websites as you go. Everything lives on your machine. You own it completely.

What You'll Learn

Work directly with files

No abstractions. No magic. Just files, folders, and the web.

Command line as tool

Use the terminal confidently, not fearfully.

>

Build fast, simple sites

Static sites that load instantly and work everywhere.

Deploy on your terms

GitHub Pages and infrastructure you control.

AI as amplification

Use Cursor (modern VS Code with AI) to accelerate your work while staying in control.

What You'll Achieve

For a $99 investment, you'll gain the ability to:

  • Build client-ready websites worth $1,000+ — Learn to create professional, fast-loading websites that clients will pay premium prices for. This skill alone can pay for the course many times over.
  • Launch your own creations — Build and deploy your own digital products, side projects, or business ideas without depending on expensive developers or platforms.
  • Build your personal brand — Create a stunning online presence that represents you authentically. No more being limited by template builders or paying monthly fees to platforms for basic websites. You own the code, you own the site.
  • Earn on your own terms — Whether you want to freelance, build products, or just have the freedom to create what you imagine, you'll have the skills to make it happen.

This isn't just learning—it's investing in a skill that gives you real economic agency. The ability to build websites is one of the most valuable, portable skills you can have in 2026.

What You Get

A self-contained learning system that lives on your computer.

  • The complete learning system — Download it to your computer. It's yours forever. Works offline. No platform dependencies.
  • Monthly live calls — Join monthly group calls where you can ask questions, get real-time guidance, and connect with fellow rebels.
  • 24/7 community access — Get one year of premium tier access to the Living Internet University, a digital community where you can get help, share progress, and learn alongside other builders.
  • Education designed like open-source software — Modular, inspectable, durable, upgradeable by the learner. Teaches web development from the file system up.
  • Guides you from zero to deployed — Go from knowing nothing to launching real websites in weeks, not months.
  • Remains useful forever — This isn't a course you finish and forget. It's a reference system you'll use long after you've built your first site.

The Ethos

Landlord over renter

You own your tools, your code, your knowledge.

Simple beats clever

Static sites, clear files, understandable systems.

Ship fast, iterate fast

Progress comes from movement, not perfection.

Anti-gatekeeping

No mystique, no credential worship.

Anti-hype

Tools change. Fundamentals last.

AI as amplification

You stay in control. AI accelerates execution.
