Portfolio Dojo

It's time to make a portfolio you're proud of.

Well, it’s time for those “what ifs” to stop being hypothetical.


Keep reading and I’ll show you how!

What if you could build a website you feel confident about and want to show the world?


What if you knew EXACTLY what to include on your portfolio site so that it could attract the right employers/clients?


What if that portfolio could help you land new web development / design opportunities?

Your skills mean NOTHING unless you put them into use.

You’ve been teaching yourself how to code. You’ve been acquiring sought-after digital skills. But simply having skills isn’t enough; to get the better opportunities, with better pay, you need to demonstrate what you’re capable of.


After all, what are skills if you don’t put them into use? 


You need projects, you need clients, you need jobs.


What's the best way to bridge the gap between having the skills and landing the gigs? A great personal website.

But... Crafting an amazing portfolio isn’t easy.

If it were easy, you’d already have a site that you were excited to show off.


Instead, you keep putting it off. Or you have something that’s been “in the works” for the past few months…but it isn’t “ready” yet.


Maybe you don’t feel like you have enough to add, and that’s why you’re stalling. Or, plain and simple, you don’t know where to start.

But guess what? I’m here to assure you that you are ready to put your name on the map and build a portfolio site that will amaze recruiters, hiring managers, and clients.

Introducing Portfolio Dojo 

Portfolio Dojo is an online course focused on helping total beginners build a portfolio from start to finish. The course is geared toward those who want to work in tech--but don’t worry, there’s no need to be an expert developer/programmer/designer just yet. I’ll teach you EXACTLY what you need to know so you can make a portfolio that showcases your skills, impresses recruiters and clients, and ultimately gets results! 

What if you knew *exactly* how to get started on your portfolio site AND what to include?

Hi, I'm Laurence Bradford.

I'm the creator of Learn to Code With Me. A Forbes contributor. A former freelancer and development geek.


But I wasn’t walking out of the womb building websites. I am entirely self-taught. 

(I studied HISTORY in college!) Not to mention, during my freshman year I was placed in a remedial computer literacy course (after doing so poorly on a computer literacy test they made us all take before starting).


You may think a transition from history to tech is a big leap. Well, you’re right. It is. But having a strong web presence, with work to show, made it possible to start landing projects with better pay and get contacted by hiring managers plus recruiters. 


A powerful online presence plays a huge role in bringing new opportunities to your door. Since launching Learn to Code With Me and putting work into maintaining an online presence, I’ve been contacted with more offers than I have time to accept!


Simply put, portfolios and personal websites allow you to be discovered. And discovery is an important step on the road to success.
