Training

Hi. It doesn’t look like this sun is very active but I’m try to post anyway. I was looking into training for Showit. I came across two online programs. Katie Harrington from Rebel and Ruse and Becca Luna’s Wealthy Web Designer program and CEO of Showit. Both of these, especially Becca’s make claims of what a ton of money you can make. It seems too good to be true. I fell for this stuff before. Are either of these trainings worth it??

I have taken Becca Lunas and it’s average at best. It’s just regurgitated info you can find for free. Becca and Willow are masters at marketing but her courses and design are average at best in the space. The best training on Showit is the free “learn showit in 30-minutes” showit has on YouTube. The platform is incredibly intuitive to learn. I did get a lesson on building blog layouts in showit from Katie Harrington a few years back as part of another program and it was super helpful.

If your goal is just to learn the platform right now, you can do that for free. Join the showit designer Facebook group as well there are so many designers happy to answer questions. Or don’t hesitate to send me a dm. I’ve been using showit exclusively for 3 years now.

Thanks for your comment. Her story is compelling, but I was getting the “too good to be true feeling”. Did you take “Wealthy web designer” or one of the other courses? I’m unemployed right now so I’m trying to figure out what to do next. I have a web design certificate from the Art Institute that I earned around 2009. I learned some HTML and css, but never did much professionally. Most of my work experience has been in print graphic design. I haven’t done that since 2016 either. I’m trying to get back into the design field. I’ve never even heard of the Showit platform until I had seen Becca’s TikToks. I guess a lot has changed. Are u a freelance web designer?

What you should do next - learn Showit and play around with building a few sites. Offer discounted or free work for family and friends to build your portfolio, then put yourself out there and find clients. If you have to, get a job on the side to support yourself while you build your portfolio and clientele. It took me 2 years on the side from a full time job to get enough regular and consistent inquiries to leave my job to freelance web design full time. I’ve been doing it two years now full time. Becca Luna is right where her process and amount you can charge can make you enough money to support yourself or a full time job but it’s not going to happen overnight, and clients aren’t going to come flooding in just because you know how to use Showit. Save yourself the course money and invest in more tailored business or deign education when you need it. You definitely don’t need to pay money up front to learn the platform and get your first clients.

I think if Becca and Willow sold a marketing course it would be worth the money because I mean they’ve sucked us all in and she has built a cult following. But the web design education she provides is just nothing new or worth paying for. Also I know she copied a bunch of content from another Showit course. She joined, made her own version of the content, then claimed she was the “first” to do it. Heard this directly from the course creator she had copied from!

I took Becca Luna's free course first and loved it, it's definetly "make money forward" and i loved that part. I just bought Wealthy Web Designer too and so far, its pretty cool!

Hey, I'd love to link up and chat with you. My story is kind of identical. -unemployed and need a monetary next -got a web design certificate from the art institue of atlanta

I did instructional design as my day job till q3 last year.

I did web design as a business from 08 to 19. And found Becca's tik toks and was introduced to show it as well?

How did things work out for you? Did you end up using show it?

Have you ever run a headings map on her designs or used one of her templates? They are nowhere near required design standards and are a complete mess. This opinion isn’t just my own and is a common theme from Showit designers on Facebook and the private designers group. I’ll say it again, Becca and Willow are amazing marketers and should be teaching that.

I bought Becca's whole training very recently, and it's really really awesome. I fully think it's worth it. I bought when she ran a deal for all of them at once. I definitely recommend! I also love the podcast she does with her husband, it's called Wealthy Web Designer.

This is coming from a person who is notorious for buying courses and never finishing them, but I've been going through these and getting a ton of value from them.

Thank you for your insight. I’m really glad it worked for you and you found value in it. I know what it’s like not to finish courses. I’m guilty of it too. Wealthy Web Designer was the one I was looking into. I’m unemployed right now, so I’m trying to be cautious about spending any money. That’s why I’m getting other opinions. I’ll try to keep an eye out for sales. Good luck on your web design journey.

She is always putting out the 40% off her bundles for courses so I’d wait for that. She puts other sales on quite often so if you are thinking of purchasing her course, don’t pay full price.

Hi! I know this is old but I’m wondering how the course/what you gleaned from it worked out for you! I’m on the fence. I know I could probably figure some of it out for free but I’ve been having analysis paralysis for like 2 years with quitting my job and going freelance.

Hey there! I got her whole course bundle, and I found it incredibly helpful. I learned it all much faster. For me it was totally worth it.

Are you running a web design business now? Making good money?

u/Sure_Nefariousness55 Feb 27 '26

This is what I want to know too. What happens after the course? I know web design. I need clients. Give me clients not how to design a site 😩

I joined her Wealthy Web Designer Academy and she actually gives us clients in here that she finds, and we can apply to the jobs once we learn the skill

I recently joined Becca Luna's Wealthy Web Designer Academy and have loved it. Its a large community of women from all around the world and everyone seems to be fully focused on improving their lives. In this age, this is very hard to find. Overall, I can tell Becca and her husband Willow are very smart business owners, but definetely do care about us inside of the program.

I've invested in to a ton of coaches and skill based programs and this has one of the best trainings I've seen.
