Learn how to make beautiful websites, coded by you.
Everything you need to create well-designed digital projects that you have full control over. No templates and no dull lessons.
Our online courses
Foundation HTML, CSS + Javascript
8-week course
Are you brand new to coding or just getting started? Our Foundation course gives you a deep dive into the world of web design and development. Learn the basics of HTML, CSS and Javascript and be able to confidently make your own websites from scratch.
WordPress
8-week course
Our WordPress course is designed to get beginners making their own content-driven sites from scratch, such as blogs, e-commerce, and more. Learn how to take designs and turn them into custom themes and hand over a dynamic, updateable site to others.
Advanced CSS + Javascript
4-week course
For those that have a solid understanding of the basics and want to take their sites to the next level. Bring your sites to life with fancy animations, smooth transitions and fun effects. Delve deeper into front-end Web Development using up-to-date Javascript, Ajax and APIs.
Ruby on Rails
8-week course
What do Airbnb, Soundcloud and Urban Dictionary have in common? They're all built on Rails! Dive into back-end code and learn how to use Git, the command line, and build interactive web apps — sites that take payments, have user accounts, and editable posts — from scratch.
React.js
4-week course
React.js is one of the most popular Javascript libraries in the tech industry today. Learn how to efficiently build UIs with components, and why this framework is an indispensable tool for coders. This is a great next step for students who have taken our Advanced CSS + JS course.
Javascript for Designers
Self-paced short course
Despite being used on pretty much every website on the internet, Javascript is actually one of the tougher languages to learn. In this short course, we specifically talk about Javascript targeted towards what a creative professional would use it for – functional and fun, interactive websites.
Intro to User Experience Design
Self-paced short course
Take a dive into the world of user-centered design with our short course. Get hands on with an iterative UX design process including research, wireframing, prototyping, design and user testing. Think like a UX designer, and confidently create your own projects and case studies.
Command Line for Creatives
Self-paced short course
An important part of being a digital creative is mastering the command line. In this course, we cover how to use Git, Sass, PostCSS, NPM, Gulp and Webpack – cutting edge tools needed in today's digital design – alongside how to use services like GitHub, Netlify + Siteleaf to make your life easier.
Ajax + APIs
Self-paced short course
Pulling and pushing data from other sites can be particularly useful and speed up a lot of coding. Using Ajax, we talk about how to get and send data on web pages using other sites' APIs, plus how to do web scraping and how to make a site that lets you sign up with other services.
Experimental Javascript
Self-paced short course
For the more creative coder, tools like Three.js, Matter.js and PIXI.js are large parts of their toolsets. We take a dive into the world of artistic and creative Javascript, how to work with HTML canvases, and making interactive, 3D-enabled websites.
Foundation HTML, CSS + Javascript
8-week course
Are you brand new to coding or just getting started? Our Foundation course gives you a deep dive into the world of web design and development. Learn the basics of HTML, CSS and Javascript and be able to confidently make your own websites from scratch.

How we're different
Creativity first
Our courses are tailored for those who work, or want to work, in the creative industries. You don't need to be a designer, just someone who enjoys making things. No wannabe tech bros.
Practical teaching
No computer science lectures here. We believe in learning by doing. We teach you how to create projects you'll actually want to make, from scratch, and then get them online.
Our community
You don't have to learn on your own. You're always welcome to join a talented, diverse and supportive community of SuperHi students from 45+ countries worldwide.
Lifetime access
We know people get busy, so all courses have lifetime access. They never expire, so you can take as long as you need and revisit them whenever you want. No stress.
Get started with our free First Steps to Coding guide
Curious about learning to code but unsure where to start? Get an email every morning for 7 days about how to get started. It's completely free too!
Sites our students make
The proof is in the pudding. Our students go on to make their own beautiful sites and some of their stunning work has won digital design awards.
What our lovely students say…
And also, @superhi_ deserves another shoutout because they more importantly taught me how to code and in a way that is design aware. I did NOT expect to be design/deving a site for an AR startup 8 months after my first html tag and before I even had a portfolio

Questions we get asked a lot…
Are these courses for me?
What's the difference between taking a course and the book?
My schedule can get busy. Do I have to finish the course in the exact time?
Do you offer student discounts?
I have the book and want to do a course. Will you refund the book cost?
I’ve never even looked at code before… will I be able to do it?
How much time will I have to commit each week?
Can I see the course syllabus and examples of the projects I'll be making?
What if my co-workers and I want to join a course together?
I know I'm gonna get stuck at some point. What do I do if I get stuck?
We kept being asked to recommend a book for learning to code and most of them sucked.
So we wrote one that didn't suck! Learn to Code Now is a 440-page guide for beginners that want to learn how to make websites. Each copy of the book comes with the SuperHi Editor, an AI-powered code editor made for beginner coders.
You can buy it as a digital copy or get a printed version with free worldwide shipping.
Our students work at…
Curious about how we teach?
We publish free video tutorials every week, explaining the best techniques in digital design.
Beginner
Intermediate
Why we teach online…
After teaching at General Assembly, I started a code school in London called Steer. We held 5-day courses where students would turn up to our classroom on a Monday morning and leave on a Friday evening. I would stand in front of the class teaching the same material, week in week out, and over time, I noticed so many of the tiny issues of running a classroom-based school.
It was strange that we were teaching digital skills but not using any of the innovations that the same technology gives us. When I left Steer to start SuperHi, I wanted to take the best parts of an in-person classroom and use the internet to make the experience even better.
SuperHi is a more affordable, accessible way to learn. You're not paying thousands of dollars extra because we rented a classroom in a prime city location. We teach you wherever you are — our students are in 46 countries and 15 time zones!
We call it ‘asynchronous learning’. You don’t need to be there at a certain time. Whether you’re a quicker or slower learner, learning is at your pace, not ours. You can ask any question without feeling embarrassed in front of a group, and there’s no need to quit your job to skill up.
Just like our students, the SuperHi team is distributed globally which means we hire the best teachers in the world. You’re not being taught by some guy who happens to be available to stand in front of a class at that time in your city.
Learning anything creative shouldn’t feel like you’re in a military bootcamp. We get much stronger outcomes than whenever I taught in a classroom previously, and our results speak for themselves. Our students have gone on to change careers, increase salaries, go freelance and receive top awards for digital design.
Learn the SuperHi way.

SuperHi founder + CEO
