But that’s not all...

You’ll learn and grow no matter your experience level.

You’ll work with the leaders of charities and small businesses - leading impactful projects.

You can enjoy a flexible time commitment - projects available year-round.

You can choose your cause - from sustainability to human rights.

Our volunteer designers learn from doing.

We've created a custom-built program to teach no-code web development from scratch, without writing a line of code!What makes our training particularly unique is that it goes far beyond web design - you are taught the essentials in brand consulting and interacting with clients by management consultants. So you will exude professionalism, and know how to push the client’s thinking to understand who they want to be as an organisation.

step 1

part-time training

This covers brand consulting, mood boarding, templating, using no-code platforms  and feedback in a sociable and varied environment.

step 2

sandbox project

Test your skills and knowledge by jumping into a mock brief and building your confidence to take on a client project.

step 3

client project

No-one starts a client project until they are comfortable to do so. You can work in pairs or manage a project yourself once you feel confident and we see that you are ready.

Fast progression is one of the most exciting aspects of joining a young start-up like Grw.
