Most courses teach the tools. Almost none teach the business.

There’s no shortage of courses that teach you how to build a website.

What’s missing is how to turn that skill into an actual business — how to find clients, price your work, sell your services, and grow beyond one-off projects into steady income.

Most people learn the tools. Almost nobody teaches the business. And even fewer give you real, personal feedback along the way.

Everything you need to actually run it as a business

Digital Agency Owner teaches you how to run a web design business — client acquisition, pricing, positioning, and sales — using just enough technical knowledge to deliver real results, without years of coding first.

Web design is the starting point. Once you’ve got a working business, this is also your entry into offering more digital services down the road, as your agency grows.

This isn’t a pre-recorded course you watch alone. Every step of the way, you submit your work and questions, and get a personal video or audio response back from your instructor — real feedback, on your specific situation, on your own schedule.

This isn’t a “learn to code” course. It’s a “learn to run the business” program, built around you.

Submit questions and assignments whenever you’re ready

Who This Is For

  • You want a new career or income stream, not another hobby project.

  • You’re comfortable learning tech basics but don’t want to become a developer.
  • You want a repeatable system for finding and closing clients — not guesswork.
  • You’d rather work through this at your own pace with personal feedback than sit through group sessions or live calls.
  • You’re ready to invest in doing this properly, not piecing it together from free YouTube videos

Meet Rick DelaRosa, Your Instructor

Rick DelaRosa has spent over 20 years building and running his own web design and digital marketing business. Since 2009, he’s operated independently, working with US-based clients since 2015.

For over a decade, Rick has also run the backend operations for a leading online education institute — managing enrollments, certifications, and website operations for a program that has supported more than 500 students.

He’s coded websites since 2004 and has built his entire career around what it actually takes to run a service business: landing clients, pricing the work, and keeping clients coming back.

Rick built this program around exactly that experience — teaching the business side of web design, not just the technical build, so students learn what actually works, not just theory.
