Why CorkWeb Academy exists
Irish businesses are asking for websites that are fast, accessible, and built with maintainable code. CorkWeb Academy was created to respond to that need with training that mirrors how real projects are delivered. We are a young academy with one year of experience, yet we are focused on quality, clarity, and professional readiness.
Our courses emphasize practical workflows: planning site structure, designing responsive interfaces, building in WordPress, and developing front‑end applications in React. Each module is designed to mirror tasks seen in Irish agencies, in-house teams, and freelance pipelines.
Learning pathway built for real client outcomes
Foundation and front-end essentials
Start with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fundamentals, focusing on semantic structure, accessibility, and mobile-first layouts. You will create responsive multi-page sites that are ready for business use.
WordPress and content systems
Learn how to build WordPress themes, configure core pages, and deliver CMS-based websites that Irish SMEs can update in-house. We cover performance, security basics, and template logic.
React apps and modern UI
Move into React with component-driven design, routing, and state management for small business tools and marketing experiences that need fast, dynamic interfaces.
Portfolio-first project approach
Every module results in a tangible, job-ready output. Projects include a responsive brochure site, a content-rich WordPress build, and a small React application with reusable components.
We focus on documentation, Git-based workflow, and presenting your work in a professional manner so that your portfolio clearly demonstrates your skills to Irish business clients.
