So how exactly does this work? I noticed that you indicated one can "start for free", does that mean that users will pay for advanced lessons? How much would that cost? Do you have an outline of the syllabus and the time commitment necessary to cover the curriculum? I am about a month or so away from starting my journey to becoming a front-end entry-level web developer and was instantly intrigued by this. Would love to hear back from you (on this and other matters).
A pricing page used to be present on the site, but no one would ever get to see the content because the price deterred users away.
The pricing page is still available, just not in the navigation. The first section of content is available for free, then after that, a free 7 day trial is available, followed by pricing of $29 a month.
The curriculum is meant for someone with very basic or no programming knowledge to go from their current level of understanding to knowing how to build complete web applications with ASP.Net, various JavaScript libraries, various database types, and realtime data, while also learning how to articulate knowledge in interviews, write resumes to match job postings, and determine what the needs of the business are. They aren't hiring developers for the heck of it - they want to solve a problem. It's your job to find the problem and help them solve it. If you can illustrate this fact in your interview and have the skills to back it up, you will be offered a job.
That should probably tell you something. If something is out of my price range that's fine, but I know to know it right off the bat. If I have some level of interest in a service and I am willing to pay $100/mo for it, I will check the pricing page to see if they have 2-figure monthly plans or if they start at $250/mo.
If you hide the price I am going to assume it's enterprise pricing either in that it's a large investment, or that you just want to talk to me first to try to charge as much as possible.
