What People Are Saying About Rick

"Such a great class to learn how to showcase your work. I’m excited to publish my work online."

"Rick is terrific, I really like his pace and how clear his explanations were."

"As a novice for websites, I needed help with everything and Rick made it so easy."

"Rick is very personable and so willing to answer people’s questions. I really enjoyed this class!"

“Just wanted to share how much I appreciated Rick and his class. Not only did I enjoy the class, he went out of his way after the class to help me with a problem I was having and we ended up doing a brief zoom session so he could show me what I needed.  It may have been a small thing from his end, but for me, it was a big thing! You are lucky to have him as part of your team."

“Rick is a great instructor and is easy to follow along. He made the chore of creating a website an enjoyable project for me and I’m excited as I continue adding my photos to it.”
