This isn’t a course about prompts or AI tricks.

It’s a course about how I actually run my WordPress agency, with AI woven into the way I think, plan, build, and deliver. I’ll walk you through the full lifecycle: positioning, sales, scoping, building, content, delivery, and the long game.

Every module is grounded in real work I’ve done with real clients.

AI is a partner, not a replacement. This course is about learning where it fits, and where it doesn’t.

What people are saying

From the people taking it.

I didn't even know I had a speed problem

I didn't even realize I had a workflow problem and a speed problem until I started watching Mark's content. That's what pushed me to take the course. Before, it took me forever to develop a website and put together proposals. Now it's so much easier. I used the course structure with a new client and it was beautiful and fast. I'm getting a ton of ideas and all the content has been incredibly helpful. I just wish he could put everything into a course so I can follow along from A to Z.

The practical impact on my workflow has been massive.

Mark's course has been an absolute game-changer. I was hesitant about the rapid changes in our industry, but this course has completely shifted my perspective. It's taught me how to embrace AI as a vital, everyday assistant rather than something to fear. The practical impact on my workflow has been massive. I’ve completely streamlined my operations, allowing me to take on more client projects in half the time, without sacrificing quality. Mark provides an incredibly solid, modern framework for planning and building client sites in 2026. The course has also given me the strategies I needed to manage client expectations and eliminate scope creep. If you want to future-proof your agency or freelance business and scale efficiently, I cannot recommend this course enough.
