I can say that Adrian saved my freelance career before I even started. My intention was to offer web design and development services and thanks to a conversation with Adrian I understood that I had to focus on what I was good at: design. After leaving my career in sales, I decided to start freelancing at the same time I joined the club and after months of trying and testing I have now reached the point I wanted and I keep receiving projects to work on. I have closed 4 so far, and I have 7 more projects in discussion. With the revenue from these projects, I have made back my investment by 1.5 times, and from now on it’s all profit. I’ve been with BONT Club for more than six months now and I don’t regret it. In terms of design I have managed to expand my creativity and try new things that have helped me to get projects. From the basics of typography to using grid out of the box. I have also learned to value my work and how to charge for it and how to make a winning strategy to get clients and make a living as a freelancer. Finally I would like to mention the support of the club, great designers that help you to improve and that you can rely on when you need it. I definitely recommend it!

We have been following Adrián’s work for a while and we came across the BONT Club through his YouTube channel. We both agreed that it was something we needed to do to take the next step in improving our web design studio Shiny Octopus. Joining the BONT Club opened up our horizons and gave us access to new knowledge. It allowed us to accurately budget and seek out the ideal client for us. We were able to restructure how we sell ourselves and enhance our service. It also allowed us to delve deeper into the design processes, aiming for excellence in our products.
In less than 4 months, we were able to implement what we learned and close our first deal with a new client at more than double our previous price.
Regarding the classes, the content is of great value, and every Wednesday we have a feedback session with Adrián, who guides us through any doubts we may have.
Signing up was a great decision and an invaluable investment for our studio, Shiny Octopus.

One day I found the BONT channel on YouTube, I was immediately very curious to see that Adrián talked about topics that other influencers/youtubers specialized in design did not touch on. I found it extremely interesting and impressive. In a few days I decided that it was time to make a drastic change in my career and I wanted to make contact with Adrián. It didn’t take me long to realize that he was in good hands and I joined the club. In several months I have learned a lot about web design (even though I already have previous training and experience). I think that even though it can be improved (everything can always be improved), the course offers incalculable value in terms of both design knowledge and business skills. I have to say that not only have I learned, I have also significantly improved my aesthetic taste and my skills. I think the weekly sessions are great, I love being able to meet other people in similar situations to mine and being able to see their work and at the same time be motivated and inspired by them. It’s fantastic to be part of a community like this. One of the first rewards of being part of the BONT club and the hard work I have done during these last 4 months is that I have managed to triple my budget for projects that I had already been carrying out during the last 6 years of my career. And this is just the beginning! In short, the BONT club has managed to open my eyes, offering me ways to significantly improve my work and get paid appropriately. I feel that I have a long road ahead of me, it is not a bed of roses, but I am delighted to be able to face all the challenges that arise and enjoy in the meantime the process of truly becoming a specialist in a discipline that I am passionate about.

Sold a project for $15K ($8K higher than he would’ve sold it on his own), in the first 5 months.

The BONT Club has gave me the confidence both as a designer as well as a business owner, to charge higher rates. Five months after joining the program, I closed my first project at USD$15K (just Web Design & Branding), when I would’ve probably charged USD$7K if I had taken it on my own. Adrian shares industry standards, negotiation tips, and helps you uncover the value of your work in this industry in a way that gave me the confidence to go for much higher numbers. Now looking back, maybe I was even a bit on the low end and I could charge more too, but it was great profit because I completed it in 3-4 weeks.
On the design side, I can’t tell you how many times the course gave me new ideas or a way to push my designs, both with the pre-recorded lessons as well as the live critiques. Being part of the BONT Club is a constant reminder to fight for the ideas we believe are good and not be complacent with lowering our standards, but rather push the boundaries of each project to its highest potential.
If you are a decent Web Designer and you want to get to an advanced level, you need someone a lot more advanced than you to guide you, and that’s one of the things I’ve found most valuable from this program.

In a matter of 4 months I started to secure higher-paying clients, landing projects worth $2,600, $3,300, and even an ongoing project worth $7,000.

The Bont Club, a Michelin 3-star equivalent in the Web Design world, transformed me. As a web designer, I was working my tail off, designing 200+ page sites and still struggling to make ends meet. My pricing was all over the place, and I wasn’t attracting the right clients. Joining the BONT Club changed everything. The business knowledge and pricing structures Adrian teaches are pure gold. In a matter of 4 months I started to secure higher-paying clients, landing projects worth $2,600, $3,300, and even an ongoing project worth $7,000, with the potential to hit $10,000! The BONT Club isn’t just a course; it’s a supportive community that’s helped me level up my career. If you’re a web designer feeling stuck or underpaid, this is your ticket to success.

I first heard of Bont on YouTube following Adrian’s interviews and video content. It was refreshing content from someone who had a ton of experience in the industry and who worked on inspiring design projects, so I immediately connected with the content. When I decided to enter the Club, I was looking for an online community that could challenge me to become a better web designer as I wanted to jump full time from Product Design. Bont gave me the community, the support and an actual playbook to make it as a freelancer. The first project I signed after a few months in the club was double the budget from the last project sold. The Blueprint gave me the tools, and the confidence to talk about web design and actually deliver professional work that gets paid. I’d say it was a no brainer investment from me!

Adrian is a mentor who trains others to become mentors, not just students. His course is a real masterclass, ideal for ambitious Web Designers who want to lead and advance to the next level. By following his design process, I was finally able to systematically find new fresh ideas in a way that can be easily replicated. This alone is gold to me. After attending various design courses, I can say that the BONT® Club is unparalleled in its level of detail in explaining both the visual and psychological aspects of Web Design. The course gives students an in-depth knowledge of the design industry. There are so many great tips and tricks in the soft-skills chapter, I feel like I’m getting so much for the money I spent. Cannot recommend enough!

Adrian and the Bont Club have completely revolutionized my approach to web design, especially my sales process. I used to focus on demonstrating my skill set and past work, but Adrian showed me the power of putting my clients and the business value of a website first.
By spending 80% of my time talking about their needs and vision, I’ve transformed from just another designer to a valued strategic partner. This shift has had a profound impact on my sales process and overall workflow, making it so much easier and more effective for both parties.
Joining the Bont Club has easily been the best decision for my freelance career!

After years of scouring all online course platforms and YouTube, I can safely say that the BONT Club is just the best, most thorough, Web Design course I’ve ever encountered.
Adrián is not only the sweetest guy, he is also extremely knowledgeable and goes out of his way to share and help with every single thing his long years of experience have taught him, doing everything he can to guarantee he has helped and that you fully understand every concept.
My skill level and overall perspective of the industry (plus my ability to deal with new challenges that came along during the course) have grown at a really rapid pace in a rather short period of time and, for that, I am extremely grateful. To be honest, this course is a tremendous value (I would say a steal hehe). The investment is basically negligible if you consider the impact this will most likely have on your development as a digital designer.
To top it all off, I feel like I’ve made some really nice friends in the process, and we now get to hang out every week, share our experiences and help each other out as we go and navigate our own challenges, which is just super cool!

As a Creative Lead and a professional Graphic Designer for almost two decades, it’s important for me to stay sharp, to always level up and look for new perspectives, current standards and up-to-date knowledge.
And from design thinking to implementation, this Master Class delivered. Each topic was handled with consideration in a very palatable manner and it was easy to understand each point and see the benefit in applying it to my own processes.
This class did more than keep me au courant in Digital Design, it opened me up to a higher level in my approach to Digital Design as well as creative leadership. My money wasn’t well spent here, it was well invested.

Over the years, sometimes being the solo designer in a team, I was always curious about other designers’ processes. However, since joining the BONT club, I am grateful for the diverse community of designers I have found. Being a part of this group has helped me build relationships with other designers and improve my collaboration, design, and business skills.
