Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

Hello! I’m Matt Studdert, and I’m the founder of Frontend Mentor. We are an online learning community that helps people improve their front-end coding skills by building projects. Instead of providing learning tutorials, we provide professionally designed challenges to help our community gain real-life experience building websites and web apps.

We use a freemium business model. People can choose to take our free challenges, which are typically smaller, slightly less detailed, and come with JPG images of the designs. Or they can choose to subscribe to our PRO membership which gives them access to our premium challenges and the design files for our free challenges, along with a few extra paid features on the platform.

People who subscribe to PRO are often either looking to become a professional front-end developer or are already looking to build more complex projects to improve their skills faster.

Today, we have over 200,000 members on the platform and grow at over 16,000 new members per month. Of those 200,000+ members, we have 1,500+ paid subscribers generating over $15,000 MRR.
