Master Gatsby is an English-language, pre-recorded course for modern website development. Its core project is building a local pizza shop website called Slick's Slices using Gatsby, React, and related tools. Rather than teaching isolated concepts, the course follows a real-world site development workflow, covering pages, routing, data sources, CMS integration, dynamic pages, order forms, SEO, Serverless Functions, deployment, responsive design, and more.
The course includes 13 modules and 52+ HD videos, totaling around 12 hours. The Starter version includes the first 6 modules / 22 videos, while the Master Package includes all modules. Lessons are delivered as pre-recorded videos that can be streamed online from any device; the Master Package explicitly supports downloading DRM-free files. Each video includes Closed Captioning and Transcripts, and the source code is also published on Github. The course also contains a substantial amount of CSS content, including CSS Variables, Grid, Flexbox, clamp, @supports, responsive design, and more. The CSS videos can be skipped if desired.
The instructor, Wes Bos, is a full-stack developer, speaker, and teacher from Canada, as well as a co-host of the Syntax podcast. The course page mentions that he has created courses such as React For Beginners, Advanced React and GraphQL, ES6 for Everyone, and Learn Node. His paid courses have sold over 55,000 copies, and his free courses have reached more than 300,000 learners. This course is suitable for learners who already have a foundation in JavaScript, especially React developers, WordPress/Drupal developers, students, Agency developers, marketers, designers, and newer developers who want to learn modern website building. Complete beginners may need to study JavaScript first.
Pricing is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. Access does not expire after purchase and includes free updates. The Starter Course is currently priced at $44.50, while the Master Package is currently $69.50. Team licenses for 10-40 seats are currently priced at $200-$800. Both individual tiers mention access to the Master Gatsby Slack Chat Room for asking questions and interacting with other learners, but the main content does not state whether homework review, 1-on-1 coaching, or an official certificate is included.
The strengths are its complete project-based structure, broad technical coverage, transparent curriculum, lifetime access, subtitles/transcripts, and source code, making it suitable for systematically learning hands-on Gatsby development. The drawbacks are that the content is focused on Gatsby, so learners targeting more mainstream options such as Next.js should consider carefully; the course is taught in English, and no certification information is visible. For access from China, the page does not provide information about whether the website, video hosting, or payment methods work reliably in mainland China, so availability is unknown; payment methods are also not disclosed. Alternatives include Gatsby official documentation, Next.js, Nuxt, Eleventy, Hugo, VuePress, VitePress, and related courses or documentation resources.
