ZORALI for Students | Learn Web Design Free

Build real websites on a free plan, portfolio, projects, and skills included.

Learn by building, not by watching

Tutorials only go so far, real skill comes from shipping. ZORALI's free Starter plan lets students create, customize, save, and preview complete websites without paying anything. You learn layout, typography, color, and user experience by actually designing pages on a freeform canvas, the same way professionals iterate.

  • Starter plan is free: build unlimited practice sites at zero cost
  • Freeform canvas teaches real design thinking, placement, hierarchy, spacing
  • 38+ elements to experiment with: forms, galleries, animations, popups, and more
  • Academy lessons and guides walk you from first canvas to finished page

A portfolio that gets you hired

A GitHub profile impresses engineers; a live portfolio impresses everyone else. Students use ZORALI to build portfolios showcasing class projects, freelance work, and personal experiments, with galleries, slideshows, and case-study layouts. When you publish on Pro at $19/month with a custom domain, you look like a professional before you graduate.

  • Portfolio templates designed to showcase creative and technical work
  • Galleries and slideshows for visual projects; case-study layouts for process work
  • About and contact pages with forms so opportunities can reach you
  • Custom domain support makes yourname.com your professional home

Side projects and club sites

Student organizations always need websites: the robotics club, the design society, the hackathon team, the campus publication. ZORALI is how those sites get built without a budget, free to create, with multi-site hosting keeping every club project under one account. It is also a legitimate line on a resume: shipped a real site for a real organization.

  • Club and organization sites built free on the Starter plan
  • Event pages with countdown timers for hackathons, showcases, and signups
  • Forms for member signups, applications, and feedback
  • Real shipped work for your resume, with a URL to prove it

Freelance while you study

The skills transfer directly to paid work. Students who learn ZORALI take on freelance gigs building sites for local businesses, campus startups, and family friends, no coding required. And the Marketplace offers another path: design templates once, sell them repeatedly, and keep 93.5% of every sale.

  • Offer web design services with zero tooling cost to start
  • Local businesses and campus startups are ideal first clients
  • Sell templates on the Marketplace: design once, earn repeatedly
  • The 93.5% creator split means your work pays you, not the platform

Graduate with an unfair advantage

Most graduates leave with theory; you can leave with a portfolio of shipped sites, freelance clients, and maybe template revenue. Employers and clients care about proof, and ZORALI gives you URLs to point at. Start free, publish when a project deserves it, and let the work compound through your degree.

  • Shipped sites beat certificates in interviews and client pitches
  • Preview everything free, pay only to publish, at $19/month Pro
  • AI Studio helps you prototype ideas fast for class and hackathons
  • The BUILD → CUSTOMIZE → MANAGE → MARKET → PUBLISH flow mirrors real project workflows
