Got Questions? We Have Answers.
Q: Do I need any prior programming or coding background?
Absolutely not. This course is specifically engineered for non-technical founders, product managers, and business operators. We utilize modern visual AI generative tooling (v0.dev, Cursor, Figma) that translates plain English prompts into production software.
Q: Who owns the intellectual property (IP) of what I build?
You own 100% of all intellectual property, source code, database architectures, and design files created during the sprint. Webcross Academy claims zero ownership over your product concept.
Q: Will the prototype work on mobile phones and tablets?
Yes. All frontend components generated during the workshop utilize Tailwind CSS and responsive flexbox/grid architectures, ensuring pixel-perfect layout across iPhone, Android, tablets, and desktop displays.
Q: Is there post-workshop support after the sprint concludes?
Yes. Every enrolled founder receives 30 days of direct asynchronous mentor access via our founder community channel, along with lifetime access to all course updates, templates, and video walkthroughs in the interactive player.
