Doju vs Flux Academy
The short answer: Flux Academy is the better choice if you're a web designer who wants to build design and tool skills like Webflow, Framer and AI, with business training alongside. Doju is the better choice if your work is already good and the problem is getting consistent, better-paying clients. Plenty of designers would benefit from both at different stages.

Frequently asked questions
Is Flux Academy good for getting clients?
Flux includes a freelancing course and mentoring in its top tier. Its core is design and tool skills. If getting clients is your main problem, a programme built around it, like Doju, goes deeper.
Can I do both?
Yes. Many designers build their skills first, then focus on getting clients once the work is strong.
