Hi everyone,
I’m Elisabeth, a product manager on the team behind the Bubble app powering Bubble.io.
We’re excited to share two major updates that make it easier than ever to start building: a redesigned Bubble Academy and a new unified hub for Bubble Experts.
If you’re a power user helping others build or learn to build, this is also a great time to sign up for an Agency account so you can be listed in our Experts directory.
Redesigned Bubble Academy
We heard from many of you that finding the right course and understanding what you’d actually learn before committing time to it wasn’t always straightforward. So we’ve completely refreshed the Academy with a design that makes it easier to browse, evaluate, and start learning.
What’s changed:
-
Each course now has its own redesigned landing page. When you’re browsing courses, you’ll immediately see what you’ll learn, how long it takes, and what skill level it’s designed for — all before you click into the first lesson.
-
Once you start a course, you’ll see the full lesson list. No more wondering what’s coming next or how many modules are left. You can see your entire learning path from the beginning, which makes it easier to plan your time and understand how everything fits together.
-
Introducing interactive tutorials that provide a whole new way to learn. Click through these guided lessons to see every step explained, one by one.
-
We’ve also updated the look and feel — including the navigation across the Academy homepage, course pages, and video lessons to make navigation smoother. The goal was to make it feel less like you’re hunting for information and more like you have a clear roadmap in front of you.
This redesign also lays the groundwork for features we’re planning to add soon, like progression tracking and personalized course recommendations based on what you’ve already learned.

Unified Bubble Experts hub
For a while now, we’ve offered different types of expert help — coaches, freelancers, and agencies — but they lived in separate places on the site. If you were looking for someone to teach you Bubble, you’d go to one page. If you needed someone to build your app for you, you’d go somewhere else. It worked, but it wasn’t as clear or cohesive as it could be.
Back in August, we brought everything together under one hub at bubble.io/experts. All professional Bubble services now live under a unified “Bubble Expert” brand, organized into two straightforward categories:
-
Build for you, for freelancers and agencies who build apps for clients
-
Teach you to build, for coaches offering one-on-one sessions to teach users how to build themselves
If you’re a freelancer or agency:
This change means more visibility for your services. Clients can now discover you through the experts hub, and we’re actively driving more traffic there through improved navigation and entry points across Bubble. We’ve also streamlined the hire a developer flow and added clearer distinctions between freelancers and agencies, so the leads you get should be better matched to what you actually offer.
If you’re a coach:
You’re now part of the main experts hub instead of being tucked away on a separate coaching page. This gives you significantly more visibility alongside freelancers and agencies, which means more users can discover your services when they’re exploring the experts hub.
Today, we’re launching more updates to the coaching program to make it easier for users to find the right coach:
-
Full coach profiles: Each coach now has a dedicated profile page (not just a popup modal) that you can link to and share. This makes it much easier to send potential clients directly to your services.
-
Streamlined profile management: We’ve redesigned the profile experience for coaches with a cleaner form that includes all the essentials: bio, skills, languages, booking link, pricing, and availability info. You can preview how your public profile will look before publishing to make sure there’s nothing missing.
-
Session management and tracking: You now have a dedicated space on your home page to manage all of your sessions, and your clients can view their session details directly from their home page as well. Sessions booked through your link are automatically added (if you’ve set up the redirect), and you always have the option to add sessions manually. You can also edit or cancel sessions as needed and access any pre-session notes submitted by your clients.
-
Reviews and rankings: Clients can now rate coaches (1–5 stars) and leave written reviews, helping you build credibility and stand out. This helps users find coaches who are a good fit for their needs and gives top-rated coaches more visibility.
-
Flexible payment options: You’re no longer locked into a specific payment system. Use whatever external payment tools work best for your business.
In addition, we’ve added a new tab on the home page that shows new users a clear call-to-action for hiring all types of expert help: agencies, freelancers, or coaches.
