Thanks for your questions, iamjeff, A pricing page used to be present on the site, but no one would ever get to see the content because the price deterred users away. The pricing page is still available, just not in the navigation. The first section of content is available for free, then after that, a free 7 day trial is available, followed by pricing of $29 a month. https://heymentor.co/plans https://heymentor.co/plans The curriculum is meant for someone with very basic or no programming knowledge to go from their current level of understanding to knowing how to build complete web applications with ASP.Net, various JavaScript libraries, various database types, and realtime data, while also learning how to articulate knowledge in interviews, write resumes to match job postings, and determine what the needs of the business are. They aren't hiring developers for the heck of it - they want to solve a problem. It's your job to find the problem and help them solve it. If you can illustrate this fact in your interview and have the skills to back it up, you will be offered a job.

Really sorry that I replied about 17 hours too late, had a load of work to complete and find myself constantly falling behind my intended schedules. But I am genuinely intrigued by your service. Also noticed that you opted to start the client-student off with ASP.Net; I wonder if this is because the market signals that it needs developers fairly skilled in the language or perhaps because ASP.net developers have higher salaries...or maybe because your presently available mentors are ASP.net devs. I wouldn't know the difference and strengths between any two computer programming languages even if my life depended on it, but had always felt that Ruby/Python was the way to go for the newbie programmer. In any case, if the service will be around after the next 20-30 days (got work to deliver and deadlines to meet), I will definitely give it a try and see how things work out for me.

> A pricing page used to be present on the site, but no one would ever get to see the content because the price deterred users away. That should probably tell you something. If something is out of my price range that's fine, but I know to know it right off the bat. If I have some level of interest in a service and I am willing to pay $100/mo for it, I will check the pricing page to see if they have 2-figure monthly plans or if they start at $250/mo. If you hide the price I am going to assume it's enterprise pricing either in that it's a large investment, or that you just want to talk to me first to try to charge as much as possible.

  I'm still trying to validate the idea, and attempting to remove friction. It's not meant to be deceptive
