Build an E-Learning Platform in 21 Days
Video courses, quizzes, progress tracking, and Stripe payments — your Teachable, but yours.
Why E-Learning / Online Course Platform development is hard to get right
Teachable and Thinkific charge 5–10% transaction fees that compound painfully at scale
Custom learning paths, cohort-based courses, and live sessions are impossible on standard platforms
White-labeling your brand requires custom development — you can't fully brand Teachable
Student progress tracking and completion certificates require custom database logic

Frequently asked questions
Why build vs use Teachable/Thinkific?
At $100K course revenue, Teachable Pro takes ~$10K in fees. Our build costs $3,460–$8,000 one-time. ROI is positive within 6 months for any course creator doing over $2K/month. You also own the student data and can build any feature.
Can you build cohort-based courses with live sessions?
Yes — cohort enrollment windows, scheduled content release (drip), and Zoom/Luma integration for live sessions are all within scope. Cohort-based requires slightly more architecture than self-paced.
