The Problem
Your Course Lives in Four Tools and One Spreadsheet
Most schools and course creators add tools one term at a time. A video host, a quiz tool, a payment link, and a class list each work alone, and students feel every gap between them.
01 · Scattered tools
Lessons, quizzes, and payments live in four separate tools.
Lessons, quizzes, payments, and progress move onto one platform with one login.
02 · Manual logins
Each new student waits for a login sent by hand.
Access follows payment events, so nobody waits for an email from you.
03 · Excel reports
Training clients get completion reports rebuilt in Excel every month.
Instructor, admin, and client reports come straight from the platform.
04 · Locked-out learners
Screen reader users can't get past the sign-up form.
Every template is tested with a keyboard and screen readers before launch.
Enrollment opens on Monday, and your course lives in four places: unlisted YouTube videos, quizzes in Google Forms, a PayPal button, and a members' spreadsheet. Each new student waits for a login you send by hand. Halfway through, lesson six won't play on their phone. A training client wants completion reports, so you rebuild one in Excel every month. Then a parent writes that their screen reader can't get past your sign-up form.
We start with a free learning review that follows one student from the course page to the certificate. Then we move the pieces onto one platform: lessons, quizzes, payments, and progress behind a single login. Enrollment follows payment on its own, reports come out of the system instead of a spreadsheet, and every template gets checked against WCAG 2.2 AA. Your students spend their time learning, not emailing you for access.
One login for every course
Lessons, quizzes, payments, and certificates sit behind a single student account on your domain.
Accessibility checked early
Keyboard, screen reader, and contrast checks run on every template before students see it.
Reports without spreadsheets
Completion, quiz, and seat reports for instructors, admins, and training clients come from the platform.

Sell courses that enroll students without your help
You sell video courses, and your students juggle a video host, a quiz tool, and a payment link. You want one place where paying unlocks the course and progress saves itself.
Course creators selling online courses: You sell 3 video courses through a patchwork of plugins, and every new student still waits for a login you send by hand.

Our Process
From Free Learning Review to Enrolled Students in Five Steps
You approve the course map and price first, review every lesson page on staging, and see test students finish a course before real ones enroll.
We follow one student from your course page to the certificate: sign-up, payment, lessons, quizzes, and reports. You get a written list of what to move, connect, or fix first.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from an academy founder and other clients after launch.
We approached DeveloperLook needing a recurring billing system that could handle tiered pricing, free trials, and automatic renewals for our membership platform. The team not only delivered exactly that but also connected everything to our CRM so our sales team had full visibility into subscription status. Their communication was clear throughout, they flagged potential issues before they became problems, and the final integration worked flawlessly from day one. Highly recommend them to any subscription business.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.

Not a fit
Budget under $1,250
Your budget is under $1,250 and you only need a few lessons online. Teachable, Thinkific, or a LearnDash template will host them for less.
Full student information system
You need a full system for timetables, grades, and fees. A school management software development company or an SIS such as PowerSchool fits that job better.
Memberships without courses
You only need paid plans and gated content, with no lessons or quizzes. Our Membership Website Development page covers that setup on its own.
School website only
You need a school website with news, events, and staff pages, but no courses or logins. Our CMS Development Services page covers an editable site like that.

Education projects start at $1,250 for an ADA compliance fix and $1,450 for a course website on a WordPress LMS. A course platform with cohorts, membership tiers, and client reports starts at $4,200. A custom LMS with seat licensing, single sign-on, and an AI study assistant starts at $8,900, and each price is fixed after a free learning review.
A course website with up to 3 courses launches in about 3 to 5 weeks. A platform with cohorts, SCORM imports, and client reports takes about 6 to 8 weeks. A custom LMS with SSO and seat licensing takes 10 to 14 weeks. Importing your existing videos and student list usually sets the pace, so we start that in week one.
LMS development, short for learning management system development, is building the software that delivers courses, tracks progress, and records results. A typical LMS handles enrollment, video lessons, quizzes, certificates, and reports for instructors or admins. It can be a configured WordPress plugin, a hosted platform, or a custom build when you need seat licensing, SSO, or your own learning paths.
An edtech company builds or sells technology for teaching and learning, such as course platforms, tutoring apps, or school management systems. Some sell one product to thousands of schools. Development teams like ours build the platform itself for a school, training business, or course creator that wants to own it instead of renting a hosted one.
The best LMS depends on who is learning and who is paying. Schools often run Moodle or Canvas for classes and grades. Course creators who sell online usually start on a hosted platform or a WordPress LMS plugin. A custom LMS makes sense when you need seat licensing for companies, SSO, or learning paths no plugin handles.
In web development, an LMS is a web application that serves courses to logged-in learners and records what they complete. It combines user accounts, a content library, a video player, quizzes, and a progress database. On a website, that usually means a WordPress LMS plugin or a custom app built with React and a database such as PostgreSQL.
Yes. Our education app development services build iOS and Android apps from one React Native or Flutter codebase. Each app is tested on real phones and released to both stores. A tested prototype starts at $1,300, and a first release with sign-in, push notifications, and an admin panel starts at $4,700. The app can share courses and logins with your web platform.
Yes, for US public schools and universities. Under ADA Title II, the Department of Justice's 2024 rule names WCAG 2.1 AA as the standard for their websites and apps, with deadlines starting in April 2027. Private schools and course sellers face ADA claims too. We test against WCAG 2.2 AA, which builds on 2.1 AA, and publish a conformance statement.
Ask each one how they handle student data, accessibility, and course imports before you compare prices. A good partner tests with keyboard and screen reader users, keeps student records in your accounts, and can import SCORM packages and existing videos. In the US, also ask how they handle FERPA for school records and COPPA for apps used by children under 13.
You own the courses, the student records, and the code, and every platform account sits under your school or business. Video hosting, Stripe, and app store listings bill to you directly. Support lasts 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the plan, and your admins get a recorded walkthrough of enrollment, reports, and refunds.
