Course Platform Setup

Your course, built and ready to sell. We set it up on the right platform, load every lesson, and test the whole student journey before anyone enrols.

Course Platform Setup

What This Service Covers

Choosing and configuring a course platform takes longer than most authors expect: pricing, payment, drip schedules, quizzes, certificates and emails all need to work together. We handle the technical side so you can focus on teaching.

We recommend the platform that suits your course and audience, whether that's Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi or another option, then build the course in your account: lessons, downloads, pricing, checkout and welcome emails, all tested end to end.
