What you get for the work.
- 01
Video that doesn't stutter
Mux or Cloudflare Stream with adaptive bitrate. Watermarking on request. Anti-piracy good enough for most creators.
- 02
Progress tracking that holds up
Per-lesson, per-module progress with resume-where-you-left-off. The data model survives a course revision.
- 03
Cohorts when you need them
Cohort start dates, drip schedules, accountability buddies, group chat. Or evergreen, your call.
- 04
Owned by you
Course content stays yours. Video is in your account. Customer data is in your database. No vendor holding your audience hostage.

What a starter LMS looks like
Five courses, video pipeline, progress tracking, Stripe checkout with payment plans, lesson-release emails, admin. Ten to fourteen weeks. Students can buy, watch, and resume from launch day.
Where the build scales
Cohort mechanics (start dates, drips, accountability, community) are the most common scaler. Live workshops add the streaming chapter. Certifications add a credentialing data model. Affiliate programs add attribution and payouts.
What we will not build
Courses with no completion data instrumentation. Anything where the creator hasn't validated the audience will pay.
Common questions.
- Why not Teachable or Thinkific?
- They're fine for course one or course two. For creators with audience leverage, the platform tax (transaction fees, branding, customer data ownership) is real. We rebuild from those tools when the math swings.
- How long until launch?
- Ten to fourteen weeks at the $45k floor. Video pipeline and progress data model are the longest poles.
- Can students pay in installments?
- Yes. Stripe payment plans at the floor. Klarna / Affirm on request.
- Do you handle live workshops?
- We integrate Zoom or LiveKit. Live presence inside the LMS is in the scaler bucket.
