We are a WordPress agency that specializes in LearnDash and the wider LMS ecosystem — LearnDash, LifterLMS and TutorLMS — not a generalist shop that touches it once a year. If you are moving off Teachable or Kajabi to own your platform, or building a new course site from scratch, we set up your WordPress LMS properly the first time: course structure, quizzes and certificates, drip schedules, group enrollment, and the payment gateway wired to the correct access level. You hand over your course outline and content; you get back a working LMS your students can buy and complete. ## What's Included in Our LearnDash Setup - Course, lesson and topic structure mapped from your outline - Quizzes, assignments and automated certificates - Drip content and prerequisites tied to the right trigger - Stripe, PayPal or WooCommerce checkout and pricing - Group and bulk enrollment for teams and cohorts - LearnDash + membership integration (MemberPress or PMPro) - ProPanel reporting and student progress tracking - Speed optimization for video and resource-heavy courses [Get a Free Consultation](#consultation-form) ## Who This Is For #### Leaving Teachable or Kajabi Course creators who want to own their platform and keep more revenue. #### Coaches and experts Launching a first paid cohort and need it done right, not DIY-fragile. #### Associations and teams That need group enrollment, seats and reporting. #### Existing LearnDash sites Half-built, broken on renewals, or slow. *If you just need one simple lesson page with no payments and no access control, the free LearnPress plugin handles that fine — you probably do not need us.* ## How It Works #### Step 1 — Discovery We turn your outline into a LearnDash structure before touching the build. #### Step 2 — Build & payments Courses, quizzes, drip, certificates and your Stripe or WooCommerce checkout. #### Step 3 — Test & review We run real test purchases and a student walkthrough before launch. #### Step 4 — Launch & handover A working LMS plus a short Loom on adding the next course yourself.

If LearnDash is the wrong tool for your model, we will tell you — no sales pitch. [Get a Free Consultation](#consultation-form) ## Why a LearnDash Specialist, Not a Generalist The most common issue we fix on inherited sites: drip content tied to the wrong date, so lessons unlock on the course start instead of each student’s enrollment — and Stripe webhooks that never revoke access when a renewal fails. Generalist developers ship those bugs and move on. We know where they hide. We have configured LearnDash, LifterLMS and TutorLMS across 40+ client sites, with the membership and payment plumbing that course platforms actually need. If LearnDash is the wrong tool for your model, we will tell you — sometimes [a membership plugin with light course features](https://techcreative.dev/wordpress-membership-site-development.md) is the smarter build. See the official [LearnDash documentation](https://www.learndash.com/support/docs/) for the depth involved.

Most LearnDash builds run in the low four figures, depending on course count, quizzes and whether you need membership tiers or group enrollment. After the discovery call you get a fixed quote — no hourly surprises. How long does it take? A standard LearnDash setup with up to ten courses, Stripe checkout and drip content typically takes 2–3 weeks from signed brief to launch-ready handover. Larger catalogs and migrations take longer. Can I set this up myself? You can — LearnDash is DIY-friendly for a single simple course. Most people call us once they hit quizzes, certificates, drip rules tied to enrollment, or payment access that has to switch off on failed renewals. That is where days disappear. LearnDash or LifterLMS — which should I use? If you want the largest add-on ecosystem and ProPanel reporting, LearnDash. If you want courses, memberships and payments in one plugin with fewer moving parts, LifterLMS. We help you decide on the discovery call based on your model, not a blog ranking. Do you work with existing or migrated LearnDash sites? Yes. Fixing half-built LearnDash sites and migrating course libraries off Teachable, Kajabi or Thinkific is one of our most common projects. Your students, progress and purchases come across. What happens after launch? You get a handover Loom and 30 days of support to catch anything in the wild. Ongoing updates, backups and tweaks are covered by our care plans if you want them.

LearnDash is the most widely used learning management system plugin for WordPress. It turns a WordPress site into a full course platform with lessons, topics, quizzes, certificates and drip content. It is best for course creators, coaches and organizations that want to own their platform and student data instead of renting space on Teachable or Kajabi. LearnDash vs LifterLMS vs TutorLMS LearnDash has the deepest add-on ecosystem and the strongest reporting through ProPanel. LifterLMS bundles courses, memberships and payments into one plugin, which keeps a smaller setup simpler. TutorLMS is the lightest and most budget-friendly, with a clean course builder. The right choice depends on how much membership and payment logic you need around the courses. LearnDash and membership plugins together Many course sites need both a LMS and a membership layer — for example, selling a monthly plan that unlocks a library of courses. LearnDash pairs cleanly with MemberPress or Paid Memberships Pro for this. Getting the access rules and renewal handling right is the part that most often goes wrong, and the part we handle. Common LearnDash mistakes we fix The big three: drip content tied to a fixed date instead of each student’s enrollment; payment gateways that never revoke access when a card fails; and video courses with no speed optimization that crawl on mobile. Each one quietly costs you completions and refunds. ## Get a Free Consultation Tell us about your courses and we will map the LearnDash build. Free, no obligation — we reply within one business day.
