Why not just use WordPress to build an online course platform?

Post by armdrejoan »

They use WordPress to build their official website, but use Teachify to build their online course platform? ! — Case Study
Today I want to share with you some creators who are very powerful in their respective fields!

They all use WordPress to build their official blogs and personal brand websites. If you look closely, you will find that although their fields are completely different, the common point is that everyone has written many professional articles and shared unique thoughts and opinions. In the Navbar of the official website, you can see an "online course" related category. After clicking on it, you will enter the online course platform built by Teachify.

The overall tone and style of the pictures are consistent, and there is a custom domain (the URLs do not look very different). For students, unless they have a keen eye (or an engineering background), they would never guess that the two websites are built with different content management systems!

Why not just use WordPress to build an online course platform?
There is no doubt that WordPress is a world-recognized and very powerful content management system (CMS).

In addition to having a relatively intuitive operating interface, WordPress also has a lot of free online resources and website themes that can be flexibly adjusted according to needs. It is also very friendly to SEO search engine optimization and can help you get a better website ranking. So if your website simply contains some articles and pictures, WP is a good website building tool.

But it may not be the best choice for building and managing an online course platform.

There are two main reasons:

1. You need to have strong technical ability and development experience
Unlike building your own blog, where you only need to look good, building an online teaching platform is very complicated from a technical perspective. In addition to considering content management and membership management, you also have to think clearly about how to connect the financial flow, the smoothness of audio and video playback, the viewing effects on different devices, etc., not to mention that there are also security issues that need to be taken into account later.

There are many plug-ins that can be installed in WP, which is a good thing because there are many choices. But if you are already using WordPress, you will find that these plug-ins will require upgrades and updates from time to time in the name of security vulnerabilities. If you are not careful and click something you shouldn’t, either the webpage will run out of version or the entire website will crash.
