A course platform inside your own WordPress website: WP Courseware – early honest review

Are you ready to create and sell an online course for your business?

And you don’t want a separate tool to deliver it – you want it inside your WordPress website?

I have found a course platform tool called WP Courseware. It’s a plug in that you can add to your WordPress website that essentially puts Thinkific into your own website. 

Sound interesting? 

Some people just like having it all in their website. 

Personally it makes me a little nervous. 

What if I put the plugin on and my site crashes? 

Won’t it take up more space and cost more for hosting? 

I hear you. Questions questions. 

Which is why I made this video of me fumbling through WP Courseware in my early days so you can see how easy/hard it is to use and hear some of my pro’s and cons around having this kind of course set up.

Overall impressions:

I would say that this is pretty easy to use. 

Obviously, I had a couple of issues with display on the Courses page, and I haven’t even set up my payment gateways yet. But I do think this option has promise.  It’s all there and has a tonne of features you will otherwise page much more for like: drip feed, quizzes and more. 

Also, it’s currently on sale with AppSumo for $39USD which is just like 2 months of Thinkific. Bargain. 

My main reservation is

What if it crashed my site?

So I used a whole new domain to practice on. Which kind of removes the benefit of having it all on your site….
