Detailed Course Page
Sample Course Page |
The course page can contain extensive information, such as description, syllabus, periods, galleries, attachments, a Google Map and much more. A slick layout is automatically applied to all pages, so you can focus on writing about your courses. Not satisfied? You can apply custom CSS too. Boost SEO! Course pages are automatically linked with the catalog, and you can display Related Courses with a few clicks. This ensures Google, Yahoo and other search engines will have an easy time navigating and ranking your catalog. |
Multiple Catalogs

Separate your courses into multiple catalogs and show them anywhere. Each catalog can contain different categories and custom taxonomies, as well as unique filters to help visitor browse courses. For example, if you teach coding, build the catalogs “Programming For Kids” and “Advanced Long Courses”. Displaying different course catalogs can be easily done with the help of simple shortcode. |
Two sample catalogs |
Boost Visual Content

Visual Course Page | Each entry supports star ratings, so your students can evaluate each course. Manage all the ratings from the Backend to prevent bots from cheating attempts. |

Limited Course Page |
Organize Course Within Categories and Taxonomies
Now your courses will have their own classifications, for example, based on target audiences, locations, etc.
Course List in the Backend |
Clients will easily find necessary information about courses without opening each of them. Organize courses within larger categories, like “Languages” or “Coding” so users will find more programs. |
Send Email Reports and Customize Labels
With the Learning Management System you can add courses for international students in different languages. Just translate labels and add content in preferred languages.
| Once users are registered to any course, both admin and users get email reports about their registration. |
