Building an LMS WordPress website – Choosing the right tools
The first thing was to make a research about LMS Themes on ThemeForest
(please feel free to propose another one I missed).
where
BP BuddyPress
TU Toutor LMS
LD LearnDash
LP LearnPress
SEN Sensei
OC Other, Custom
What things need to be considered (random order):
1. Total Sales
2. Price
3. Life: months, that this theme is supported
4. Fresh theme (design)
5. LMS platform used
6. BuddyPress supported
7. Elementor, VisualComposer
Based on these and concerning my needs/prefers, EDUMA is the first in (my) list. But....
Issues that still need input (random order):
a. Usability
b. Expandability
c. Design
d. Best platform used (LearnPress or LearnDash, etc)
e. Future support and updates
f. Compatibilities/Incompatibilities
g. Theme Builder (Elementor or VC)
My personal demands/needs
I can only be sure for one. I need Elementor for sure!
And, yes, I would prefer to use a custom design/theme to support the chosen LMS platform.
But as this will be my first step to the Edu-World, a Theme might help a lot...
Concerning the LMS platform, I see more things (plugins, tutorials etc)
in the market about LearnDash –and more serious too, but I don't have any real experience.
I know that you can judge correctly something only if you install and be experienced with this.
But in order to earn valuable time and efforts, I need everyone's experience!
So, I am trying to gather input and comments from "real users". I will be happy to have your comments.
Thanks in advance
