Online learning platform (LMS)
A platform for online courses: lessons with video and tests, student accounts, progress tracking, certificates and payment for learning. Your own online school for your program.
Online learning platform (LMS) — overview

An online learning platform (LMS) is a site where you run your own courses: lessons made of video, text and assignments, quizzes with auto-grading, student progress tracking and certificates. A student registers, pays for access and goes through the program in their account: they see the sequence of topics, the next module opens after a passed test, and progress and deadlines are visible to both the student and you. Unlike a membership site (see the “Membership site” service), where you simply open access to closed materials, an LMS manages learning: tests, tracking of completed topics, deadlines, opening modules based on results and a certificate at the end. For standard courses, ready platforms (like GetCourse) will do; your own LMS pays off when you need special scenarios — integration with your CRM, branded certificates, non-standard access and pricing logic, your own brand without third-party limits and without a cut of sales. The base price starts from 300,000 ₽ for a basic configuration; in practice the total is higher and depends on the lesson formats, number of roles and integrations.
Problems we solve
- Courses are scattered — videos in the cloud, tests in Google Forms, payment separately — inconvenient for students and for you.
- You cannot see student progress: who is studying, who is stuck, who dropped out — and cannot act in time.
- Ready platforms take a subscription or a cut of sales and do not give the logic and branding you need.
- You need to sell access to courses, accept payment and issue certificates — and assembling this by hand is hard.

FAQ
How is your own LMS better than a ready platform (like GetCourse)?
A ready platform is faster to launch — enough for standard courses, but it charges a subscription or a cut and limits the logic and branding. Your own LMS pays off when a special learning structure, integration with your CRM, branded certificates and your brand matter — or you do not want to share a percentage of sales.
How is an LMS different from a membership site?
A membership site simply opens access to closed materials and a community. An LMS manages learning: it guides the student through the program, checks knowledge with tests, opens the next module based on results, counts progress and issues a certificate. It is about the learning result, not just access.
How much does it cost and what does the price depend on?
The base price starts from 300,000 ₽ for a basic configuration; in practice the total is higher. It depends on the lesson formats (video, tests, assignments), the number of roles, the payment method and integrations — we calculate it after you describe the program.
