Traditional, rigid LMS solutions are on the decline and flexible, open-source solutions are on the rise.  But trying to build an open-source solution yourself or with a developer is complex, time-consuming and costly.  UncannyLP is the first solution that integrates your corporate web presence, learning management system, eCommerce system, and marketing tools into a single, easy-to-use and fully supported platform. We saw the future of learning, and we built it.

Uncanny LP vs. Do-It-Yourself LMS

WordPress is a fantastic Content Management System, but for a “free” platform, it sure can cost a lot in time and support to build a working elearning platform. Here are some of the typical steps we see when people build their own WordPress sites for elearning:

  •    Choose a theme and then spend days tweaking the CSS to have it do what you want.
  •    Identify the features you need and then figure out which dozens of plugins can help you get there. Buy all the commercial plugins you need, probably for around $1,000.
  •    Troubleshoot all the theme and plugin conflicts. Coordinate with plugin vendors and hope to find support forums for unsupported or abandoned plugins you’re using.
  •    Hire a WordPress developer to fix the inevitable issues and feature gaps that come from using plugins that weren’t designed to work together.
  •    Test and rework the site until you end up with something that mostly works.
  •    Find someone to build that one feature that you really need that doesn’t have a plugin and that no plugin developer will add support for.
  •    Rebuild site functionality as the continuous plugin, WordPress and theme updates keep breaking things as you build your platform.
  •    Test and switch hosts in your search to find an infrastructure that can handle more than 5 users on your site at a time and still load pages in under 3 seconds.
  •    Coordinate a maintenance plan that keeps your site safe and functional.
  •    Cross your fingers that your gaps in knowledge don’t cause the site to break, get hacked or frustrate your users.

We typically see build times for DIY site builders with some WordPress experience of about 75 hours of time over 2 to 3 months. It’s even longer if you’re new to WordPress. And in all cases, without a lot of expertise, your site will have issues you don’t know how to fix and it won’t work exactly the way you wanted it to.
