The online courses industry is booming now, people are inclining towards online learning, and almost all types of courses available online.
From knitting to DIY, Gym to Fitness training, robotics to medicals almost all the knowledge is being shared online through various courses.
If you’re also planning to create an online course to share your knowledge then I highly recommend using MemberPress Courses Add-on.
MemeberPress is a WordPress plugin that lets you create Membership websites in no time without any coding or styling work.
MemberPress recently introduced a new Courses add-on that lets users create courses. MemberPress Courses addon is a complete solution for creating and selling your courses online.
There are multiple features this Courses add-on brings like
- No Complex Coding Required
- Course Progress Tracking
- Classroom Mode: Takes care of looks and feel
- Easy Access to courses asset in WordPress
- Building Courses Curriculum Visually
One of the main benefits you’re getting is Classroom Mode.
Classroom mode is a feature that takes care of the colors and branding of your courses.
When enabled you can customize the colors and look, you can also upload your business logo to stay consistent with your branding.
Customize the Colors and Look of Your Courses Page
Head over to MemberPress> Settings> Courses Tab. There make sure the Classroom mode is enabled for better user experience and mobile responsive look and feel.
Now above this, there is a link to the “WordPress Customizer”. When you click on this link you’ll be taken to a theme customizer where you can change your course’s colors and upload a logo too to streamline the course’s look with the rest of your site.
- I recommend trying to design your course as the rest of your site’s colors and fonts because branding is the thing you must be careful about.
Advanced CSS
If you already have some CSS for styling and designing for your site then you can apply those CSS classes into advanced CSS fields for next/previous buttons and breadcrumb links.
Now, you’re all set by branding purpose.
