You will need to use a theme on your WordPress site to go along with LifterLMS. Our Launchpad theme is a paid option, that is included in both of our plugin bundles (Universe Bundle and Infinity Bundle). However, LifterLMS also works with any well-coded theme and there are may other options (including free options) you could choose from.

We have a variety of paid add-ons. Most people want to accept online payments and that’s where our e-Commerce add-ons come into play. If you would like to integrate email marketing, we also have paid add-ons for that. At the highest level our premium advanced add-ons in the Infinity Bundle include advanced features for LifterLMS like Social Learning (a Facebook-like social experience) and Private Areas (for individual coaching).

A good place to start, if you want to create a course and sell it online would be the Universe Bundle; it’s a better value than buying the add-ons individually and includes our LaunchPad theme, payment gateway and email marketing add-ons as well as others. If you decided you wanted more of the advanced features, you could always upgrade to the Infinity Bundle at a later time.

If you are interested in checking out the various add-ons to see what you might like or need, we would suggest signing up for our 30 day demo site — it’s just $1 with no recurring charges or fees. It gives you access to a fully functioning site to “play” with for a month while you research to see if LifterLMS is a good fit for your project.
