Education and Learning Platforms
Course platforms get complicated once there is more than one client, domain, or place to buy. 84EM builds and consolidates LearnDash and WordPress learning platforms for education businesses.
One platform, many clients
Multi-tenant learning platforms that serve distinct audiences without a separate install for each.
Purchases that grant access
Course access granted automatically at purchase, across every channel the courses sell through.
One accountable owner
The engineer who scopes the platform is the one who builds and ships it, which matters when the platform is the business.
Orders in one place
Sales from multiple platforms combined into one order record instead of 3 separate ones.
The second client is where it gets expensive
A single course site is straightforward. The trouble starts when the same courses have to serve a second corporate client, brand, or domain. The quick answer is another install, and that answer stops scaling around the third one.
84EM consolidated a leadership development firm’s WordPress and LearnDash installations into one platform, unified order management and course access for an online education business selling through 3 channels, and built automated partner branding for a LearnDash platform running across dozens of partner domains.
Consolidation is mostly an access problem
The hard part of merging installations is the rules: who can see what, which brand an email should carry, and how a purchase on one channel grants access on the platform.
Those rules can be expressed once and applied everywhere, which usually makes the consolidated version cheaper to run than the copies it replaces.
What 84EM Builds for Learning Platforms
Multi-tenant learning platforms
One LearnDash or WordPress platform serving multiple corporate clients or partner brands. See learning platforms.
Order and course access integration
Orders from any sales channel written to a single record, with the matching courses unlocked at purchase.
Partner and white-label branding
Automated per-partner branding on emails and communications, without maintaining a separate template for each.
Access and enrollment rules
Enrollment, permissions, and access rules applied consistently across brands and domains.
Proof of Work
Branded Partner Communications for a Multi-Domain Learning Platform
A LearnDash platform operating across dozens of partner domains needed every email to reflect the correct partner's brand. Automated white-labeling replaced the need for separate templates per partner and ensured consistent branding across the entire learner journey.

An online education business sold LearnDash courses through three separate platforms with no centralized order tracking or automatic course access.
