  • Can We Make WordPress Look Like MasterClass WITHOUT Code (Sensei Tutorial)

    Bycasabona

    One of the most frustrating things about creating an online course is it doesn’t always feel like you have control over the user experience. Either you are using something like Kajabi or Teachable, and you’re basically beholden to the user experience they’ve prescribed for you and your users, or you’re using your own self-hosted platform, and you probably need to hire a developer to completely customize it.

    Well, today I’m going to show you Sensei and the new Course theme and how you can get a lot of customization done by just using the tools that they’ve made available to you.
