Customization & Integrations

Own Your Academy / 07

Make the academy
work your way.

Start with the tools to run your courses, coaching and community. We set them up for your business, connect other services where needed and review any extra features you want built.

The main software, set up for your business.

  • Your workflows
  • Your integrations
  • Your customer experience

An example of how the academy fits together. We agree the settings, connections and extra work with you.

A different requirement.
The right response.

You may not need anything new built. We first check whether the existing features and settings can do the job.

01

Configure

Shape the existing platform.

Choose how your courses and groups are organized, who gets access, how bookings and forms work, and how your academy looks.

02

Connect

Keep the right services connected.

Keep useful outside services for payments, video, email, meetings or other tasks. We check which ones can work with your academy before agreeing to connect them.

03

Customize

Extend where there’s a clear need.

If the existing tools cannot do what you need, we can review a new feature, report or screen. We agree what can be built and what it will cost before starting.

02 / Your brand, throughout

It should feel
like your academy.

Use your logo, colors and fonts on your academy pages and student area. We also agree which messages should carry your branding, so customers recognize your business.

Your academy has its own setup and agreed web address, such as academy.yourbusiness.com. We build the agreed public pages with your branding and content.

Example branding screen. We agree the look and web address for your academy.

Plan the steps
your customers take.

Does someone buy a course straight away, or apply and speak with you first? We work out those steps with you before setting them up.

04 / Connected where it counts

Keep what
still makes sense.

You do not have to replace every tool you use. If a service works well for your business, we can check how to connect it to your academy.

  • Meetings
  • Analytics
  • Business systems
These are types of services we can review. We need to check your specific provider before confirming a connection.

You may need less
custom work than you think.

Tell us what you need to get done. Before building a new feature, we check that it will work safely with the rest of the academy and can be looked after over time.

  1. 01

    Does the platform already support it?

    Yes: set it up for your academy.
    If not, look at other services.

    Configure
  2. 02

    Can another service do the job?

    Yes: check how to connect it.
    If not, consider building a feature.

  3. 03

    Is it worth building something new?

    If it is a good fit, agree the work and cost. Otherwise, look for another way to solve the problem.

Built with tomorrow in mind

Make room for change.
Keep a path forward.

We think about future updates before building a custom feature. Some software updates may mean that feature needs changes too. We discuss that maintenance work when planning what to build.

Extra features and tool connections can affect the price. We first work out what the existing software can do, then explain any extra work needed.
