FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about building and scaling a custom Learning Management System.

What is a Learning Management System?
A Learning Management System is a software platform that lets institutions manage courses, track learner progress, host live classes, and report on academic outcomes from one place.
How long does it take to build a custom LMS?
A focused LMS MVP with core modules typically takes 10 to 16 weeks. A full featured platform with live classes, analytics and mobile apps can take 4 to 8 months depending on integrations.
Can the LMS support live classes and video conferencing?
Yes. We integrate live class providers such as Zoom, Jitsi and WebRTC directly into the platform, with recording, attendance capture and chat support built in.
Is the platform mobile friendly?
Yes. Every LMS we build is fully responsive and we also offer native mobile apps for iOS and Android so learners can study from any device.
Can it integrate with existing student information systems?
Yes. We integrate with existing student information systems, payment gateways and HR tools through REST APIs, so institutions do not need to re-enter data across systems.
What is the cost of building a custom LMS?
Cost depends on scope. A core LMS with course management, assessments and live classes typically starts from $20,000 to $40,000. Larger multi tenant platforms with advanced analytics range higher. We provide fixed price quotes after a discovery session.
Do you provide ongoing support after launch?
Yes. We offer 24/7 support plans covering updates, security patches, performance monitoring and new feature development as your institution grows.
Can the LMS scale to thousands of institutions?
Yes. The architecture is built on a multi tenant, cloud native foundation designed to scale from a single institution to thousands without a redesign.
