Course Creator Website Templates

The course business that lasts is the one with an archive: sixty free articles that each rank for a question a beginner asks, each ending with a reason to enroll. Paid ads fill a launch; the archive fills the months between. Amrify is built for the archive, and it leaves checkout, video and student access to the platform already doing that work.

The course-creator template, with its curriculum layouts and enrollment page patterns, is not among the ten launch templates and reaches owners as a free update. The publishing engine, the schema, the lead engine and the widgets are what you get now, and they are the parts that fill the funnel.

Where a Student Meets You First

A prospective student rarely arrives on the sales page. They arrive on “how to price a freelance design project” from a phone at lunch, read for four minutes, and either click the course link at the bottom or forget you. The page that wins that moment is the one that appeared instantly and read well on a small screen.

Google folds Core Web Vitals into where that article ranks, so speed decides both whether the reader arrives and whether they stay. A WordPress site running an LMS plugin plus a page builder pays a performance tax on every free article, even the ones that carry no course machinery. Amrify compiles the article to one HTML file. Because a template cannot leave CI with any Lighthouse audit under 100, a content edit cannot quietly make the site slow.

Grade your current course site with the free website grader and put it next to two competing creators with the comparison tool. Both run Google’s own test in about thirty seconds with no account, and both check for structured data and an llms.txt, which is what the AI answer engines read when someone asks them to recommend a course.

The Publishing Engine

Each lesson article is one text file whose frontmatter block names its title, description, date, tags, category, author and cover image. The Zod schema validates it during the build, so an article missing its description fails on your machine rather than going live with an empty search snippet. The build writes the page, its generated Open Graph image, Article JSON-LD, its sitemap entry, its RSS item and a reading time.

Course pages are a collection too. Each carries its outline, its outcomes, the FAQ with FAQPage schema, and student testimonials you have actually collected. The Enroll button is a link to your platform’s checkout. On phones, Pro’s sticky CTA turns into a persistent Enroll bar; it is a SolidJS island, so pages that do not show it ship no script for it.

For coaching or cohort inquiries, the lead engine takes the form submission, emails it through SES, pings Telegram or SMS, stores it in DynamoDB and filters spam before you see it. Email-list signups go to your email provider’s form or endpoint, since a list belongs in the tool that sends the newsletter.

Which Side Handles What

Your course platform (Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, Podia, Gumroad or a Stripe Checkout link) handles payment, drip, video hosting and student progress. It always will; Amrify does not try to be an LMS.

Amrify handles everything a search engine or a reader touches first: the article library, the course landing pages, FAQ, about, testimonials, structured data, llms.txt and the forms. It also handles sign-in if you want it: Amrify Pro includes optional customer accounts on Amazon Cognito. Gated lesson content still lives on the platform.

Because the two are joined by URLs, switching platforms later means changing links, not rebuilding the site.

Price, and the Free Way to Start

The free Amrify Starter is a complete site with blog and tags, RSS, JSON-LD, generated OG images, llms.txt and no JavaScript framework, gated at Lighthouse 100 in CI. Free for unlimited personal and commercial sites, not resellable as a template, public repo at launch. A single-course creator can run on it indefinitely.

Amrify Pro adds categories and author pages, the lead engine, customer accounts, the widgets, the ten trade templates, four Claude Code skills and seventeen docs, and a monorepo for running several course brands from one codebase. You pay once: $249 as one of the first 5,000 founding members, $399 afterwards, for unlimited sites and updates for life. Nobody can buy yet; creating a free account reserves the $249 price until checkout opens. You receive the code as access to a private GitHub repo, granted from the dashboard to one seat. Video tutorials are filming now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell courses directly from my site?

Not through Amrify itself; it is the marketing site, not the checkout or the video host. The Enroll button links to Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, Podia, Gumroad or any checkout URL, and the platform handles payment, drip and student access. That split also means you can change platforms without rebuilding the site.

Does it integrate with course platforms?

Yes, by URL. Every course page and CTA points wherever enrollment happens. Deeper embeds, such as a platform’s signup widget, mount as a SolidJS island on the one page that needs it while the rest of the site stays static.

How do I add testimonials?

As content entries: a student’s name, their quote, an optional photo and the course it relates to. They render on the course page and the homepage. Amrify ships no sample testimonials, so anything on the page is one you collected.

Can I create a membership area?

Amrify Pro includes optional customer accounts on Amazon Cognito, which covers sign-in. Gated lessons, video hosting and recurring billing still belong on your course platform or a service like Memberful; the site sends students there and stays fast.
