Courses + LMS · CP52
Your courses. Your site. Your students. Your money.
A full learning platform: authoring, drip, quizzes, certificates, community, memberships. It embeds in any website with one script tag. Students only ever see your brand, and every payment settles to your own Stripe. No marketplace, no redirect, no cut.
The differentiator
The leaders route your students off-site. This one runs inside your own.
Every hosted course platform makes your students leave your site: off to a marketplace page with somebody else's logo, somebody else's checkout, somebody else's cut of the money. This LMS works the other way round: the course player, the my-courses hub and the community feed render inside your own pages, in your brand, as self-contained widgets that drop into any site with one script tag.
Your domain. Your brand. Your student relationship. And because payments run on your own Stripe key, your money never routes through us. The screenshot is a real, rendered view of the platform your students use: their my-courses hub, in the school's own brand. It's the same LMS that already runs, embedded by a single script tag, on a working artist's site and shop.

Real screenshots of the running platform, no mock-ups. Each is a shot of the actual course player; click any screenshot to see it full-size.
The course player
A player that lives in your site, not a redirect off it
Modules and lessons in a clean sidebar, a progress bar that remembers where each student got to, and a distraction-free Focus mode. Lessons carry more than video: rich text, callouts, downloads, embedded media and step-by-step exercises all render in the same player.
- Module + lesson sidebar with per-lesson timings
- Progress tracking, resume where you left off
- Focus mode for distraction-free study
- Rich lessons: text, callouts, video, downloads, exercises
Structure + drip
Author it in modules and lessons, release it on your schedule
A course is modules and lessons, each one timed: the structure your students move through. You decide when each part unlocks: immediately, on a date, a set number of days after enrolment, or strictly in sequence. Week-by-week teaching without you doing the admin every week.
- Modules → lessons, ordered your way
- Drip: immediate, dated, day-offset or sequential
- Self-paced by design: short lessons, real momentum
Everything it does
The three screens above are the visible tip. Here's the full platform: every item below is built and test-verified; the honest LIVE / TEST / IN-BUILD status is a little further down.
-
Course authoring
A course builder with an 11-block lesson editor, plus dedicated quiz and drip editors: modules, lessons, the lot.
-
Player + progress
A responsive course player with progress tracking, Focus mode, and a my-courses hub for every student.
-
Drip + scheduling
Release content immediately, on a date, days after enrolment, or sequentially: week-by-week teaching without the admin.
-
Quizzes + graded assignments
The full loop: students submit, work lands in your review queue, feedback goes back, not just multiple choice.
-
Certificates
PDF certificates with a public verification URL, issued on completion.
-
Per-course community
Each course gets its own private feed: broadcast, pin, discuss. Members in, everyone else out.
-
Memberships + entitlements
Purchase-to-access wiring, tiers, and refund-revokes-access handled properly.
-
Live sessions + attendance
Scheduled live sessions with RSVP and attendance: the piece most course platforms don't have at all.
-
White-label + multi-tenant
Your brand only, and one platform that can serve many creatives' sites; it's how we run it ourselves.
What actually differs from the big course platforms
Both of these are hosted for you and billed monthly. What differs is whose brand the student sees, whose list they land on, whose Stripe the money reaches — and whether anyone takes a slice of the sale. Every row here is true.
| What matters | CP52 Summit | The big course platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Where students learn | On your own site + domain | On the platform's pages |
| Whose brand they see | Yours only, white-label | Often co-branded, especially on lower tiers |
| Where the money settles | Straight to your own Stripe | Through the platform's processor, then paid out |
| Marketplace / transaction cut | None | Transaction fees on cheaper plans |
| Per-student fees | None | Some platforms meter seats |
| Your student list + data | Yours, on infrastructure you control | Held on their platform |
| Add it to a site you already have | One script tag: any site, any stack | Usually a hosted site or a redirect |
Both of these are hosted for you and billed monthly. What differs is whose brand the student sees, whose list they land on, and whose Stripe the money reaches — and whether anyone takes a slice of the sale. We don't.
Now do the maths
One deck, instead of a shelf of subscriptions.
Every hosted platform bills you month after month, for as long as you teach, and takes a cut of what you sell on top. CP52 is one deck instead of a shelf of them: a single monthly plan for hosting and support, no setup fee — and we never take a percentage of your sales.
A hosted course platform, e.g. StellarSites’ Learning plan — plus the mailing tool and CRM beside it
£276–744a year, for the course half alone
£23–62/mo for the courses, before the mailing tool (~£300/yr) and the CRM (~£180/yr) sitting next to it — and transaction fees on the cheaper plans.
CP52 Gold: every module but Holiday+, hosting and support
£1,050a year
One monthly plan, no setup fee, and no percentage of your sales — however much you sell.
The arithmetic, straight, including the part that doesn’t flatter us: a course platform at £23–62 a month is only the course half. Put the mailing tool and the CRM beside it and the shelf lands somewhere around £63–102 a month across three separate bills, plus a slice of sales on the cheaper plans. WebDeck Gold is £1,050 a year on one bill. At the bottom of that range their shelf is cheaper, and we are not going to pretend otherwise — what the £1,050 also buys you is the shop, the card till, the workshop bookings, the accounts and the video editor, none of which are on that shelf at all, and no cut taken from anything you sell.
And the Gold deck retires the monthly tools too
- CP52 Mailreplaces Brevo / Mailchimp~£300/yr
- CP52 CRMreplaces a CRM subscription~£180/yr
Another ~£480/yr of separate bills gone. The CRM and CP52 Mail engines (Compass) ship inside every edition, Presence to Gold — live today.
No stripped-back budget version, either: you get the full platform: authoring, drip, quizzes, certificates, community, memberships and live sessions. Not a cut-down tier with the good parts held back for an upgrade.
The part the course platforms don’t do at all
One deck — then let InkFox run it. Your own AI PA drives the whole thing: automated workflows, email responders, the day-to-day admin handled, so you teach while it runs the machinery.
Sources (2026): StellarSites Learning plan £23–62/mo (Essential / Plus / Ultimate; $29–79 at £1 ≈ $1.27): stellarwp.com/stellarsites-pricing. Mailing-tool and CRM figures are the typical advertised rates in the table above. CP52 Gold £1,050/yr = the full-deck tier priced on this page.
What's live today — honestly
We'll never sell you a dotted line as a solid one. This platform scored 85–88% against our own best-in-class bar in the 3 July 2026 audit. Here's what that means in practice.
-
LIVE · embedded on a real site
The embed widgets are already consumed by a working artist's live site and shop: the white-label claim is running in the wild, today.
-
TEST · the full platform
Authoring, player, drip, quizzes, certificates, community, memberships and live sessions all run on our test deployment, with the automated test suite green. Stripe is deliberately in test mode until the payment gate passes: that's the TEST MODE badge you can see in the screenshots above.
-
DONE · the last mile
Transactional email now goes out on Amazon SES and account sign-in works by emailed code. The platform ships as WebDeck Academy (£49/mo) and in Gold — on sale online — one monthly plan, no setup fee.
About the proof on this page
You'll notice there are no five-star testimonials or “10,000 students” banners here. That's deliberate. The only proof we'll show you is proof we can stand behind: this platform runs on the maker's own live art business: the same embed you see above is on a working artist's site and shop today. When the first schools using it hit their first real wins, their words go here: real names, real quotes. Not before.
