Web development for education and EdTech
Education and EdTech web development: LMS builds on WordPress, course and enrollment funnels, member areas, and the performance that keeps students in the flow.
Bands are editorial estimates, Q2 2026 — same method as the rate benchmarks. Your quote is scoped to your actual project.
Education sites are two products in one URL: the marketing surface that fills programs, and the learning surface where students live. Confusing the two is how schools end up with brochure sites that cannot teach or LMS graveyards nobody enrolls through. The work is building both, connected — enrollment funnels that convert, learning areas that stay out of the way.
On the WordPress side this means LMS architecture done properly — courses, lessons, progress, gated content, payments — with the performance discipline most LMS installs skip (they are notoriously heavy). For training companies and EdTech products: enrollment flows, cohort handling, content dripping, certificate generation, and integrations with the tools where student data actually lives.

Questions
Asked about hiring for education.
Own the student relationship, custom workflows, full margin control: WordPress LMS. Zero maintenance appetite, standard course shape, happy to rent: the hosted platforms are genuinely good. The trap is the middle — customizing a rented platform into a LaaS bill. The brief conversation draws that line honestly.
Usually yes — LMS slowness is mostly uncontrolled plugin stacking, unoptimized media and aggressive page builders. A focused performance pass routinely halves load times without touching the learning setup. Where the architecture itself is the problem, you see that finding with evidence before any rebuild is proposed.
Yes — cohort logic, start dates, drip schedules, enrollment windows and waitlists are standard custom work, and usually the differentiator between an education business and a course upload. This is exactly the kind of workflow LMS plugins do badly and custom development does quietly.
