Let us take care of your online academy, end-to-end.
Both LearnWorlds and MightyNetworks offer a no-code website builder to help you easily create a hosting environment for your knowledge products. To set up your website, LearnWorlds offers more than 400 ready-made templates and widgets that are fully customizable, so you have limitless options to make your website speak your brand.
For more advanced customization, LearnWorlds enables you to put your coding skills forward and edit any element of your website with a built-in HTML code editor. However, if coding is not your cup of tea, you can use a template, change colors and typography, and add logos and widgets - your website will still look sleek with zero development effort.
Building a website with MightyNetworks, though, is fundamentally different. MightyNetworks websites resemble online communities, like Facebook groups, which works fine if your goal is to build a community. What you might find as a downside is the customization options that you'll have, both for building a website and for creating landing pages to highlight a course, an offer, or a new product.
With MightyNetworks, your choices are limited to a couple of templates which you can enhance by adding images, videos, logos, and CTAs. On the other hand, LearnWorlds not only supports full white labeling for your website but also enables you to create a blog to engage your audience and SEO-friendly pages to be easily discoverable by search engines.

Stop the guesswork, and focus on growing your knowledge business
Does more courses mean more revenue? Absolutely not! Any course creator could just roll out a high volume of content and try to monetize it, but quantity is not the secret here. The most successful course creators made a fortune out of a single course that simply spoke to the hearts of a profitable audience. But how would you know how your courses resonate with your audience without the help of deep analytics?
LearnWorlds' Reporting and Analytics offer you deep insights into your courses, content, and user progress, so you can constantly improve and gain more customers. Everything you need to drive business growth is outlined through state-of-the-art graphs and visualizations that allow you to easily understand the peaks and valleys of your business without an analyst degree.
For example, you can see your most engaging courses, your best learning activities, and key metrics about your students' interaction with your school. All these pieces of data are presented in a structured manner and can be easily exported, so you can share them with your team or use them in your own systems.
On the other hand, if you're mostly interested in community analytics, like member activity and post engagement, then MightyNetworks will come in handy. You can easily view active users, comments and post activity over time and use this data to grow your community and increase revenue.
However, if you want to dig deeper in the nitty gritty of your digital academy, like video analytics, user progress reporting, or course insights, then LearnWorlds is the place for you.
