The challenge:
The owner of Paperless Lactation - Annie Frisbie, faced great challenges finding the right eLearning platform for her business needs. Squarespace and Zoom didn't suffice as she quickly outgrew their limitations. Podia helped her sell digital products, but issuing continuing ed certificates became time-consuming for learners. Seeking a quicker and simpler solution, Annie tried Thinkific and Teachable but they fell short.

Seeking the Right Match for Paperless Lactation
Delivering the Utmost Best to Learners
An attempt to ensure that Paperless Lactation offers learners everything they need encouraged Annie to start looking for a platform that could provide that—and much more. While figuring out what worked for the academy and what didn't, she realized that all the platforms she had used previously didn't meet her standards; instead, they only made students' lives much more complex than necessary.
Looking for a Feature-Rich and Simple eLearning Platform
Annie knew that a quicker, more intuitive, and easier-to-use elearning platform would solve the problem. So she started researching other platforms, looking for those features that could help her build the online academy of her dreams: the certificate request process, video editing, live sessions, and community-building capabilities.
