The challenge

A manually-operated training business generating good revenue but losing enrolments to digital-first competitors. No existing tech stack, staff with limited digital literacy, 400+ course alumni to migrate, and a target launch tied to a new cohort intake.

What we built

Literesults built a custom LMS on Next.js with a headless CMS backend, optimised for non-technical administrators. Alongside the build, we ran a parallel digital skills programme for three of the client's staff: content management, student communications, and basic data reporting. By launch day, the client team could operate the system without us.

How we worked

  1. Week 1

    Discovery and content audit

    Mapped existing content library, defined admin user journeys, specified CMS requirements for non-technical users.

  2. Weeks 2–5

    LMS build

    Course player, enrolment flow, progress tracking, certificate issuance, and admin panel. Staff training started week 3.

  3. Week 6

    Content migration

    400+ learner records migrated, all course content imported, SEO optimisation completed.

  4. Weeks 7–8

    Launch and handover

    Public launch with 400+ day-1 enrolments. Full documentation delivered. Staff signed off as independent operators.

We verified three candidates in under ten minutes. One had a certificate from another bootcamp that turned out to be completely fabricated. Literesults caught it immediately.
