The New LearnWorlds SiteBuilder has arrived!
This is it! The moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here. As of today, your school has full access to the new LearnWorlds SiteBuilder, the most powerful and user-friendly page builder in the online course industry and beyond.
This is an enormous upgrade, allowing you to create the most stunning online schools and giving you more control and more capabilities than ever before. Oh, and did I mention that this upgrade is absolutely free?
Check this out!
Why is this important for me?
Your online school is the heart and soul of your online business. Design matters. Speed matters. User-friendliness matters. In order to succeed, you need to have the best-looking, highest-converting website. Every visit counts, every click counts, every conversion counts. You want to make the most out of your site, and you only have one chance to make a great first impression to a new visitor. Don’t waste this chance with a sub-optimal website.
However, not every edupreneur can afford to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on a custom school design and an expert developer to implement it. And even if you can afford them, not every designer or coder is an expert on designing and building an online school. In fact, building an online school from scratch is a monumental task.
The new LearnWorlds SiteBuilder is a revolutionary tool that makes it a breeze to build and maintain beautiful eLearning websites, with just a few clicks. Absolutely no code and no design skills required.
This is an enormous upgrade, allowing you to create the most stunning web pages with minimal effort. This is what you need to stay ahead of the pack and capture every last conversion.
What do I get?
It seems like Santa made an early visit this year! With the new School SiteBuilder you can create your perfect school rapidly and effortlessly, promote your brand and have loyal and happy customers with pages that convert like never before.
You get tons of new functionality, like:
This is the ultimate No-Code and No-Design skills solution for creating your top-converting online school.
By the way, this is a completely free upgrade for every LearnWorlds customer. Tons of new functionality and the best SiteBuilder in the industry with no extra cost.
Will I get the upgrade automatically?
No. But this is for your own good. The new SiteBuilder is light years ahead of the old PageBuilder (and anything else that the competition has to show), so an automatic upgrade would not be possible or safe for your site.
Innovation doesn’t happen by gradual changes. In fact, radical innovation usually happens by leaps and bounds. The new SiteBuilder is such a case. In order to bring you the best Website Builder we had to break compatibility with the old design. Automatic import of content is not possible because we can’t risk having you lose any of the tiny changes and customizations you might have done.
But of course, we have taken all the extra steps to make your transition to the new Website Builder as smooth as possible. In fact, you have all the time in the world, 9 whole months, to make the transition (this is an eternity measured on internet time). On December 2021 the old Pages Builder will be decommissioned. But based on the demand for the new SiteBuilder and the raving feedback we believe that it will only take a couple of months to get you all hooked up with the new tool.
So we have designed a special process that will allow you to get acquainted with the immense capabilities of the new SiteBuilder, and do the transition at your own pace, while your current site will remain fully functional. With this process you will be able to start gradually creating your new site, page by page, while your current school remains operational. Once you are ready, satisfied with a brand new and amazing design, you simply click a button and make the switch to the new era of your online business.
Above all, you should keep in mind that no data will be lost during the transition. Only your pages (site and course pages) will have to be rebuild using the more advanced features of the new SiteBuilder. Your users, user data, sales data, statistics, reports, etc. remain absolutely intact.

I have until December 2021 to do this, so what’s the hurry?
It’s 2020, the year of the unprecedented, the year that learning turned digital. Every page view counts, every click counts. You should make the switch as fast as possible to take advantage of the amazing new designs and features that come with the new SiteBuilder.
Your new site can unlock huge growth potential in the coming months. So waiting means you are leaving money on the table. As I said, innovation comes by leaps and bounds, and this is such a case. Right out of the gate you can already accomplish some amazing things with the new SiteBuilder, which were not possible with the old one.
While the old PageBuilder will be maintained with bug fixes and support will be offered, it will not get any new improvements. All our feature releases will be made available only on the new SiteBuilder. So you don’t want to miss out on the exciting goodies we have lined up for the next few months.
Here is a list of the new features we will deliver until the end of the year and which will only work on Schools that have switched to the new SiteBuilder:
All these will be delivered until the end of the year, and many, many more are planned for 2021. So we strongly suggest to start working on the transition today.

What took you guys so long?
Innovation takes times, and creating what is arguably the most advanced website builder in the industry doesn’t come fast or cheaply.
Our old, trusted PageBuilder supported the creation of tens of thousands of websites, in every niche imaginable, and supported tens of millions of web visitors and generated millions worth of course sales.
Thousands of course creators put their work, expertise, inspiration, imagination, and passion into building some of the most amazing websites we have ever seen. Even sweat, toil and tears. And we are grateful and proud for what has been accomplished.
However, from day one, we have meticulously recorded every click, every bug, every ticket, every complaint, every improvement proposal. We knew that we could do better and we owed this to all those creators who trust LearnWorlds and the more than a million students (and counting) that spend their precious money and time on our platform every given month. We owe them to make possible the most beautiful websites and the most amazing learner experiences.
So, for the one and a half years, our team has been researching, designing, brainstorming, measuring, developing, and exhaustively testing the new SiteBuilder. More than 15,000 of development have been invested, and we do not regret a single hour, if it will make your job a bit easier, if it will make your school just a tiny bit better, getting that extra sale. From day one, we have promised to ourselves and to you that LearnWorlds is always going to be the state-of-art e-learning platform that course sellers deserve. We might have been able to do it faster but we don’t think that we could have done it any better.
OK, I am convinced. How can I start working with this beauty?
Great! Let’s get to it! As of today, your LearnWorlds School is equipped with our brand new Site Builder with vastly improved design capabilities and hundreds of new templates. The new version also packs many smaller improvements such as a new, leaner navigation menu, as well as support for multiple payment gateways.
Rest assured that although your school was upgraded, we have kept all your pages and your school’s functionality intact. This is because we want you to be in control of the whole upgrade process.
You can take your time to prepare your new site and you can choose when to take advantage of the new features. Once you are ready to make the jump, with the click of a button, you can switch your existing online school to a better looking, faster, cleaner, more functional design. We are confident that once you get a taste of the new Site Builder you will never want to go back.
The only visible change, for now, is the addition of a new option (Manage Sites) under the admin menu.
