Custom eLearning websites and Learning Management Systems for organisations across Ireland

Your Learners Are Online, Your Training Should Be Too

Whether you’re a training provider, a business looking to upskill your team, or an entrepreneur with knowledge to share, the right eLearning platform can transform the way you deliver learning.

The way people learn has changed permanently. Whether it’s employees completing compliance training, professionals developing new skills, or customers learning how to get the most from your products, online learning is now the expected standard, not the exception.

For businesses and training providers across Ireland, this represents a significant opportunity. A well-built eLearning platform lets you deliver consistent, high-quality training at scale without the cost and logistical challenges of in-person delivery. It lets you reach learners anywhere, at any time, on any device. And it gives you measurable data on learner progress and engagement that simply isn’t possible with traditional training methods.

We’ve been building eLearning websites and online learning platforms for Irish organisations for over 20 years. We understand the technology and the practical challenges of moving learning online.

Everything You Need to Deliver Learning Online

Custom eLearning Website Design

A purpose-built eLearning website designed around your brand, your learners and your content. Whether you need a simple course catalogue with enrolment functionality, or a fully featured online learning hub with multiple course tracks, assessments and certifications. We design and build it from the ground up to meet your exact requirements.

Learning Management System (LMS) Development

An LMS is the engine that powers your online learning platform. It manages your course content, tracks learner progress, handles enrolments and payments, issues certificates and provides the reporting data you need to measure the effectiveness of your training.

Online Course Creation & Setup

Have great content but not sure how to structure it for online delivery? We help you translate your existing training materials like presentations, videos, documents and assessments into engaging, well-structured online courses that learners will actually complete. We advise on content structure, learning pathways, assessment design and course completion criteria.

Corporate Training Platforms

For businesses looking to deliver internal training like onboarding, compliance, health and safety, product knowledge or professional development, we’re here to help. We build secure, branded corporate learning platforms that integrate with your existing HR and business systems.

Course Selling & Monetisation

If you’re looking to sell your courses online, we build platforms with full eCommerce functionality. This includes course enrolments, subscription models, discount codes, payment processing and automated delivery. We can also integrate your eLearning platform with email marketing tools to help you grow your audience and maximise course sales.

Powerful Features That Make Learning Stick

Every eLearning platform we build is equipped with the features your learners and administrators actually need. Here’s what we can include as standard or build to your specific requirements:

Learning & Assessment Tools

Quizzes and assignments, interactive assessments, webinars and video conferencing, forums and message boards, surveys and polls, and automated certificate generation. Everything your learners need to engage with your content and demonstrate their progress.

User & Community Management

User role management, learner profiles and directories, private messaging, community calendars, group management and online community tools.

Reporting & Analytics

Custom report builder, performance analytics, learner progress tracking, transcript generation, and credits and hours recording. Get instant access to the data you need to measure the effectiveness of your training programmes.

Communication & Marketing Tools

Branded email templates, internal messaging, coupons and promotional offers, email marketing integration, and event listings. Keep your learners engaged before, during and after their training.

Technical & Security Features

Custom domain setup, SCORM compatibility, GDPR-friendly data management, industry-leading security, safe online payment processing, and seamless integration with existing software including Stripe, WorldPay and Salesforce.

eLearning Solutions for Every Type of Organisation

The best eLearning platforms are the ones built with a specific purpose in mind.

Here are the most common ways we help organisations across Ireland use online learning to grow:

Employee Onboarding

Make it easier and more consistent to bring new team members up to speed with personalised learning paths and structured induction programmes. Get new hires up to speed without taking up your senior team’s time.

Compliance Training

Deliver mandatory compliance, health and safety, and regulatory training at scale with full tracking and reporting to prove completion. No more chasing employees for certificates or managing paper records.

Employee Development

Build a workforce that’s ready to deliver excellent customer service and adapt to change through structured, ongoing development programmes that employees can complete in their own time.

Sales Training

Give your sales team everything they need to know about your products and services in one place. Onboard new salespeople faster, keep everyone up to date, and track knowledge retention

Customer Training

Use online courses to help your customers get more value from your products and services reducing support queries and building stronger, longer-lasting relationships.

Franchisee & Partner Training

Maintain consistent standards across multiple locations or partner organisations without the cost and complexity of in-person delivery. Deliver branded, structured training to your entire network from a single platform.

Member Training & CPD

Deliver continuing professional development and member education programmes online making it easy for members to access training wherever they are and track their CPD hours automatically.

Online Course Selling

Package your expertise as online courses and sell them to a global audience  creating a scalable revenue stream that works even while you’re asleep.

The Right eLearning Platform for Your Needs

Choosing the right LMS platform is one of the most important decisions in any eLearning project. We work with the leading platforms and will always recommend the best fit for your organisation’s size, budget and goals.

LearnRight

For Irish businesses that want a fully hosted, managed eLearning platform with dedicated Irish support, we recommend LearnRight. Purpose-built for corporate training, LearnRight is particularly well-suited to businesses that want to get up and running quickly — covering everything from franchise and partner training to employee onboarding and compliance — without the technical setup involved in self-hosted platforms. A strong choice for Irish SMEs looking for a polished, ready-to-go solution.

LearnDash

LearnDash is a powerful LMS plugin for WordPress, making it ideal for businesses that already have a WordPress website or want a platform that’s easy to manage and extend. It integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce for course selling and is our most commonly recommended platform for SMEs and individual course creators.

Moodle

Moodle is the world’s most widely used open-source LMS and is particularly popular with educational institutions, training providers and larger organisations. It’s highly flexible, extensively customisable, and has no ongoing licensing fees. We have extensive experience building and customising Moodle installations for Irish organisations.

Custom LMS Solutions

For organisations with very specific requirements that off-the-shelf platforms can’t meet, we also build fully bespoke LMS solutions tailored exactly to your needs — without the constraints of an existing system.

Waterford’s eLearning Development Team

We’ve been building websites and digital platforms for organisations across Waterford, Kilkenny, Wexford and Tipperary for over 20 years. Our experience spans every sector. From healthcare and professional services to retail, hospitality and education, we bring that breadth of knowledge to every eLearning project we take on.

We’re not a specialist eLearning agency that only understands technology either. We’re a full-service digital agency that understands business, which means we build platforms that work in the real world, not just in theory.

How We Build Your eLearning Platform

Getting started with AI doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s how we work:
1

Discovery & Assessment

We start by understanding your organisation, your learners, your content and your goals. We’ll ask the right questions to make sure the platform we build is exactly what you need — not an overcomplicated system with features you’ll never use.
2

Platform Recommendation

Based on your requirements, learner numbers and budget, we’ll recommend the most suitable LMS platform like LearnRight or even a custom solution, and explain clearly why. We’ll always give you a fixed price before any work begins.
3

Design & Branding

We design your eLearning platform to reflect your brand including colours, typography, imagery and tone of voice. Your learners should feel like they’re on your platform, not a generic LMS.
4

Development & Course Setup

We build and configure your platform, set up your course structure, and upload and format your content. We handle all the technical complexity so you don’t have to.
5

Testing

We test the full learner journey including enrolment, course navigation, assessments, certificates and completion tracking on every device before launch.
6

Training & Ongoing Support

Your team will be trained on how to manage the platform, add new courses, monitor learner progress and pull reports. You’ll also receive ongoing technical support, platform updates and development as your eLearning offering grows and evolves.
