WizzyLab

WizzyLab is an online school builder for course creators, trainers and companies who want to sell video courses from their own site. Its homepage, written in Ukrainian with Russian, Polish and English versions in the language menu, describes it as a "конструктор онлайн шкіл" (online school builder) that lets you create a school in 5 minutes and start selling video courses, trainings, automated webinars, files and PDF books. It covers the whole chain: a course site with a catalog, a course editor, a closed student area, payments, a blog and a CRM for students and sales. It can also sit inside a site you already run, as a widget on WordPress, Joomla or Wix, or as an academy on your own subdomain.

Who it is for

The homepage names six kinds of user. People selling their first course can register, upload content and start selling. Online schools and education projects get a school with courses, a blog and webinars, and manage content, students and access in one place. Marketing and product teams can attract leads with free or paid courses about their product, using them to explain what the service is worth, show its features and shorten the customer's path to a purchase. Experts, trainers and course authors run their own programs without technical hurdles, teaching more people in less time through video lessons, mini-webinars and live sessions. Corporate training and HR teams get an online academy for training, onboarding and internal expertise. Websites and SaaS platforms build an academy for their product to train users and open a new channel for acquiring customers.

Building a course

Courses are built from lessons and modules in a visual editor, and a lesson can hold video, audio, tests, homework and other material. Video hosting is built in: videos upload straight to the platform, with storage, access and playback included. WizzyLab supports SCORM and HTML5 content, which it pitches at corporate and professional training. Tests check knowledge and track progress, homework can be attached to lessons and courses so the creator can review students' work and give feedback, and certificates are issued automatically after a student passes the course and can be downloaded at once. Drip access opens lessons on a schedule or after the student completes the previous ones.

Students study in a learning mode that shows only what they have bought, with basic protection of the video against copying and the option to download bonus materials. Access opens automatically after payment, or the creator can grant it by hand. Courses work on phones, tablets and computers without a separate app, and the homepage says there are no limits on the number of courses or students.

Four ways to publish

The examples section describes four setups.

• A site on WizzyLab. The platform hosts your main site with a catalog of courses and books, a blog, and automatic access after purchase. The homepage says a full online school site can be built in less than 30 minutes, with automatic mini landing pages for each course.
• A password-protected area. WizzyLab works only as the closed student area, for example when payment runs on an outside landing page; after registering, each user sees only the courses open to them.
• An academy for your own site or SaaS product, tied to your own subdomain such as academy.mysite.com, so it looks like an extra section of your main site.
• A course shop on your blog. Owners of WordPress, Joomla or Wix blogs embed the catalog widget into their theme, and the header and footer load from their own site while the course catalog loads from WizzyLab.

The same widget puts courses, prices and buy buttons on any landing page, product page or blog post, and WizzyLab can also set up a shop on a Facebook page, where customers browse the courses in the Shop section and buy them there. One catalog feeds every channel.

Selling and running the school

Payments for courses go to the creator's own account. The homepage lists bank cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and payment on credit, and elsewhere names Visa, Mastercard and PayPal, adding that PayPal lets a creator take and withdraw payments from buyers in any country. Besides courses, creators can take payment for events, webinars and online consultations. Courses can be paid or free, with demo access as an option, and promo codes and discounts support launches, sales and partner programs.

The CRM brings courses, students, payments, access, team roles and analytics into one panel. Creators can add managers and team members and assign roles for working with courses and students. Analytics cover student success, payments, courses and certificates. A built-in blog with a publishing scheduler draws traffic, and integrations with outside services add mailings, feedback collection, comments and analytics. A site can run on the creator's own domain or on a subdomain of the platform.

Price and support

The homepage invites new users with "Спробуйте безкоштовно протягом 28 днів" (try it at no cost for 28 days), and registration needs no complex setup: the page says work can start right after signing up. The homepage's comparison of building a school from separate tools against the WizzyLab route gives the WizzyLab path as 16 $ a month. The same page also describes a pay-as-you-go option: you pay only when you sell courses, with no fixed payments and no risk at the start. A separate pricing page sits in the menu.

Support resources in the footer include a knowledge base, an idea board for feature suggestions, a contact form and an online demo, and the footer also links to a refund guarantee, a privacy policy and a user agreement. The footer also links to the company's Facebook and Twitter pages.

Who it suits

WizzyLab fits a creator or small school, especially one working in Ukrainian or Russian, who wants a course catalog with payments and student access without building it on WordPress, and a blogger who wants to sell courses from an existing WordPress, Joomla or Wix site without moving it. SCORM support and team roles make it usable for a company onboarding staff or a SaaS business training its users. The 28 days of free use and the pay-as-you-go option keep the cost of trying it low.

The caveat is the price picture: the homepage shows a monthly figure on one hand and a pay-as-you-go model on the other, so a creator weighing the two should read the pricing page before launching.
