How to Effortlessly Create a Course Website in WordPress Without WooCommerce or Complexity

Creating and selling online courses with WordPress generally involves complicated setups, especially when you have to integrate heavy plugins like WooCommerce. But what if you could skip these and still get a clean, scalable, and powerful LMS? In this guide, we’ll show you how to build a complete course website in WordPress without WooCommerce using Acadlix. Acadlix is a modern LMS plugin with an advanced examination engine designed for speed, simplicity, and educators who want results.

Why Avoid WooCommerce for an LMS?

WooCommerce is a great tool for eCommerce with a lot of features and add-ons, but when it comes to e-learning, it’s not designed for educational platforms. Here’s why you may want to skip it:

Slower performance: WooCommerce loads many unnecessary scripts & styles, and that leads to slower performance. When you use it on a shared hosting, you may often encounter resource limit reached or error connecting to the database issues.

Too many dependencies: You often need several plugins to fulfill your requirements, and that creates bloat.

Complex checkout flow: Site owners want a simple checkout flow, and many time,s a one-page checkout works well for the paid courses and direct access to the free courses for logged-in users.
