How to Start an eLearning Website Receive the Payments


Set up a Web hosting presence. The important factor with hosting an eLearning site is to find a web host that can host third-party software packages. As of August 2010, reputable web hosting of this variety is available for as little as $4 per month.
Select a content management system to run the eLearning site. There are many options available. Research the different choices while also considering how you will use the CMS package on the eLearning website before making a choice. You may also ask the Web host for recommendations based on the setup of the Web server.
Install and configure the content management system. On most Web hosts, this is as simple as opening the server's control panel, locating the name of CMS package and choosing to do a new install. A wizard-type interface will guide you through each step of the installation, including initial configuration options.
Create a payment-processing account. The CMS will use a payment-processing company to send customer payment data for processing. This allows website users to pay by credit card and other methods. Many small businesses choose to use Google or PayPal, but there are also many other alternatives available.
Develop the content. An eLearning site differs from other content-rich sites because of the educational nature of the content. The content of an eLearning site must be in a format that facilitates learning. Often, large eLearning companies use content-development specialists to create material tailored for online delivery. Inexperienced website developers may benefit by hiring a freelance content-development specialist to assist with this step.
Deploy the content onto the CMS. After the educational material is developed, it needs to be loaded onto the CMS into the secure area of the site. That will allow the CMS to both manage the content delivery and prevent unauthorized users from accessing the content.
Test the site prior to launch. All facets of the site, from payment processing to content accessibility, need thorough testing before the site is opened to the public. The site will be ready for launch when testing is completed.
