Statement of Purpose
Create a membership site that provides access to learning materials for a fee. You’ll learn how to set up a site that sells several training courses that a member can purchase and then have access to. Course materials will have video, text and audio components. Membership on the site will also grant access to a forum. Finally, the course materials will be viewable in mobile versions as well.
