We have two guests in this episode of the LMScast podcast. Chris Badgett is joined by David Vogelpohl from WP Engine and Rachel Gogos from the brandiD and the Course Maker Pro theme. This episode dives into the technical aspect of building LMS websites, and how you can make that process easier by working with LifterLMS, WP Engine, and the Course Maker Pro theme.

There are five major aspects each course site needs to be successful. At LifterLMS we recognize these as the five hats course creators wear. Those roles include: technologist, entrepreneur, teacher, expert, and community builder. Most people can not fill all of those roles alone, so it is often wise to reach out to others to fill in the skills you may not have out of that list.

Hosting is one of the more complicated aspects of website building. David shares how WP Engine as a dedicated WordPress host is a great way to make hosting a breeze for your website. Chris and Rachel can attest to how great WP Engine has been for them in the past and how user friendly it has proven to be.

Community is a big part of the WordPress ecosystem. In this episode we have David from WP Engine hosting, Rachel who works with WP Engine and the Genesis framework to develop LMS sites for clients with the LifterLMS plugin developed by LifterLMS.
