An E-Learning Platform You Own, Not One You Rent
Video lessons, quizzes, certificates and subscriptions on your own domain and your own app store listings, with nobody taking a cut of each enrollment.
Run the numbers on your last hundred course sales. If they went through a marketplace, the platform kept a painful share and kept the student relationship too. If they went through a course-platform SaaS, the monthly fee grows with your success and you still walk away with nothing if you leave. We build e-learning platforms that belong to you: a web platform plus iOS and Android apps, with video lessons, quizzes, certificates, subscriptions and protected content. Web Pioneer has built software from Cairo since 2014, delivering remotely to course creators, academies and training companies across Saudi Arabia, the UAE and beyond.
Your margin stays yours
One project cost, then every enrollment is 100% your revenue. No commission per sale, no per-student SaaS fee climbing as you grow.
Honest content protection
No vendor can make video theft impossible, and we will not pretend otherwise. We make sharing inconvenient and every account traceable, which is what actually keeps paying students paying.
Arabic and English, both first-class
Bilingual builds with proper RTL are what we have done for years, not an afterthought. Course player, certificates and admin panel all render correctly in both directions.
Gulf schedule, Cairo build
Cairo sits one time zone away from Riyadh and Dubai, so calls land inside your working hours. A staging link goes up early, with weekly builds installed on your own phone.
What Your Platform Ships With
Protected video delivery
Lessons stream through expiring signed URLs instead of raw downloadable files, with device limits per account and the student's name or phone watermarked over playback. A leaked video points back to a specific account.
Quizzes and assignments
Timed quizzes, question banks, pass marks that gate the next lesson, and assignment uploads your instructors grade from the dashboard. We agree the grading rules in the written scope before we build them.
Certificates with verification
Auto-generated PDF certificates in Arabic or English on course completion, each with a unique code and a public verification page, so employers can confirm a certificate is real.
Subscriptions and Gulf payments
One-time purchases, bundles or monthly subscriptions, charged through gateways your students already trust: mada, Apple Pay, Tap, PayTabs or Tamara installments where it fits the price point.
Student apps for iOS and Android
Native-feeling apps published under your own developer accounts, with progress sync between phone and web. You review each weekly build on your own device before we move on.
Admin and instructor dashboard
Enrollment numbers, watch-time per lesson, quiz failure rates and revenue in one panel, plus roles for instructors who should see their courses and nothing else.
What a Course Platform Costs
| Scope | Price range | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Course platform MVP (web, core lessons + payments) | $3,000 - 4,500 | typically 8-12 weeks |
| Web platform + iOS and Android student apps | $4,500 - 8,000 | typically 12-16 weeks |
| Advanced platform (live classes, real-time features) | from $8,000 | 16+ weeks |
Payment is split into stages, and each stage is invoiced only after you have tested the matching deliverable on the staging link. Compare these figures against two years of SaaS fees plus marketplace commission on your current volume; for most working academies the build pays for itself faster than expected, and it typically lands 30-50% under what a Gulf agency would quote for the same scope.
How We Build It
- Course walkthrough: we go through your courses, pricing model and protection expectations honestly; an NDA is signed before you hand over any unpublished course material.
- Everything in writing: you receive a document listing every screen and rule with acceptance criteria, so 'quiz gating works' means something both sides can test, not argue about.
- Staged build: the platform grows on a private staging link you can open any day, and app builds land on your phone weekly so surprises surface in week three, not week thirteen.
- Content load and launch: we help migrate your existing videos and student lists, submit the apps under your own store accounts, and handle review rejections until both are live.
- Handover: once the final invoice clears, the contract puts the code, the designs, both store listings and the app signing keys fully in your name, with a warranty window for defects after launch.
Frequently asked questions
Can you completely stop students from sharing my videos?
No, and any company promising that is not being straight with you. Screen recording on a second device defeats every system ever built, including the biggest streaming platforms. What works in practice is friction plus traceability: signed expiring links, per-account device limits, and the student's identity watermarked on playback, so leaks are rare and attributable.
Why not just use a marketplace or a course SaaS?
Both are fine for testing whether a course sells. They stop making sense once you have steady volume, because commission and subscription fees scale with your revenue while your brand equity builds on someone else's domain. An owned platform is a one-time cost that turns those recurring fees back into margin.
We are in Saudi Arabia. How does working with a Cairo team go?
Remotely, and on your clock, since the time difference is a single hour. You get scheduled calls, a staging link from early in the project, and weekly app builds on your own phone, which most clients find more visibility than they had with a local vendor sitting one district away.
Who owns the platform when the project ends?
You do, and it is written into the agreement rather than implied. On completion of payment the source code, designs, developer accounts and the keys used to sign the apps all move into your ownership, so a future team can take over without our permission or presence.
Can we launch web-only first and add the apps later?
Yes, and it is often the sensible order. A web MVP in the $3,000 - 4,500 range proves your enrollment flow and pricing, and because we plan the backend for mobile from day one, adding iOS and Android later is an extension, not a rebuild.
