Launching an online programming and IT school for children: website, platform, CRM, and automation

Budget: 1000 EUR Deadline: 10 days

The project includes the creation of a website and platform for an online programming and IT school for children, as well as the development of a custom CRM and process automation.

I recommend using WordPress for the website and platform, as it will ensure ease of management and content updates. For the CRM, Laravel can be considered, as it is most suitable for complex management systems. Process automation can also be effectively carried out with Laravel, which will allow integration into one system.

I work at a rate of $15/hour.

Budget: 4500 EUR Deadline: 35 days

In terms of timelines, an MVP for launching the first online groups usually takes 4-6 weeks. Regarding costs, I would estimate the working launch of the website, Bitrix24, LMS, application forms, payments, and basic automation to start from 4500 EUR. 25 EUR here might only be a symbolic budget for initial consultation, not for the system.

Yes, we have experience in educational and platform projects. We can cover the entire project - website, CRM, learning platform, applications, payments, team roles, schedule, and basic analytics. For platforms, I would not start with a custom-built system - first, I would check Moodle, GetCourse, or another LMS suitable for Germany, considering payments, language, taxes, and convenience for parents. Custom development makes sense when the model is already proven and scaling is needed without the limitations of someone else's platform.

I see the stages as follows:
> designing the funnel, roles, schedule, and payments
> selecting the LMS and integration scheme with Bitrix24
> website or landing page with courses and registration for a trial lesson
> CRM funnel for applications, students, payments, and communications
> launching the MVP and preparing for advertising

Look, there’s a nuance here - for an accurate estimate, we need 2 answers:
> what learning platforms are you already considering
> is payment needed as a one-time fee, monthly, or in packages of classes

Similar logical cases:
> https://business.ingello.com/platforma - corporate platform with roles and business processes
> https://business.ingello.com/forma-crm - CRM and management logic for processing applications and processes
> https://business.ingello.com/fractal - automation and agent architecture, indirectly useful for future scaling

Overall, it’s fine to go step by step - first architecture and MVP, then the student’s personal account, extended analytics, and deeper integrations =)

!!The main thing is not to treat this as just a website - the school will quickly run into chaos with applications, schedules, and payments!! Expand

Budget: 7700 EUR Deadline: 30 days

I can help launch an online direction for an IT school not as a separate website, but as a working MVP system: website structure, applications for trial classes, Bitrix24, CRM funnel, LMS logic, schedule, payments, access to materials, and preparation for the first advertising campaign.

Is it important for you to first establish the architecture of the MVP — website → application → trial class → payment → group → materials → communication with parents, so as not to gather a set of disparate services that will be difficult to scale later?

Deadlines, costs, platforms, and implementation stages will be discussed in personal correspondence after clarifying the courses, languages, number of groups, format of classes, Bitrix24, LMS requirements, payments in Germany, domain, materials, sales team, and what should be included in the first working version.

Budget: 180 EUR Deadline: 3 days

▎ Good afternoon! ▎ ▎ You already have the main things — brand, methodology, courses, first groups, and domain. What’s missing is the technical framework "application → trial → payment → access → retention" that can handle growth from a few groups to hundreds of students without rework. That’s what I’m assembling. ▎ ▎ Honestly regarding your questions: ▎ • Experience: I have launched websites + CRM integrations (Bitrix24, forms, funnels) + automation (webhooks, n8n, connections payment system↔CRM↔access to materials). I don’t claim a complete case of "turnkey online school" — I value your time and speak as it is; however, I am confidently assembling the technical foundation for scaling. ▎ • Website + CRM + LMS together — yes, as a unified system, not three pieces that don’t work together later. ▎ • Platforms: Bitrix24 (EU data center) as the CRM core; landing page on WordPress on your domain; LMS — a choice between ready-made SaaS (quick start) and self-hosted (control) based on your budget and growth plan — I will justify with numbers, not preferences. ▎ • Payments for Germany: I will set it up through a merchant-of-record solution (German accounts, VAT, right of withdrawal/cancellation, SEPA+PayPal) — so you won’t have to deal with accounting and legal issues. ▎ ▎ Stages (phased launch, as you want): ▎ 1. Consultation + Technical Specification and architecture (we fix the scheme and platforms) — a separate small stage, so you can assess the approach without risk. ▎ 2. Landing page + application forms in Bitrix24 + registration for the trial. ▎ 3. CRM structure (parent+child, funnel "trial→payment") + automation. ▎ 4. LMS + granting access to materials. ▎ 5. Preparation for the advertising campaign. ▎ ▎ MVP (items 1–3, you can start collecting applications and registering for trials) — approximately 2–3 weeks. Full launch with LMS and automation — 4–6 weeks. ▎ ▎ I work through Safe, in stages — safe for you. I suggest starting with stage 1 (consultation + Technical Specification): on it, you will receive a ready architecture and an exact estimate for the remaining stages, and you will decide whether to proceed. ▎ ▎ Cost: stage 1 (consultation + architecture + Technical Specification) — 120–180 EUR. MVP (items 1–3) — 900–1400 EUR. Full launch — we will discuss based on the Technical Specification. MVP timeframe: 2–3 weeks.

Budget: 250 EUR Deadline: 18 days

Good day! I have assembled such turnkey solutions — website + Bitrix24 (applications and funnel) + LMS + payment, so I can take everything together, rather than in separate pieces.

I wouldn't build a large system right away. For a school in Germany, a landing page on WordPress with forms directly in Bitrix24, payment through Stripe, and for lessons and access to materials — GetCourse or Moodle, if you want your own without a monthly fee, usually works well. What’s better depends on whether you need auto-reminders for the trial and installment payments.

An MVP (landing page + applications in CRM + payment for the trial + basic student database) can realistically be set up in about two weeks, and then we can develop the LMS and automation further.

I would start with a short consultation and a technical specification so you can see the architecture and stages before making large investments. Please let me know if you need your own LMS or if a ready-made service is okay, and how many courses you plan to start with?

Budget: 2500 EUR Deadline: 30 days

We already have a nearly ready solution for online schools that can be quickly adapted to your courses. Let's discuss it right here, I'm available =)
We have experience with educational and platform systems - website, CRM, LMS, payments, schedules, roles, applications, and team automation.
For MVP platforms, I would suggest WordPress plus LearnDash or Moodle, Bitrix24 as CRM, and Stripe or PayPal for payments in Germany.
If you need to move faster, we can start with a landing page, Bitrix24 forms, a basic LMS, and manual payment confirmations, and then expand to personal accounts and analytics.
We can create the website, CRM, and LMS together, not as separate pieces.
For MVP timelines - approximately 3-5 weeks.
For MVP costs - starting from 2500 EUR, while a full launch with payments, analytics, and deeper automation usually approaches 4500-7500 EUR.
25 EUR for developing the entire system is not a workable budget, but as a first small step, we can conduct an audit and launch structure.
Work stages - brief design, funnel prototype, website and forms, Bitrix24, LMS, payments, tests, ad launch.
From AI, we can add an assistant for managers and parents - it will suggest courses, answer common questions, and remind about trial classes.
Regarding similar projects:
- https://business.ingello.com/platforma - similar in platform logic with roles, processes, and scalability
- https://business.ingello.com/forma-crm - similar in CRM, applications, and process management
- https://business.ingello.com/fractal - similar in automation and AI aspects
Our profile on FLH - https://systems-fl.ingello.com
I would like to clarify two things:
- What platforms are you already considering for LMS?
- Do you need payments through Stripe or PayPal, or is it sufficient at the first stage to have applications and manual invoicing?
I'm available here, we can keep it simple and organize a working launch in stages. Expand

Good day! I noticed your project for launching an online school in Germany. As a marketer and CEO of the IT company Coderfy, I understand that you need not just a "website," but a functioning business system: a complete funnel from clicking on an ad to recording the student's LTV in the CRM. We are ready to fully handle this project turn-key — from architecture and linking LMS/CRM to technical readiness for the first advertising campaign.

To be honest, we do not have a ready case specifically in the niche of children's online education. However, we have extensive experience in developing complex corporate systems, custom platforms, fintech projects, and end-to-end automation of business processes. It will not be difficult for us to connect the architecture, set up the logic, and automate the funnel.

Recommended stack to start:
Website/Landing: WordPress. This will provide clean code, ideal loading speed, and flexibility for marketing.
CRM: We will configure your Bitrix24 to the specifics of the school: sales funnels, cards for parents/students, auto-capture of applications from forms, and payment control.

LMS platform: To start in the German market, we will select flexible and reliable existing solutions. We will configure the architecture to strictly comply with European GDPR requirements (protection of personal data and payments).

How we will complete the project turn-key in stages (MVP in 4–6 weeks):
Marketing analysis and technical specifications (1 week): We will design the funnel "Click → Application → Trial Lesson → Payment." We will outline the logic of linking Website + LMS + CRM Bitrix24.

UI/UX Design and Content (1–2 weeks): We will create a modern, trustworthy website design with a clear description of courses for the European audience.

Technical assembly and Integrations (2 weeks): Layout, basic LMS setup, end-to-end integration with Bitrix24, and connection of European payment systems (Stripe/PayPal).

Automation and Preparation for advertising (1 week): Setting up pixels (Meta, Google), analytics systems (GA4), and trigger notifications for parents.

Since our team includes strong developers, a designer, a tester, and myself as a marketer, we will fully cover all technical and packaging processes.

Message me privately to discuss the details (for example, how you plan to conduct lessons — via Zoom/Meet or within the LMS), and I will prepare a transparent estimate for you by stages. Expand

Budget: 2500 EUR Deadline: 30 days

Hello. I am a marketer and I am currently working on packaging and lead generation in the education sector. I have my own team, so we can handle everything turnkey. From product packaging and funnels to automation in CRM and building a lead generation and sales system. Regarding CRM, I would not recommend Bitrix24. You have a school in Germany. There are many LMS options, it depends on what kind of scaling you have in mind - just for Germany, or do you want to expand to other countries and markets?

If you are interested, please write to me in private messages.

Budget: 200 EUR Deadline: 2 days

Hello. I have studied and provided recommendations for online educational schools and English language courses in Ukraine. Websites for clients and lead generation, working educational platforms for teachers and students, communication and notification systems. Initially, you need a general consultation, as you do not have a platform and the educational resource is unknown.

Budget: 25 EUR Deadline: 1 day

Hello, Eugen Merger! Feel free to reach out, I will offer to create an LMS environment for an online school. I will provide consultation and some instructions on administering the Moodle web application. However, the CRM will need to be integrated with the LMS. So, I am talking about the LMS because it is the foundation: program, progress, assessment.
The project for launching an online school is not a one-time freelance action, so I suggest dividing it into stages. Please contact me privately.
And it would be best to create a one-hour consultation through a safe platform about LMS Moodle, at a minimal price. You will get a general structural vision.
________
I have LMS training environments, both personal and in educational institutions.
I can provide personal ones during the consultation, using screen recording. The language is Ukrainian/Russian.

Hello!

Your project is interesting because it involves not just a website or LMS, but the construction of a full-fledged online school system with the possibility of further scaling. I believe this approach is correct, as it is better to lay the architecture from the start for the growth of the number of students and groups.

In response to your questions:

1. Do you have experience launching educational platforms?

Yes, I have worked with educational projects, CRM systems, process automation, training platforms, user personal accounts, payment system integrations, and automation through APIs.

2. What platforms do you recommend?

For MVP, I would recommend not developing an LMS from scratch, but using a ready-made solution:

• Moodle — the most flexible and scalable LMS;
• WordPress + LearnDash/Tutor LMS — faster launch and easier administration;
• Bitrix24 — for CRM, processing applications, funnels, and communication;
• Zoom/Google Meet for classes at the initial stage.

This approach will allow you to quickly enter the market and avoid unnecessary costs at the start.

3. Can you create a website, CRM, and LMS together?

Yes.

I can help with:
• designing the architecture;
• creating a website/landing page;
• setting up CRM Bitrix24;
• selecting and configuring LMS;
• integrations between systems;
• automating applications and communications;
• preparing the technical base for advertising and scaling.

4. Proposed stages of work

Stage 1:
Analysis of business processes and preparation of technical specifications.

Stage 2:
Designing the sales funnel and structure of the online school.

Stage 3:
Developing the website and connecting Bitrix24.

Stage 4:
Setting up the LMS and course structure.

Stage 5:
Automating applications, trial lessons, payments, and communications.

Stage 6:
Preparing the system for launching advertising campaigns.

5. Timeline for launching MVP

Approximately 2–4 weeks depending on the chosen LMS and the volume of automations.

6. Cost

For an accurate estimate, it is necessary to clarify the details; however, the launch of an MVP for such a project usually falls within the range of 1000–3000+ USD depending on the scope of work and level of automation.

7. What I would recommend at the start

Do not complicate the system with custom developments, but assemble the MVP from proven solutions:
• website;
• Bitrix24;
• LMS;
• payment system;
• notification automation.

This will allow you to quickly launch the first advertising campaigns and start attracting students, and then scale the system as the school grows.

I am ready to discuss the project details and propose the optimal architecture for your goals and budget. Expand

Budget: 25 EUR Deadline: 5 days

Hello, Eugen!

Your offline school already has a proven product, methodology, and the first online groups. Now, a reliable technical framework is needed for scaling online without routine. For the German market, it is critically important to consider the requirements of European data protection legislation (GDPR) and to integrate familiar payment methods (Stripe, PayPal).

To ensure a predictable launch, I suggest dividing the project into clear modules:

== Stage 1: Consultation, Design, and Technical Specification (Initial MVP)

* Result: You will receive a ready interactive customer journey map (from clicking on the ad to automatic access to the account) and a detailed technical specification.
* Platform selection: Choosing the optimal LMS (Moodle, European SaaS) and architecture for integration with Bitrix24.
* Timeline and cost: 3–5 days, 25 EUR (to secure the start on the platform).

== Subsequent Implementation Stages (Step-by-Step Scaling):

1. Landing page and lead generation: website structure, integration of responsive Bitrix24 forms. Each application for a trial lesson instantly goes into the CRM without losing leads.
2. Bitrix24 setup: sales funnel, student accounting, class schedule. Managers see the child's status and group occupancy in one window.
3. LMS deployment: Student and teacher accounts, progress tracking, and material distribution without involving an administrator.
4. Automation and payments: Linking CRM and LMS via API/webhooks. Full automatic cycle: payment (Stripe) -> auto-creation of account -> sending access to parents.

== Why this architecture will work for scaling:

* No data duplication: information is synchronized automatically. Managers sell, teachers teach, routine is automated.
* Flexibility: The modular approach allows for easy addition of elements later (e.g., WhatsApp reminders about lessons) without restructuring the entire system.
* Readiness for advertising: In the end, you will have a fully tested system where every conversion is tracked, ensuring transparent analytics for the first advertising campaign.

The complete launch of the MVP turnkey will take 3 to 5 weeks after the technical specification is finalized. The implementation budget is calculated separately for each module, giving you full control over investments. Expand

Budget: 300 EUR Deadline: 20 days

I can join the launch of the online school step by step.

I have experience with websites, WordPress, application forms, CRM logic, integrations, and project structure. For such a launch, I would not start immediately with a large system, but first create an MVP: website/landing page, applications in Bitrix24, a simple course structure, registration for a trial lesson, and a basic scheme for working with students.

For platforms, I would suggest comparing 2 options:
WordPress + LMS plugin, if control and having your own site are needed;
a ready-made LMS platform, if it is more important to launch quickly and not spend time on development from scratch.

Stages:

short audit and structure;
website/landing page;
forms and Bitrix24;
LMS and access to materials;
basic automation of applications and payments.

Budget guideline: from 20,000 UAH, more accurately after choosing the platform and scope.

I will send examples of my work in private messages. Expand

Hello!

You need an architect, not a "website": you already have a brand, methodology, courses, initial groups, and a domain — what’s missing is the layer "application → trial → payment → access → retention". I am assembling this, taking into account German requirements, which are usually stumbling blocks.

Architecture (lean-MVP, scaling in layers):

Bitrix24 (.de, data in Frankfurt) — CRM core: forms, "parent+child" linkage, "trial→payment" funnel, automation, WhatsApp/email/telephony.
elopage (merchant-of-record) — German compliant invoices, VAT/§19, PayPal + SEPA + card, mandatory Kündigung/Widerruf buttons "out of the box".
WordPress landing on EU hosting, on your domain.
Zoom (EU) for live classes, materials — elopage/Classroom. A full LMS will be consciously set up later, as a layer — without migration.
Make.com connects: form→lead, payment→access+welcome.
Responses:

Experience. I haven’t launched a "turnkey" school — honestly. But I have built all its parts: CRM automation (forms→CRM→payment→access, webhooks), landing pages and e-commerce (including with a child audience), bots, and integrations. Phase 1 is small and fixed — judge by the result.
Platforms. Bitrix24 + elopage + WordPress + Zoom EU. The fastest and cleanest DSGVO-compliant path to the first advertisement; scaling without rework.
Website+CRM+LMS. I do everything with one contractor (LMS — in the growth stage). Plus — a unified architecture without losses at the interfaces.
Stages: 0) consultation+specifications; 1) landing+legal pages; 2) Bitrix24/funnel; 3) payment+materials; 4) automation; 5) preparation for advertising; 6) scaling (LMS, dashboards).
MVP: 3–5 weeks to the first advertising campaign.
Cost (EUR, by stages): Phase 1 ~€2,500–5,000; subsequent layers ~€3,000–6,000; pay for a layer when the previous one has earned. Tools ~€150–350/month.
Examples: related works (children's e-commerce, CRM/bots with webhooks) — the same "bricks" of your funnel; screenshots in correspondence.
I will take German requirements into account immediately: DSGVO for children (parent — party to the contract), Widerruf/Kündigung buttons (otherwise Abmahnung), Impressum/Datenschutz/AGB, cookie consent, payment SEPA+PayPal.

I will send the complete phased architecture and estimate in correspondence. I suggest starting with Phase 0 (consultation + specifications). Expand
