Fedjobs.ca: How We Built A Simple Mini Course Platform in Webflow

FedJobs.ca was a mini-course project I built with my wife, Marielle.

She brought public-sector experience and a process for preparing government job applications. We packaged that knowledge into a small course.

The course focused on helping learners prepare their applications.

The tools and course structure

I used Webflow for the pages and Memberstack for accounts and access. Wistia hosted the videos.

Zapier connected workflows, while Airtable organized support questions and user records.

We used static module pages because the course had a small scope. Each module included video, transcripts, resources, and templates.

The landing page introduced the modules and included a trailer. It also linked to login, downloads, and coaching bookings.

Membership and support

The original setup used one membership tier with a one-time fee. Coupons supported promotional pricing.

A support form included the member ID and module context. Airtable tracked questions for Marielle and me to resolve.

A browser-supplied member ID helps describe a request. A trusted service must verify identity before exposing private support records.

Define an achievable learner outcome

For your own course, choose a task the learner can complete. An illustrative outcome is producing a draft application checklist.

Connect every lesson and template to that task. Review the result with someone from your intended audience.

Early feedback helped us refine the original course. Feedback from target learners gives a stronger check than encouragement alone.

Test access and support

Use a test account with access, one without access, and a logged-out browser. Try direct module and download URLs.

Check access removal after a refund in a test billing setup. Keep video or file delivery protected when the content requires it.

Confirm a support submission reaches the correct private record. Test missing module context and a failed automation.

Webflow memberships with Memberstack explain the account setup before these checks.

Keep the first course small

Start with a landing page and one complete module. Include captions or transcripts and a working support path.

At the time, I planned to explore Google Ads promotion and future expansion.

Compare custom e-learning platforms before adding features your learners do not need.
