Ask HN: Developing an easy to use Coursera like website for my dad

3 pointsby acidityalmost 5 years ago
My father (based out of India) is a retired professional who wants to start an educational video site (e.g. KhanAcademy) but in specific subject (geared towards Accountants). He is what one would consider a non technical guy.<p>Initially, the website&#x2F;content would be free but maybe he wants to monetize it in future.<p>For a start, I setup an account at wordpress.com and even that interface is kind of intimidating. Sites like Netlify requires a Git based workflow which again is not something he is adapt at.<p>What other options do I have? I could but I dont really want to reinvent the wheel to build another custom CMS site for him.

YMMV but I’ve seen Teachable used well in cases like this. That should allow you to avoid reinventing the wheel.
