Architecture
Architecture that supports long-term control and growth
The strength of any learning platform comes from the decisions made before a single line of code is written. Good architecture keeps teams aligned, reduces risk, and gives you confidence that the system will grow without slowing you down. Our approach focuses on clarity, maintainability, and long-term ownership so your platform works for you for years, not months.

Our architectural principles
Architecture shapes how your platform behaves under real pressure. We focus on practical decisions that keep things predictable later.
• Build only what delivers value
• Keep systems simple to maintain and extend
• Use patterns that your in-house developers understand
• Plan for both scale and change, not just launch day
These principles guide every technical decision so you always know why something is being done and what it means for the future of your platform.

How we avoid tech debt
Most LMS rebuilds come from avoidable decisions early on. We reduce that risk by creating clarity before development begins and by choosing the right level of customisation.
• Clear scope removes the guesswork that leads to brittle features
• Prioritised decisions prevent unnecessary complexity sneaking in
• Existing, proven tech is used where it makes sense, so you’re not paying to reinvent components your system doesn’t need custom
• Custom builds are reserved for the parts that genuinely set you apart

How we work with internal engineering teams
Many customers rely on us to run their LMS long term so their engineers can stay focused on the core product. But if your plan is to bring the LMS in-house later, we make that transition straightforward. Our Client Integration Services (CIS) give your developers direct access to ours during integration work and internalisation projects, backed by clear documentation and development-ready assets that are easy to work with.

Scalable from the start
Scaling an LMS is not just about servers and infrastructure. It’s about whether your workflows, data structures, and content models can grow without breaking.
We design with growth in mind so your platform handles more users, more content, and more business models without rebuilds or workarounds.
