Lots of potential, but needs work

I have been building courses for online deployment for nearly 2 decades and I've seen lots of LMS implementations. Go4Clic is the first LTD for an LMS I've purchased on AppSumo.

The reason I have not purchased others is that they seem focused on everything but the learner experience. Other LMSs have pushed marketing and sales features as their "selling points" and that has never sat well with me. Go4Clic is refreshing in that regard - the bones are there for a great learning platform first and foremost.

That said, the site is fraught with bad grammatical instructions, and unfortunately this carries over into the student-facing interface. ("See Anwsers"). So, this needs to get fixed before it's ready for Prime Time.

I also have concerns about Accessibility with the platform. I did not run the site through a legitimate A11y check, but I can tell you that one cannot navigate a course using only the keyboard. There are no visual cues for focus. Accessibility considerations should be a high priority for any website, but in learning, it is critical that all users be able to interact with your content.

What I was really interested to see is the quiz engine. I realize that this is on the Roadmap to be expanded out (it only offers Multiple Choice, at present), so looking forward to that.

Overall, I'm impressed, but I won't be launching anything on the platform until these items are addressed. I'm strapped in for the future, so let's see where this goes.

Hi Gunderstorm
I am especially grateful for your review, for many reasons:

1) That with your experience, go4clic has been your first purchase in AppSumo because you value that we have the focus on providing an amazing experience for the student → Our main objective has been fulfilled!

3) We are obliged to review all translations of our app with a native English professional, thank you for mentioning it (Is happening right now)

2) Putting accessibility as a priority is in our DNA but we had not seen it as a priority until you said it! I thank you for that!

Really thank you
