Amazing, but...

First off, please don't let my 3 tacos discourage you in any way, and by no means am I dissatisfied with purchasing, I can see loads of potential and will use this extensively, but I see the need for some clean-up on the development side of things as well as some items I think that should be integrated already.

From initial setup, to custom domain, to course publishing, and basically everything in between, everything is fast and easy, and hands down, just great! Creating courses from existing materials, such as Word, work almost perfectly, images that were inline with text had to be copied individually, but still came across. Minor issue, but not really even an issue. Being able to add Instructor/Course Author without the need for them to have an account is great.

Some of the items that are issues to me are as follows:
- With CNAME/Custom Domain enabled and working, the login link pushes customers to the OnlineCourseHost site, and does not utilize the CNAME/Custom Domain.
- Course header background color(s) should be customizable in color, and include categories and icons.
- All courses, even text only courses have "View preview lesson" and "Watch Free Course" buttons and play video symbols, when they should not, should be as simple as editing the course and disabling these, so only the course image shows. The links associated with these also kick the user to the OnlineCourseHost site for user login as opposed to your custom domain.
- Unable to completely hide/disable items such as coupons, newsletters, "Access on mobile and TV" options, even the "Join this Free Course", both individually and or globally.
- Needs the ability to customize CSS a bit more, for example, links, footer text color, etc.
- Every course ends up having Certificates, which can be useful, it would also be useful for non-certified course results. Certificates also lack the ability to customize text, positioning and other parts to provide a uniform or customized end result.
- Needs the ability to add users to groups to allow certain groups to see and use specific courses, while completely hiding courses from others.

I am in no way upset on this purchase in any manner though, and I look forward to seeing what else is coming as this has the potential to fill a huge void for what I've been needing. Keep it coming Vasco!

Just to clarify, you can choose a custom domain for your whole website, it's just the login page (that uses your brand) that will be on login.onlinecoursehost.com. The user gets there via redirect at login time, so it's hardly noticeable.

Also, logins to your course website are long-lived like in mobile apps, they don't expire.
