Use Case · Course Platform with Team Licenses

A custom AI course platform built entirely in Bricks

KIMasterkey is a real online course platform built on Bricks and BricksMembers. Bricks shapes everything members see; BricksMembers powers the logic underneath: protected access, progress, native Stripe checkout, team licenses, invitations and onboarding. No WooCommerce cart, no rigid LMS theme.

The trade-off How it's built Outcomes Breakdown Use cases

The trade-off

Most membership plugins make you choose. This one does not.

Course creators usually pick between a design they control and the membership features they need. KIMasterkey keeps both.

The usual way

A plugin decides how your site looks

Rigid LMS templates that never match the brand

A bolted-on WooCommerce cart for checkout

Team licenses and onboarding you cannot shape

Shortcodes and workarounds instead of real Bricks elements

With Bricks + BricksMembers

You design it. BricksMembers powers it.

Every page is a custom Bricks layout, on-brand

A native Stripe checkout, built as a Bricks page

Team licenses, invitations and onboarding flows you control

Progress, access and completion as real Bricks elements and dynamic tags

Custom course modules

Protected lesson entries

Stripe license offers (single + team)

How it's built

The same site, on screen and in the builder

Pick an area, then slide through each view. Left is what members see; right is how it is built in Bricks.

A checkout page that looks like your site

The checkout is not a generic cart page. Bricks controls the multi-step layout and legal UX, while BricksMembers connects the Stripe payment to the membership access that should be granted afterward.

A signup form with validation and consent built in

The checkout form is still a real Bricks Form, so the project keeps full visual control over fields, validation, company purchase fields and legal consent text before the payment step.

Four Stripe offers, one access level

Four offers are configured in BricksMembers: one single-user purchase and three team-license options. Each successful Stripe purchase grants the same KI-Masterkurs access level.

1 single + 3 team

→ KI-Masterkurs level

Checkout

Every purchase unlocks the right access level

The purchase result maps to one BricksMembers user level, which gives the site a clean entitlement model instead of scattering payment logic across templates.

Gated lessons with automatic login redirects

Access Control defines where members go when content is locked, expired or unavailable, so protected course URLs and checkout redirects stay consistent across the site.

A member area you design in Bricks

The dashboard is a custom Bricks layout, but the member state comes from BricksMembers dynamic tags for top-level progress and continue-learning links.

{brm_progress:toplevel}

{brm_progress:continue:…}

Front-end

Built in Bricks

A dashboard personalized to each member

Each dashboard card can show live progress data without custom PHP in the template, because the card reads BricksMembers progress tags directly inside Bricks.

Course modules, laid out in Bricks

The module page combines a normal Bricks layout with a lesson query loop and BricksMembers progress elements, so the structure stays dynamic while the design stays custom.

One-click lesson completion, built in

Lesson completion is handled by the native BRM Progress Checkbox element, which gives members a clear completion action without turning the lesson template into custom code.

One query loop powers every lesson

A single loop outputs the lessons for the current module. Bricks handles the card design, while dynamic tags populate the URL, title and excerpt for each lesson.

Cards that link themselves with dynamic data

The lesson card is loop-enabled and links with the current post URL, so the same Bricks card can render every lesson without hard-coded links.

Query loop: on

Status icons that follow each member's progress

Each lesson card contains two status elements: a gray ring for lessons that are still open and a green checkmark for completed lessons. Bricks conditional logic decides which element is visible based on the BricksMembers completion state.

Condition: completed

Condition: not completed

{brm_completed}

Front-end

Built in Bricks

Done and to-do states, each its own element

The Bricks structure keeps the status UI explicit: one element is the empty Ring state and one element is the completed Erledigt state. The conditions decide which one the member sees for each lesson in the loop.

A progress bar you drop onto the page

The BRM Progress Bar element reads the current structure context and renders progress automatically, while Bricks controls the typography, spacing and visual style.

Emails that send themselves, on every event
