By invitation, to six coaches

A place for a course you are proud of.

You have made something good and it deserves somewhere better than a theme with your logo in the corner. Trellis is where I put my own courses, because I could not find a platform with the instructional integrity and the learner experience I wanted.

You hand me the course. I build it, brand it entirely as yours, and run it. You never open a builder, never learn a dashboard, and your learners never see my name. Six coaches at a time, because I build every one of them myself.

Ask about a studio

I built it for my own courses first, and to a standard I could not buy.

Two ways in

Both end the same way: a course that carries your brand, hosted, sold, and delivered without you touching a settings panel.

You have a course

Hand it over

Slides, videos, worksheets, a PDF you have been selling for years. I transfer it, build it into lessons, brand the whole learner experience as yours, and wire up the checkout.

You have expertise

Build it with me

You know the material and have never written a course. We work through what your learners need to know, do, and believe, and I build it. Thirty years of instructional design, applied to your subject.

What you never have to think about

This is the actual product. Not features: an absence of work.

Learn a platform
There is no dashboard you have to master. There is me, and email.
Design anything
Your colors, your logo, your fonts, set up once and applied throughout.
Explain my name
Your learners sign in at your address. Trellis appears once, small, in a footer.
Chase a payment
Money from a sale lands in your own Stripe account. You are the merchant.
Host a video
Embedded from wherever you already keep them. No storage bill, ever.
Wonder if it worked
Learners rate their own confidence before and after. You see whether it moved.
What you gain

Not a course player. A desk.

Yours gives her a desk with her name on it, room to write, and on the last page a letter she writes to herself.

A letter to herself

The last page of every course. She writes to the woman she will be in a month, using her own words from the pages she has just filled, then seals it. She can share it with you or keep it to herself.

Pages, not modules

Reading pages built to be read, with room to write in them, and her own answers saved where she left them. Nothing that looks like corporate training.

And it comes back

At thirty days and again at sixty, with a follow-up written for your course rather than a generic nudge. Most courses end at the last page. Yours arrives again when the resolve has worn off, which is the only moment it could matter.

The part nobody else does

You will know whether it worked.

Learners rate their own confidence against the skills you named, before they start and again at the end. Then their own letter comes back at thirty and sixty days, and they are asked once more, to see whether it held.

You see the movement on your own dashboard: who finished, where people stall, and how far confidence actually traveled. Not vanity numbers. The one measurement that tells you whether the thing you built did what you built it for.

Before and after
Her own rating, on the skills you chose, in her words rather than a star.
Where people stall
The lesson everyone stops at is the lesson to rewrite. You will see it.
Whether it held
Thirty and sixty days on. Anyone can feel changed on the last page of a course.

And then you can say it out loud. A coach who can tell a corporate buyer how far her learners actually moved is not selling a course any more. She is selling evidence, and that is what grows a client list.

What Trellis does not do

Said plainly, so you know before you ask. None of these are missing. They are declined, so the parts that are here can be good.

Marketing and selling
No sales pages, no email sequences, no ad tools. Your site, your words, your list. I am the course and the delivery, not your marketing department.
Live calls and community
If your offer includes coaching, workshops, or a group, that runs on your own tools. The course links out to them and stays out of the way.
Owning your work
Everything you put in is yours, entirely. What happens to your material and your learners if you leave is written into the agreement, not left to trust.

Where the money goes

The whole path, so there is no mystery in it. I never touch the card, never hold the money even briefly, and never sit between you and your buyer.

One
Your own site
You write the offer and set the price, in your words and your design.
Two
Stripe's checkout
The card is entered on Stripe’s own secure page. Money lands in your account. You are the merchant of record, so refunds are yours to give.
Three
Back to your door
She signs in at your address and starts. The only automatic step is the percentage coming out as Stripe processes it.

What it costs

Priced in plain parts, and only one of them touches your checkout. Everything else arrives as an invoice, because you are hiring a person rather than subscribing to a tool.

Branding and implementation
Once, at the start. Your brand applied across the whole learner experience, and your studio set up and tested.
Invoiced
Hosting
Annual. Keeps your studio running, backed up, and up to date. It also includes the two things that make a year of teaching add up to something: a strategy session each quarter, and a written report at year end showing how your learners moved, against your own earlier cohorts and against the completion rates the industry publishes. Yours to show a client, existing or prospective.
Invoiced
Learners who pay you directly
A percentage of each sale, taken at checkout. Money lands in your Stripe account; this is the only piece you never see an invoice for.
At checkout
Learners you enroll yourself
Corporate cohorts, sponsored places, anyone who did not buy a seat themselves. A flat fee per registration.
Invoiced
Building the course itself
Only if you want it built rather than transferred. Quoted per course, because no two are the same size.
Quoted

Exact numbers come in the letter, once I know the shape of what you teach. A course with four lessons and a course with forty are not the same job, and a page cannot honestly price either one sight unseen.

Why only six

Because I build them. Not a team, not a queue of contractors: me, reading your material and deciding how it should be taught.

Six is what I can do properly in a year while still knowing what is in every studio. When the six are full, the honest answer is a date rather than a discount.

Ask about a studio

Most coaches here have worked with me on their course, or took one of mine and asked where it was hosted. If neither is you, write anyway and say how you found it.

Tell me what you teach and who you teach it to. Two or three sentences is plenty. You will get a letter back from me, not an automated reply: what I think you have, what it would take to build, and what it would cost. If we both still want to, coffee comes after that.

Where are you with the material?
Nobody arrives with nothing, and nobody arrives finished.
