A: Hi radianthealthmassage1, and thanks so much for reaching out. Happy to give you a full overview.

Yes, Forento is designed for exactly what you're looking to do. You can upload pre-recorded videos, audio files, PDFs, and written content to create structured courses or membership-based programs. Our membership feature lets you offer monthly subscriptions, including multiple pricing tiers with different access levels if you like.

For live group coaching sessions, we have a product format called Events. It's perfect for live calls. Events can be free, paid, or included in a membership tier, and you can use any video conferencing tool that provides a meeting link, such as Zoom or Google Meet. Just add the link when creating your event, and your members will be able to join from your platform.

When it comes to setup, you actually build two things with Forento:

1. Your academy, which is the core platform where users sign up, purchase products or memberships, and access your content. This part is required.

2. Your website, which is completely optional. It's great if you want to build landing pages or promote your academy with a full custom site, but not needed to launch your membership program or products.

We’ve built Forento to be simple to use, even if you’re just getting started, while giving you powerful tools to grow over time. Let me know if you’d like a quick walkthrough or have any other questions. I’m happy to help.
