How to register a Wizzylab account
To start using Wizzylab, visit wizzylab.com and click the “Sign up” button. In the registration form, enter your name and email (the name will be used as the default author name), create a site name and its web address or domain (you can change it once later), and set a password. You will later access your site via wizzylab.com using the “Log in” button. * After clicking the sign-up button, please wait a moment while your site is being created — this usually takes less than a minute. After registration, you will enter your personal dashboard — the Control Panel. The main page provides access to key actions, site statistics, and helpful information displayed on the right.
From here, you can add a new digital product in just a few seconds using the “Add product” button.
In the settings, you enter the product name, description, and optionally images. You can explain why users should buy or view this material. You may select yourself as the author or create multiple authors and publish courses from different instructors under one account.
In the icons and promo section, you can choose a course image or simply select a color — in that case, the course will be displayed as a colored block.
You can also add an additional promo video. In the pricing section, you can set the product as paid or free. If payment details have not yet been configured, pricing can be added later.
If the “Video course” content type is selected, an additional “Builder” tab becomes available where you can add sections and lessons.
In lessons, you can add content such as:
- video
- text with images
- presentations
- PDF files
- YouTube videos
- tests and quizzes
- code editor with syntax highlighting
After that, your course will become publicly available online. Using the “Preview” button, you can see how your clients and students will view the content.
Events and online consultations
If you select the “Event” product type, additional fields will appear for entering the event date, time, and location. This is what an event page looks like:
If you choose the “Consultation” product type, users will be prompted to select their preferred date and time and provide contact details during purchase.
After successful payment, a virtual meeting room link in appear.in is automatically generated and can be emailed to the user.
Need a blog?
Creating a beautiful, simple, fast, and responsive blog on Wizzylab is very easy. You can build your personal brand, attract new clients, and share updates and news — all through your blog.
Appearance or how to customize web design?
You can customize your site’s style in the “Design” section. Here you can add a logo, favicon (browser tab icon), choose a main site image, and adjust menu and button colors.
Ready… Launch your site
That’s basically it — now you can view your site. You can navigate to it using the button at the bottom of the panel. Here is an example of a site you can get for free immediately after registration by adding a logo, a few images, and videos:
Okay, how will users see the content?
After purchasing a course (book or video), users enter a special “learning mode” where all materials are clearly structured. You can make some sections free so users can preview them before buying. In this mode, videos are protected from copying.
