WordPress Courses & Payments Upgrade

My WordPress site needs a focused overhaul so students can buy and access text-based courses without hiccups. The first milestone is to set up a lightweight course delivery system—something like LearnDash, LifterLMS, TutorLMS or an equivalent you recommend—so each lesson, quiz and downloadable resource sits behind a paywall and unlocks automatically after payment.

Payment flow is critical. The checkout must work seamlessly with:
• PayPal
• Bank transfers
• Stripe

A simple enrolment form should capture the learner’s details, pipe them into the course area and trigger a confirmation email with login instructions.

Once the course and payment foundation is solid, I’d like you to:
– Optimise speed (caching, image compression, minification, database cleanup) until typical pages load in under three seconds.
– Refresh the look with a clean, modern theme or custom styling that stays fast and mobile-friendly.
– Embed my YouTube channel feed so new videos appear automatically.
– Add prominent WhatsApp and other social links in the header and footer.

Deliverables are a fully configured course system, verified payment processing, performance improvements demonstrated with before/after metrics, and a polished interface that feels current on both desktop and mobile. Let me know your preferred tools, timeline, and any hosting tweaks I should arrange in advance.
