FAQ
-
Q: How long does it take to develop a custom LMS?A: Custom LMS development means building or extending a learning management system specifically around your organization's workflows, content requirements, user roles, and technical environment — rather than configuring a generic off-the-shelf platform. It typically involves platform selection (Open edX, Canvas, Moodle, or custom build), feature development (custom UX, integrations, workflows, analytics), deployment on your preferred cloud, and ongoing maintenance. Raccoon Gang has delivered 150+ custom LMS development projects since 2015.
-
Q: How to choose an LMS development company?A: When choosing an LMS development company, look for one with proven experience, a strong portfolio, and positive client testimonials.
-
Q: Can I hire dedicated LMS developers from Raccoon Gang?A: Yes. Raccoon Gang provides dedicated LMS developers for hire — individual specialists or full teams for Open edX, Canvas, and Moodle. Engagement models include dedicated team (full-time developers embedded in your project), time and materials (flexible scope), and fixed-scope delivery. All engagements are covered by NDA, and you retain full IP ownership of the code and platform.
-
Q: How do we get started with custom LMS development?A: To get started with custom learning management system development, contact us to discuss your business requirements. We will work with you to develop the solution architecture, custom design, and technical specifications. Once everything is defined, our team of LMS developers will begin building your custom learning management system according to the agreed timeline.
The RaccoonGang has been nothing but exception with regards to the planning of, developing and after-service when it came to our edX roll-out. More so, the learning curve on this has been huge for us and RG has simply made it possible with the sharing of knowledge and answering of questions. We would not be in the position we are now where we have a competitive solution in market had it not been for the RG and their teams of supportive staff. I would highly recommend RG to any company.
