I'm Tom Lorimer, and Purple Hippo is my one-person studio. I build custom Teachable integrations for established schools and organizations, and I'll tell you if Zapier or Make would do the job instead. Fixed scope, fixed price, no surprises.
Early-stage questions are welcome, with no obligation.
What I build
Keep Teachable and the rest of your systems in step. I connect your school to your CRM, sign-in provider, email platform or internal database, covering user sync, enrollment and progress tracking.
Act on enrollments, completions and purchases as they happen, without losing any. I build webhook handlers with verification, retries and a record of anything that fails.
Give each corporate client their own branded space. Bulk enrollment, organization management, seat licensing and single sign-on.
For when you need more control over pricing and upsells than the standard checkout offers. Custom Stripe flows that enroll students automatically after purchase.
Let your clients' staff sign in to your school with the accounts they already use at work, through SAML 2.0 or OAuth.
Your own front end and API layer, with Teachable running courses, payments and progress behind it.
The process
Tell me about your project, your current stack, and what you're trying to achieve. I'll reply to say whether it's the right kind of work for me and, if it is, what I need to scope it.
If it's a fit, you'll get a fixed-scope, fixed-price proposal within 24 to 48 hours. There are no hourly rates or open-ended retainers, so you know exactly what you're getting before any work starts.
I build, test, and document everything. Most projects ship within 4 to 6 weeks. Handover includes technical documentation and a walkthrough so your team can maintain it.
Before you get in touch
The more context you include in your enquiry, the more useful my reply will be. These are the questions I'll ask. Answering them up front saves a round of back-and-forth.
