60 lessons written new for small-business owners, plus 24 adapted from Lightbulb's 35-year library. All are drafts for Lightbulb editorial review and will be tuned to your November customer survey.
Going live
Three ways to launch, pick one or combine
WordPress plugin
Upload, activate, done. The whole center appears at forwardfinancing.com/learn, inside your existing header and footer, with shareable lesson links and no inner scrollbars.
- 1Plugins → Add New → Upload the zip
- 2Activate “Lightbulb Learning Center”
- 3Visit forwardfinancing.com/learn
Bonus: a shortcode drops any tool or journey onto existing pages, like your Resources page:
[learning_center path="/embed/tool/financing-cost"]
Your own subdomain
Serve it at learn.forwardfinancing.com with one DNS record. Best for search visibility: every lesson is indexed under your domain. Fully hosted, SSL included, global edge network.
Type: CNAME
Name: learn
Value: cname.vercel-dns.com
Works alongside the plugin: the WordPress /learn page can simply link or redirect here.
Embed anywhere
Two lines of HTML put a tool, a journey, or the whole center on any page, in your customer portal, or in a post-funding email landing page.
<div data-lightbulb-academy data-path="/journeys/fund"></div> <script src="https://forward-academy.lightbulbpress.com/embed.js" async></script>
Preview
How it looks inside forwardfinancing.com
Embedded, the Academy drops its own header and footer and inherits yours. This frame is the live app.
Why ForwardOur ProductsAbout UsISOsCareersApplyReady to extend
Built on the Lightbulb platform, so it keeps growing
Shaped by your survey
Your November 2 customer survey re-ranks topics and journeys. We add, cut, and reorder lessons to match what owners asked for.
Full Spanish edition
Your site already offers ES. Lightbulb's bilingual pipeline (shipped for the ABA Foundation) delivers every lesson, tool, and quiz in Spanish.
Ask Forward, an AI guide
A plain-English assistant that answers owners' questions using only this vetted content, with educator-not-advisor guardrails.
Customer sign-in & progress
Single sign-on with your customer portal, so plans and progress follow owners across devices.
Always current
Tax limits, wage bases, and rules are tracked by Lightbulb's freshness audit and updated every year, automatically.
Engagement reporting
See which journeys and tools your customers use, and where owners need more help, in a partner dashboard.
