Academy
Course platform with lesson progress tracking, pricing tiers, and course catalog.
For Directories
Beacon
Ghost is a solid publishing platform, but Casper and Source are built for blogs. Beacon is built for directories. Browse-by-category homepage with resource counts, featured listing cards, tag archives that work as proper category pages, and membership tiers mapped to directory access levels. Not a blog pretending to be a directory.
