9 Best Dark Online Course Website Examples
I found the best online course websites that attract more students.
These sites nail the balance between bold messaging and clean navigation… making complex learning feel approachable. Here are some tips and tricks to make the best site:
- Lead with transformation, not curriculum. OzYoga hooks postpartum women with “reclaim your bodies” while UX Decisions promises to transform designers into “decisive pros under pressure.” The outcome always comes first.
- Use bold typography with strategic color accents. CreatorAndy pairs high contrast with orange CTAs, TagMango energizes with bold orange typography, and Learn combines purple and orange in rounded components. Big type commands attention… strategic color drives action.
- Make credibility visual. AI Scaling Suite uses before-after comparisons, CreatorAndy layers social proof throughout, and ReplStack shows real code feedback. Students need proof your course delivers.

About this collection
This is a collection of websites organized by the platform they are built on, category, and sometimes tags and the creator. They're here for inspiration. Most websites made it into this collection because they have beautiful designs, while others showcase exceptional copywriting or information architecture.
What this page contains
This page showcases 9 website examples in the Online Course category tagged as "Dark". Each website includes a tall screenshot, a link to the live site, the platform it was built on, and a description (generated with AI).
Quality may vary by category or platform
Some sites aren't an absolute 10/10, but they shine relative to their categorization. For example, categories like Notary or HOA don't reach the same design heights as Designer or SaaS sites. They're still included so people in those industries have relevant references when building their website.
How these websites are picked
While I won't reveal the exact details of my curation process (so competitors can't copy), I can share that:
- They are all organically sourced (i.e., I don't copy other inspiration galleries)
- It's an arduous process to find these gems. I typically review 10,000 sites to discover just 10 worthy additions.
The purpose of this collection
There are two primary reasons people view these website examples:
- To find design, copy, or general website inspiration from similar businesses in their industry
- To explore the capabilities of website platforms before making a decision
Oh yes, and affiliate marketing. I'm part of affiliate programs for some of the platforms, so if you purchase after clicking a link, I may earn a commission.
