About Purple Hippo Web Studio
Welcome to
Purple Hippo Web Studio!
Hi, I'm Tom Lorimer! If you're looking at my 'about' page, you're clearly curious about who I am. That's actually pretty humbling.
I have nearly a decade of experience using the Teachable platform and with online course creators. I specialize in crafting landing pages for your school or courses, but I also get to create seriously cool custom integrations like Witness, a social proof application built for Teachable (see it on the App Hub).
However, everyone has to start someplace, and my goal this year and beyond is to help new Course Creators like you get started in the online Course business.
To start with: How many course sales do you need to cover Teachable and processing fees? My free BreakEven Calculator shows you instantly—no spreadsheets or math required.

Statistics about us
My business
I've build my business by helping others with their Teachable schools. Here are some of the ways I can help you.
Rainbow Template
Our first self-install template 'course', Rainbow, is a colorful and vibrant design that will make your school stand out from the rest. Uses liquid variables to allow you to customize the content as you need.
PM & Foodie Templates
Launched in Q2 2025, I have developed two distinct-quick to install templates. Project Management or Foodie Critic - give me a day or two, provide copy and images and I can do a quick install.
Coming Soon
Launching Q3 2025, our third and fourth templates will also be quick to install with another self-install bonus 'budget' template.
Witness | Social Proof for your Teachable School
I built Witness to be the ultimate social proof tool for your Teachable school. With Witness, you can display recent sales, signups, and more to help increase your conversions.
