Descripción de la oferta
I’m seeking an experienced WordPress and Sensei LMS developer to improve the navigation and user experience of an existing personal-development platform. This initial project is focused primarily on fixing the navigation and returning-user experience for the existing pathways. I am not seeking a new platform, extensive feature development, or a full redesign. The website is already built and includes multiple guided quest pathways. Each user selects one pathway, or “archetype,” and then progresses through a sequence of quests. The content, visual design, quest pages, and core website structure are already in place. This is not a request for a new website or a complete redesign. The primary problem is the current Sensei LMS navigation flow. Users may be required to move through unnecessary course or lesson-list pages, repeat steps they have already completed, or reselect their archetype when returning to the site. The goal is to create a simpler, more intuitive journey that feels like a guided experience rather than a conventional online course. The desired user journey is: 1. A new user registers or signs in. 2. The user reviews a static list of archetypes with descriptions. 3. The user selects an archetype once. 4. The user begins the first quest in that pathway. 5. The system saves the user’s progress. 6. When the user returns, the site directs them immediately to their current quest. 7. The user continues through the remaining quests without repeatedly selecting the archetype or navigating through unnecessary Sensei course and lesson pages. Key requirements include: * Streamline the overall player journey and reduce unnecessary clicks. * Allow users to select their archetype once from a static list with descriptions. * Save the selected archetype to the user’s account or profile. * Prevent returning users from being sent back through archetype selection. * Create a clear “Resume Your Journey” or similar function. * Direct returning users to the correct current quest. * Preserve accurate Sensei progress tracking across sessions. * Bypass or hide unnecessary course, module, and lesson-list pages where appropriate. * Ensure that normal navigation does not reset or overwrite the user’s saved progress. * Make minor adjustments to buttons, labels, links, page layouts, or templates as needed. * Ensure the revised flow works well on desktop, tablet, and mobile. * Preserve the existing visual design and content unless a change is necessary for navigation. * Avoid unnecessary plugins or overly complicated solutions. * Document any custom code, template changes, or plugin modifications. The first priority is the returning-user experience. A user who has already selected an archetype and completed one or more quests should be able to sign in and resume the correct quest without searching through the website or repeating earlier steps. I would also like the developer to review the current Sensei LMS configuration and advise whether the desired flow can be achieved through settings, redirects, template overrides, user metadata, custom code, or a combination of these methods. Possible tasks may include: * Reviewing the current WordPress and Sensei setup * Mapping the existing user flow * Identifying the cause of repeated or unnecessary navigation steps * Configuring or customizing Sensei navigation * Creating conditional redirects based on user progress * Storing and retrieving each user’s selected archetype * Creating a personalized resume button or dashboard link * Adjusting course or lesson templates * Hiding unnecessary Sensei elements * Testing the full journey as both a new and returning user * Testing across desktop, tablet, and mobile * Providing a brief summary of all changes made * Creating a backup and using a staging site or other safe testing process before making changes to the live website The developer should have demonstrated experience with: * WordPress * Sensei LMS * Customizing LMS navigation and templates * WordPress user roles, user metadata, and login redirects * PHP, CSS, HTML, and JavaScript as needed * Responsive design * UX/UI for guided user journeys * Troubleshooting plugin and theme conflicts * Creating solutions that remain stable after updates Experience with membership sites, learning platforms, gamified experiences, coaching platforms, or personalized user dashboards would be helpful. The project will be considered complete when: * A new user can select an archetype and begin the correct quest. * The selected archetype and quest progress are retained. * A returning user can sign in and resume the correct current quest directly. * Unnecessary Sensei course and lesson-list pages are bypassed or hidden. * The revised flow has been tested on desktop and mobile. * Any customizations are documented and implemented in a way that minimizes problems during future WordPress, theme, or plugin updates. Please include the following in your proposal: * Examples of previous WordPress or Sensei LMS customization work * A brief explanation of how you would approach this project * Whether you have created personalized resume or progress-based navigation before * Your fixed-price quote for the initial scope, including any assumptions or items that would require additional work * Your availability for occasional future maintenance * Any questions you would need answered before beginning I prefer to begin with a focused review and improvement of the current user journey rather than a large redevelopment project. If the initial work is successful, there may be additional WordPress and Sensei support needed as the platform grows.
