DJ Shortee Membership Site
How We Helped Improve Gamification & Onboarding for DJ Shortee’s Membership Experience
About DJ Shortee
DJ Shortee, a Los Angeles-based DJ, runs an online membership platform for her community, DJ Scratch Liverpool. Her courses and training programs help aspiring DJs hone their skills through structured lessons and an engaging learning experience.
When Shannon approached us, she already had a functioning membership site but wanted to enhance the gamification elements, particularly focusing on the dashboard experience and onboarding process. While her courses were already in place and her graphics were self-designed, our primary role was to create a structured, user-friendly dashboard and seamless onboarding flow.
Before Working With Us:
- Incomplete Gamification & Dashboard Flow
Although Shannon’s membership site was operational, it lacked an intuitive and engaging dashboard that could track user progress effectively. - No Dedicated Onboarding Process
New members had no structured guide to navigate the platform, leading to confusion and a less engaging first-time experience. - Manual Enrollment Workflow
Her payment system, ThriveCart, was integrated with LearnDash, but the user enrollment process required additional automation for a smoother experience.
What We Did:
- Built a Custom Dashboard & Onboarding Process
We designed and implemented a brand-new onboarding flow, ensuring that new members could easily navigate their learning journey from the moment they signed up. - Created a Gamified Learning Experience
To increase engagement, we built a progress tracking section, an onboarding checklist, and a dynamic calendar feature that helped users keep track of their learning milestones. - Improved Navigation & UI Elements
We refined the website’s navigation, created custom icons, and streamlined the flow from onboarding to course progression, making the platform more intuitive for users. - Automated Enrollment & CRM Enhancements
Initially, Shannon used ThriveCart to handle payments and LearnDash for course delivery. We optimized this setup by integrating WPFusion with ActiveCampaign, automating the entire enrollment process to eliminate manual intervention. - Assisted in CRM Migration
Before pausing her account, Shannon sought to migrate from ActiveCampaign to FluentCRM. While she managed most of the transition independently, we provided guidance, training materials, and support to ensure a smooth migration.
The Impact:
- Enhanced Member Engagement
The new dashboard and onboarding process made it easier for users to navigate the platform, increasing participation and retention. - Streamlined User Enrollment
By automating the ThriveCart-to-LearnDash workflow with WPFusion, new members were enrolled instantly, reducing administrative overhead. - Improved User Experience & Customization
With better navigation, gamification elements, and a structured onboarding flow, DJ Shortee’s platform now delivers a more engaging and user-friendly learning experience.

“She brought a much clearer picture of what would work best on our website”
I can recommend Danica enough for your website design needs, especially with membership projects! I meat with her to clarify our gamification process on our membership website and she was so knowledgable. She brought a much clearer picture of what would work best on our website in our consultation and helped us end up with a much better design that we originally planned on our own. I appreciate that she was willing to share her experience to bring it all together for us!

“Danica really took the time to get to know my business and the program”
Danica is an absolute digital rockstar! I am working on an online learning platform that is quite bespoke and can be difficult for many to wrap their heads around. Danica really took the time to get to know my business and the program, so that she could not only recommend solutions for the problems I can to her with, but identify and implement areas for improvement that I didn’t event know were possible. Her communication style is brilliant, providing me with regular updates via Loom video recordings so that I can both see and hear what is going on. She always makes sure she checked in on an idea, before fully implementing, so no time is lost on unnecessary or unsuitable steps. I highly recommend Danica!

“When you decide to bring her and her team on board to assist with a project, you should expect nothing but top results.”
Danica reported directly to me in my Larry Jacob Internet Marketing firm. She started off as a graphic designer and grew to become my top technical lead. In the six years she work with me, she was my go to team member. She is very sharp, hardworking and reliable. She decide to leave when we had a slow down and she found an opportunity to start her own firm. I hated to see her go, but she was ready for a bigger opportunities and she’s done very well. We have kept in touch occasionally outsource work to her and her team. She continues to be the reliable colleague I’ve learned to appreciate. When you decide to bring her and her team on board to assist with a project, you should expect nothing but top results. I highly recommend her.

“She sees things that I don’t know about or understand, and ensures I am fully educated”
Danica is magnificent at her work! I am thrilled with her detailed accountability and sticking to tight deadlines. She sees things that I don’t know about or understand, and ensures I am fully educated on each particular function or piece by creating voice over tutorials. These are critical for our team and the stability of our project. I’m delighted with our work with Danica and highly recommend her to anyone requiring a solid setup for a membership and e-learning site.

“my one-stop shop when it comes to my membership site!”
Danica and her team is my one-stop shop when it comes to my membership site! I’ve hired 3 different people in the last year to take on updating the membership with not much luck. Finally, I’ve found a great team work with who actually knows what they are doing and meets deadlines.
