WordPress LMS Migration to Next.js
Your courses deserve a faster, modern platform
Migrate LearnDash, TutorLMS, LifterLMS, or Sensei to a Next.js + Supabase + Mux stack. Keep every course, quiz, certificate, and student record.
WordPress LMS migration is all about boosting your online course experience by moving to Next.js. It's not just about switching platforms—it's about speed, flexibility, and modern design. You'll get faster load times and seamless navigation, enhancing both student and instructor satisfaction. Migrating from WordPress LMS like LearnDash or TutorLMS to a headless setup with Next.js means integrating dynamic features while keeping everything secure and scalable. We handle the nitty-gritty—data transfer, custom APIs, and responsive design—so you can focus on what you do best: teaching. And we're not just about promises; we're about timelines too. At Social Animal, we aim to complete migrations within four weeks. Our approach? Tailored strategies, clear communication, and a commitment to making your online course platform not just functional but exceptional. Ready to leave sluggish performance behind? Let's make your courses shine.
Your Current Site May Be a Liability
Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.
What Your Website Could Look Like
Custom-designed for your industry. No templates. No stock photos.
How We Build This Right
Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.
Full Course Structure Migration
Every course, module, lesson, topic, and drip schedule moves to your new Supabase schema. Hierarchical relationships and prerequisite chains stay intact.
Quiz & Assessment Engine
All question types, randomization rules, time limits, passing scores, and retry logic rebuild in the new stack. Historical quiz attempts and grades migrate alongside student records.
Adaptive Video Streaming via Mux
Mux or Cloudflare Stream replaces self-hosted or Vimeo embeds with adaptive bitrate streaming. Videos load fast and adjust quality based on the student's connection.
Student Progress Preservation
Lesson completions, course progress percentages, earned certificates, and badge records all move to Supabase with full history. Students pick up exactly where they left off.
Stripe Subscription Billing
Existing subscriptions, payment history, and access rules transfer to Stripe. One-time purchases, recurring plans, payment plans, and coupon codes all work natively.
Discussion Forum Migration
Course discussions, threaded replies, and instructor responses carry over to the new platform. Real-time updates replace the slow WordPress comment system.
What We Build
Purpose-built features for your industry.
Sub-Second Dashboard Loads
Student dashboards render in under 800ms using server-side rendering and edge caching. No more WordPress spinners.
Native Mobile Experience
A responsive course player with swipe navigation, native video controls, and touch-optimized quizzes that actually work on every device.
Certificate Generation
Dynamic PDF certificates generated server-side with the student's name, course title, completion date, and a unique verification URL.
Real-Time Progress Tracking
Supabase real-time subscriptions keep progress bars, leaderboards, and instructor dashboards current without page refreshes.
Video Analytics & DRM
Mux delivers per-video engagement analytics, playback heatmaps, and signed URLs to block unauthorized sharing.
Instructor Admin Panel
A custom admin interface for managing courses, reviewing quiz submissions, issuing certificates, and tracking revenue.
Built on a Modern, Secure Stack
Our Development Process
From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.
LMS Audit & Data Mapping
Week 1We export your full WordPress database and map every content type, user role, progress record, and payment relationship to the new Supabase schema. You get a migration plan with a zero-data-loss guarantee.
Database & API Build
Week 2Supabase tables, row-level security policies, and API endpoints go live. Stripe products mirror your existing plans. We run the first full data import and validate record counts against your WordPress database.
Frontend & Video Integration
Weeks 3-4The Next.js course player, student dashboard, quiz engine, and discussion forums get built. All existing videos are ingested into Mux with adaptive streaming profiles. We test the mobile experience across devices.
UAT & Student Acceptance
Week 5A select group of students and instructors test the new platform using their real accounts and progress. We work through edge cases — unusual quiz configurations, legacy certificate formats, custom drip schedules.
Cutover & DNS Switch
Week 6A final delta migration captures any new enrollments or progress since the initial import. DNS points to the new platform. The old WordPress site stays available in read-only mode for 30 days as a fallback.
