Your LMS Crashed During Launch Week. Again.

If you're a course creator watching LearnDash choke on 500 concurrent users, you've hit the ceiling.

Migrate LearnDash, TutorLMS, LifterLMS, or Sensei to a Next.js + Supabase + Mux stack. Keep every course, quiz, certificate, and student record.

WordPress LMS Migration

A WordPress LMS migration moves your existing course content, student accounts, quiz data, and completion records out of a plugin-dependent WordPress install and into a purpose-built Next.js application connected to Supabase and Mux. The result is a platform that handles concurrent enrollment spikes, streams video reliably, and gives you direct database access without a plugin intermediary. Your learners see no interruption; your infrastructure gains the headroom to scale.

What is holding your current website back?

Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

Your LMS crashes or times out every time you open enrollment to a new cohort, costing you sales and support hours at the worst possible moment.
Risk: Repeated outages during launch windows erode student trust and generate refund requests that compound with each course cycle.
Video playback stalls or degrades because WordPress is serving large media files through the same server handling PHP and database queries.
Risk: Poor video performance directly increases course abandonment rates and drives negative public reviews that suppress future enrollment.
Adding quizzes, certificates, or drip schedules requires layering additional plugins that conflict with each other and break on routine WordPress updates.
Risk: Plugin dependency chains make the platform brittle; a single WooCommerce or PHP version update can take your entire course portal offline.

How We Build This Right

Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.

Student Data Integrity

Every enrollment record, quiz attempt, score, and certificate issuance date is mapped and verified in the new Supabase schema before any DNS cutover. We run row-count and checksum comparisons against the source WordPress database to confirm zero data loss.

Zero-Downtime Cutover

The new platform runs in parallel with your live WordPress site throughout testing. We switch DNS only after end-to-end learner flows, payment webhooks, and certificate generation have been validated against production data on the new stack.

Access Control Parity

Role-based access rules from your existing LMS, including instructor permissions, cohort gating, and drip unlock schedules, are replicated exactly in Supabase Row Level Security policies before the migration is considered complete.

What We Build

Purpose-built features for your industry.

Full Content Migration

Courses, modules, lessons, quizzes, answer keys, drip schedules, and certificate templates are extracted from your WordPress database and restructured into a normalized Supabase schema. No content is manually re-entered.

Mux Video Delivery

Existing video assets are ingested into Mux, which handles adaptive bitrate streaming, per-user signed playback tokens, and upload pipelines for future content. WordPress media library dependency is eliminated entirely.

Next.js Course Player

A custom Next.js front end replaces the WordPress theme layer with a fast, statically generated course catalog and a server-rendered lesson player. Page load times for course content drop measurably compared to a plugin-rendered WordPress equivalent.

Supabase Auth and Progress Tracking

Student authentication, session management, and lesson completion state are handled natively in Supabase, replacing WordPress user tables and LMS plugin meta. Real-time progress updates and resume-from-last-position work without polling hacks.

Our Development Process

From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.

01

Audit and Schema Design

1 week

We export your WordPress database and map every LMS table, including enrollment history, quiz attempts, and user meta, to a clean relational schema in Supabase. You receive a data dictionary and a migration risk log before any code is written.

02

Platform Build and Data Migration

2-4 weeks

The Next.js application, Supabase schema, and Mux video ingestion pipeline are built in parallel. Migration scripts run against a copy of your live database and are re-run on cutover day against the final snapshot, keeping drift to minutes.

03

Parallel Testing

1-2 weeks

Your team and a sample of enrolled students test every learner flow on the staging environment: enrollment, payment, video playback, quiz submission, certificate download, and instructor dashboards. Issues are resolved before any cutover date is set.

04

Cutover and Stabilization

1-2 weeks

DNS is switched during a low-traffic window. We monitor Supabase query performance, Mux playback error rates, and application error logs for the first two weeks post-launch and resolve any production anomalies within agreed response times.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Every completion record, quiz attempt, earned certificate, and progress percentage moves to Supabase. Students log into the new platform and see their dashboard exactly as they left it. Before cutover, we run validation scripts that compare record counts between WordPress and Supabase to confirm nothing is missing.
Most migrations finish in 3-6 weeks depending on course volume, quiz complexity, and custom integrations. A 20-course LearnDash site with standard quizzes typically takes 3-4 weeks. Sites with 200+ courses, complex branching quizzes, or custom certificate designs run closer to 6 weeks. We'll give you an exact timeline after the audit.
Yes. A delta migration at cutover captures any new enrollments, progress updates, or payments made since the initial import. Your students won't experience any downtime. The WordPress site stays live right up until we switch DNS to the new platform.
Mux uses adaptive bitrate streaming -- video quality adjusts in real-time based on the student's connection speed. You also get per-video analytics showing exactly where students pause, rewind, or drop off, plus signed URLs to prevent unauthorized sharing. Self-hosted WordPress video can't match that performance or security at scale.
All course discussions, threaded replies, and instructor responses migrate to the new platform. The discussion system runs on Supabase real-time subscriptions, so new replies appear immediately without a page refresh. It's a meaningful step up from WordPress comments.
No. After migration, your platform runs on Next.js, Supabase, Mux, and Stripe -- all usage-based pricing, no plugin renewals. Most clients see monthly platform costs drop by 40-70% compared to their WordPress plugin stack, particularly at higher student volumes.
