WordPress LMS & E-Commerce System
Budget: £5,000 – £10,000 GBP
Project Brief: Multi-Tenant WordPress LMS & E-Commerce Implementation
06/07/2026
Project Type: End-to-End LMS Setup, Hosting, E-Commerce Integration, and Automation
Core Stack: WordPress (Managed Hosting) + LearnDash + WooCommerce + Uncanny Owl Suite (Groups & Automator)
Target Launch: Mid August 2026
Context: We are a small, specialised team which provides data governance and data privacy consulting services to small and medium-sized companies. Our customers need training on data privacy for their employees. We are finding that hosted solutions are too expensive and require us to manage the learners, which we do not have the resources to do. We are therefore looking to invest in the development of our own LMS platform.
Currently, we only have one course, as a SCORM file. However, we hope to expand our training offering with some more courses in time.
1. Project Overview & Objective
We are launching a multi-tenant Learning Management System (LMS) built on WordPress that serves two distinct customer models:
1. B2C (Individual Learners): Individuals who purchase a single course online and are automatically enrolled into a shared, global LMS environment.
2. B2B (Corporate Tenants): Companies that purchase a block of course seats/licenses in bulk. Upon purchase, the system must automatically provision a private "Group Tenant" environment for that company. Their designated Group Leader must be able to add users, track progress, and view reports exclusively for their organisation.
Key B2B Requirement: To deliver a white-label experience, corporate tenants must be able to upload their own company logo via their front-end dashboard. This logo must automatically brand their specific tenant interface, course navigation experience, and downloadable PDF reports for their learners.
We require an experienced WordPress developer or boutique agency to handle the full technical infrastructure, LMS configuration, e-commerce workflows, white-label branding setup, and automations.
2. Scope of Work
Phase 1: Server & Infrastructure Setup
• Managed WordPress Hosting: Recommend and configure a high-performance, managed WordPress host optimised for dynamic WooCommerce and LearnDash database queries (e.g., Pressidium, Kinsta, Cloudways, or WP Engine).
• Environment Configuration: Set up the production server, SSL certificate, automated daily backups, and a functional staging environment for testing updates and new automation recipes.
• Core Installation: Fresh installation of the latest stable version of WordPress.
Phase 2: LMS Architecture & Multi-Tenancy (LearnDash + Uncanny)
• LearnDash Setup: Core installation and configuration of LearnDash LMS (global settings, profile pages, and general course framework).
• Multi-Tenant Group Structure: Implement and configure Uncanny Groups for LearnDash to achieve strict multi-tenancy.
• Group Leader Dashboards: Configure front-end management dashboards so client administrators can:
o Manage their allocated course seats/licenses.
o Invite, add, or bulk-import their own learners via CSV.
o View and download progress reports exclusively for their group.
• Tenant Co-Branding: Enable and configure the Uncanny Group Branding module. Group Leaders must have a front-end upload field to submit their company logo.
Phase 3: E-Commerce & Automated Provisioning (WooCommerce)
• WooCommerce Core Setup: Install and configure WooCommerce, including tax rules, checkout flows, and payment gateway integration (e.g., Stripe, PayPal).
• B2C Setup (Individual Sales): Configure single-course products. Upon a successful checkout, the individual user must automatically receive an account and immediate enrolment into the course within the shared LMS tier.
• B2B Setup (Bulk/Tenant Sales): Integrate WooCommerce with Uncanny Groups. Configure products that allow corporate buyers to select a quantity of seats.
• Automated B2B Onboarding: Upon a successful bulk purchase, the system must automatically:
o Create a private Uncanny Group (Tenant) named after the company or order.
o Assign the buyer as the "Group Leader".
o Allocate the purchased number of seats to that group.
o Send an automated welcome email with a link directing them to their private management dashboard to upload their logo and invite users.
Phase 4: Design, Theme, & Dynamic Branding
• Theme Implementation: Install and customise a lightweight, LearnDash- and WooCommerce-optimised theme (e.g., Astra, Kadence, or GeneratePress) tailored to a clean, professional corporate training aesthetic.
• Import of single course: Import the one course we will be offering. It is a SCORM file. Test that the course runs correctly and that tracking of progress and completion works accurately.
• Dynamic Logo Substitution: Ensure the theme and Uncanny configuration are properly aligned so that when a branded tenant learner logs in, the platform's global logo is dynamically swapped out for their specific employer’s logo across the dashboard and course players.
• User Journeys: Style and configure distinct, seamless front-end experiences for account creation, course browsing, shopping basket, checkout, student dashboards, and Group Leader dashboards.
Phase 5: Testing, Optimization, & Handover
• Performance Tuning: Object caching, database optimisation for concurrent learners checking out and taking courses, and asset optimisation.
• Security & Compliance: General hardening of the WordPress installation and alignment with standard privacy/data protection best practices (e.g., UK GDPR compliance for tenant separation).
• Handover Documentation: A technical overview of the setup and a step-by-step walkthrough of how to add new products or manually onboard a corporate tenant if needed.
3. Out of Scope (What We Will Provide)
• Course content creation (SCORM packages, videos, quizzes, and text copy).
• Final branding assets, default platform logos, and product pricing strategies.
• Payment gateway merchant accounts (e.g., active Stripe/PayPal accounts).
• Legal documentation (Terms of Service, Privacy Policies).
4. Technical Requirements & Assumptions
• Licences: We will provide all premium plugin licences (LearnDash, WooCommerce paid add-ons, Uncanny Owl All-Access Pass, and the chosen theme), unless your agency provides them under an active agency licence. Please clarify this in your proposal.
• Scalability: The architecture must be built cleanly without excessive, redundant plugins, ensuring the database handles concurrent transactional (WooCommerce) and educational (LearnDash) activity smoothly.
5. Proposal Submission Guidelines
When responding, please provide:
1. Relevant Experience: Links to previous projects involving LearnDash, WooCommerce, and specifically Uncanny Groups / Uncanny Automator workflows, ideally showing examples of custom-branded group portals.
2. Hosting Recommendation: Your preferred managed WordPress host for a high-concurrency LMS + e-commerce build and why.
3. Estimated Timeline: A breakdown of how many weeks this implementation will take from kick-off to handover, and when you would have capacity to start the project.
4. Cost Estimate: A fixed-price quote or a clear breakdown of costs for the full implementation, alongside your standard hourly rate for post-launch support.
5. Team Structure: Clarify if you are an individual freelancer or an agency, and your geographical location/time zone.
