Better Login Process, with Clear Navigation to and Between Membership Sites
complete
Mette Aalykke
We need a more logical login process and clear navigation to and between membership sites. Many customers struggle to find their content due to 2 problems.
Problems and Solutions
- Confusing login process
Problem:
Customers receive their Simplero ID and password, but they are automatically logged in via magic links and redirected to the sales page. On the sales page, some customers search in vain for a "Log In" menu item, while others believe they are already on their membership site and search for their content without realizing the navigation to membership sites is hidden behind the profile icon.
Solution:
Stop using magic links in the "Here is your Simplero ID" email, and avoid explicitly listing the membership sites customers have access to. Instead, direct customers to a login page where they must use their (possibly pre-filled) login credentials.
After logging in, customers should land on a "You Are Logged In" distribution page, providing a clear and visually appealing overview of all their membership sites, similar to app version 1.
This distribution page should be inspired by the "Your Account" page but improved with intuitive buttons and links to membership sites, as customers do not realize they can click on images in the current version.
Provide customization options via the page builder, including welcome text and an introduction video.
Allow irrelevant information, such as sub-courses and distracting menu items, to be hidden to streamline the customer journey to their content.
- Hidden navigation due to missing menu text
Problem:
The menu to membership sites is hidden behind a profile icon and lacks explanatory text, making it difficult for customers to find. In the new experience, navigation between membership sites is further degraded. It has been reduced to a small wing without text, and when expanded, it overlaps other menus, creating visual clutter.
Solution:
Add a clear menu text, such as "Your Membership Sites."
Allow administrators to change the text to fit their concept, such as "Club Area," "Your Library," or "Your Online Courses," or hide the text if desired.
Move the membership sites menu back to the right-hand side in the new experience to prevent it from overlapping or covering the course navigation menu.
Ensure it is visually clear in the new experience that customers can scroll down to see additional menu items if there are more than the top menu box can display, such as with a consistently visible scrollbar on the side.
Conclusion
By improving the login process, adding a "Your Account"-like distribution page, and making navigation to and between membership sites easy to find with explanatory menu text and a proper placement on the right-hand side, we can eliminate customer confusion and create a more professional and user-friendly experience. This will reduce frustration and save time for both customers and administrators.

Holy crap!
Finally figured it out!
Someone made a bug so ALL the links in that email are the SAME!
The exact same link!
When they obviously should be different links that go to different places. That's the whole damn point!
The fix will be out later today.

Agree - people always tell me they get lost

Why is it taking people to the sales page? it should take them straight to the site where the content is, as defined on the product.
What are you doing?

Calvin Correli have had several custemers contact me, saying they couldent listen to my hypnosis files. When screen sharing with them i found that the problem was that they were not able to find the membership site menu. The navigation to and between the membership sites, needs to be a lot more visible, and easy to find. They are simply not able to figure out, that there is a hidden menu behind the icon.
