Paul, an experienced saxophone teacher, had a thriving online community built around his comprehensive saxophone courses on Kajabi. He sought to optimize his user experience and conversion strategy.
His primary objective was to implement a dynamic 'Join Membership' button that would:
Gracefully adapt to a user's login status.
Be highly visible and strategically placed in the top right corner of his Kajabi website.
Serve as an unmistakable call to action exclusively for visitors who were not yet logged in.
Disappear entirely the moment a user successfully logged into their account, providing a streamlined interface for existing students.
This adjustment aimed to create a frictionless pathway from casual browsing to committed membership, ensuring new visitors were consistently prompted without redundancy for returning students.
The Challenge & Our Role
The core challenge was implementing this sophisticated dynamic button functionality within Kajabi, as it is not innately supported through Kajabi's standard settings or theme options. This limitation necessitated a bespoke solution.
My role was as a custom development specialist, leveraging advanced coding techniques within Kajabi's integrated code editor. This involved:
A deep and nuanced understanding of Kajabi's Liquid templating language for server-side rendering and content injection.
Proficiency in JavaScript for client-side detection of user login status and dynamic manipulation of the Document Object Model (DOM).
The objective was to craft a robust and elegant solution for the button to appear or disappear based on real-time user authentication. The ultimate goal was a seamless and intuitive user experience that guided prospective members toward conversion, while maintaining a clean, professional interface for existing students.
The Process
My process began with an in-depth and consultative discussion with Paul. He articulated his vision, detailing:
Desired functionality.
Aesthetic placement (top-right corner for visibility without intrusiveness).
Strategic purpose.
Following this understanding, I moved to conceptualize a bespoke custom code solution. Implementation involved Kajabi's built-in code editor:
Meticulously crafted Liquid code to dynamically inject the HTML structure of the 'Join Membership' button.
Developed robust JavaScript code to discreetly detect the user's current login state.
This detection mechanism was critical. Based on the JavaScript's real-time assessment, it would either display or completely hide the button, ensuring its appearance solely for unauthenticated visitors.
To guarantee flawless operation, I engaged in extensive and rigorous testing, simulating various user scenarios (logging in, logging out, navigating different pages, multiple browsers) to confirm intended behavior under all conditions.
The Build & Outcome
Leveraging the carefully developed custom Liquid and JavaScript code, I successfully implemented the dynamic 'Join Membership' button for Paul's Kajabi website. The solution met and exceeded Paul's initial requirements.
Now:
The button is prominently and strategically displayed in the top right corner exclusively for logged-out visitors, acting as a highly visible call to action for potential new members.
Its prime location ensures it captures attention without disrupting site layout or user flow.
Crucially, the moment a user logs in, the button gracefully and seamlessly disappears, maintaining a clean, professional, and uncluttered interface for existing members.
This elegant custom functionality has significantly enhanced the overall user journey on Paul's site, creating a clear and direct pathway for new prospects.
Paul expressed immense satisfaction, highlighting how the sophisticated yet understated solution had substantially elevated his site's overall professionalism and, more importantly, its potential for converting casual visitors into dedicated members. The project delivered a tangible improvement in user experience and a powerful boost to his conversion strategy.
