12 Weeks to Sleek is an online workout and dietary plan from well-known South African women’s magazine Fairlady.Created by professional fitness trainers and dieticians, the program contains a healthy meal plan and workout regimen that women can tackle at their own pace, in their own home. The goal is to achieve healthy and lasting weight loss.These tried and tested workouts use minimal equipment, and meals can be customized to suit any budget. Trainer Aneeka Buys and dietician Carey Anne Seady guide and motivate users daily or weekly. “The plan is designed for an average woman to lose around one kilo per week – that’s a healthy, realistic weight loss that you’ll be able to sustain.”“The plan is designed for an average woman to lose around one kilo per week – that’s a healthy, realistic weight loss that you’ll be able to sustain.”Fairlady approached South African WooExperts, LightSpeed, to create a website where readers could sign up and pay for the course.WooCommerce Memberships was the obvious choice, but the project was not without its challenges. Workouts and meal plans needed to be restricted by login, and be available for download in the members’ area. Customers also needed to be able to access and take a supplied fitness test to help inform them as to where they needed to start on the plan.“We needed to build a plugin that displayed the meal and exercise plans in a chronological order that the reader could work through logically, and mark days complete as they progress,” says Ashley Shaw.To this end, LightSpeed developed the LSX Health Plan plugin specifically for 12 Weeks to Sleek. Their team also created two new post types – recipes and workouts – that can be added to the Day Plan.“Additionally, the plan can be structured per day or per week, which allows shorter duration health programs to be used with the software,” adds Shaw.
go! Take Better Photos is an online photography course run by popular South African lifestyle magazine, go!Photography is a fundamental pillar of this monthly publication covering a wide range of travel and outdoor lifestyle topics. With this in mind, the go! team created an online training course that enables their audience to master the basic principles of digital photography while growing in confidence as a photographer.Take Better Photos consists of six modules, with connected lessons relating to each module. Students who enroll can start at any time and from anywhere. After finishing each lesson, they must complete an accompanying quiz to progress. Once they pass the course, students receive a certificate of completion and are encouraged to submit their work for publication consideration.“Thanks to the power of the Storefront theme and the WooCommerce and Sensei plugins, we were able to build this fully-fledged learning platform, allowing the client to focus on creating, managing, and uploading their content.”South African WooExperts, LightSpeed, came on board to build the site for this online course – a key step to bring everything together and make Take Better Photos a reality.“We used the Sensei learner management solution combined with WooCommerce, and built the site with the Storefront theme,” explains Ashley Shaw, Lightspeed’s founder and CEO.“Storefront was compatible with Sensei LMS and WooCommerce out the box, so we focused on showcasing the imagery on the homepage and creating a simple solution for the client so that they could manage and upload their own content.”With only being one product sold – the course – Lightspeed chose to bypass the cart phase of checkout. Instead, the product is automatically added to the cart when customers sign up, and they are directed straight to checkout for payment.
African Safaris is a local travel agency attracting mainly international customers. They assist clients in finding a tour or accommodation tailor-made to suit their needs. Their head offices are in New York with consultants working across Africa. We integrated African Safari Consultants’ website with TourPlan, a program for tour operators providing accurate accommodation prices. They store live room rates for thousands of accommodations throughout Africa. We found a solution that allowed us to pull through the rooms and rates that are available. The room rates go into a single accommodation screen allowing users to then do a price rate search for the dates that they are interested in. This functionality also works with switching currencies and we were therefore able to bring through multiple currency rates.

We approached LightSpeed because we needed a WooCommerce payment gateway plugin developed for the PayOn payments platform. From the outset LightSpeed made our selection of a development company easy with their friendliness and assistance with requirements gathering. The result was a plugin that was stable, robust, fast and did not cost us an arm and a leg. One thing I liked was their agile approach to development which I’m sure led to a better product delivered. Overall I found the experience to be fast, efficient and cost effective. Would do business with them again any day.
We hired LightSpeed to vastly improve on a website which was not performing at all. The LightSpeed team assisted me effortlessly; understood our needs quickly and offered us intelligent solutions which made complete business sense. The website was built on top of WooCommerce, which turned out to be perfect for housing luxury villa rental listings. The result is not only a site which is performing better than expected, but is beautiful, simple and unique. Everything we were hoping for an more. I would recommend LightSpeed to any company, big or small, looking to improve on the user experience and look of their website.
