Wellington Duarte - LearnDash Developer UK

About Me

Wellington Duarte

Hi! 👋 I’m Wellington Duarte, a LearnDash developer specializing in custom LMS development for UK businesses.

Whether you need to build a new LearnDash platform from scratch, customize an existing one, or integrate complex features like SCORM, BuddyBoss, or custom quizzes, I can help. Over 6 years, I’ve helped more than 42  companies launch and scale their online learning platforms.

I ensure that your LearnDash platform complies with essential UK requirements, including the UK GDPR, ICO guidelines, accessibility, VAT integration with WooCommerce, custom design, and general compliance requirements.

As well as creating a bespoke, well-designed and functional course platform for your company, school, or university, I ensure that your platform complies with both UK and European standards.

Let's Work Together!

Testimonials

"Wellington got his head around the project requirements very quickly and provided me with a cost effective solution. He was very responsive throughout. Thank you !"
Julian
LearnDash Fix & Simplification (Enrollment, Dashboard, Results)
"Working with Wellington on our Gamification and Rewards Programme was one of the best decisions we made for the platform. We had the concept mapped out internally for a while but needed an expert to validate and sharpen our thinking around Points, Achievements, Levels, Streaks, and Leaderboards. Wellington didn't just help us nail the mechanics — he pushed us to think beyond the obvious and explore intrinsic motivators like Status, Access, and Influence, and how to weave those into the overall user experience. He also brought real depth to the storytelling side, helping us build a narrative that gave the whole programme genuine purpose. Highly recommend Wellington if you're building a gamification strategy that actually holds up."
Daniel Hartley
Co-founder, ProProgress Learning (corporate employee training platform)
"I can't recommend Wellington and his team at SJS Web Design highly enough. We came to him with an ambitious but loosely defined brief, and he helped us shape, refine, and launch our platform in a fraction of the time I expected — while genuinely improving on our original vision. The team built a full WordPress membership platform using BuddyBoss, LearnDash, WooCommerce, and JetEngine, and went well beyond that integrating third-party tools alongside some custom-built features specific to our business. The technical delivery was exceptional, but what really stood out was Wellington's strategic input. He engaged with us as a business owner, not just a developer — recognising our strengths, calling out the gaps, and helping us think more clearly about our own model. Available, thorough, and communicative from start to finish. We'll absolutely be back."
Rachel Okonkwo
Founder, Elevate Collective (online coaching and community membership platform)
