Beer With Kyle - Rethinking the Core Training Design

Hey Everyone,
Today I’m walking you through the new core training module in the Wealthy Affiliate beta UX. I’ll show how it works and get your feedback.

Beer of the Week

First thing's first though, this week’s beer is the Berliner Pilsner by Howl Brewing, an indie small-batch brewery in Esquimalt, BC. It pours clear like a classic pilsner and tastes crisp with subtle fruit notes, surprisingly tasty for a small-batch experiment.

New Core Training Module

We’ve redesigned the core training experience to make it more intuitive:

• Direct Access: Core training is no longer hidden inside a hub. Now, when you click Core Training, you land immediately on your next lesson.
• Phase Layout: Training is organized into Phase One, Phase Two, and Phase Three. Each lesson appears in sequence, and checking off a lesson marks it complete.
• Resume Where You Left Off: Returning to the core training will take you back to the last unchecked lesson—so you never lose your place.
• Reset Option (Coming Soon): You’ll be able to reset your training progress if you launch a new website or hub, making it easy to start fresh on subsequent projects.

Improved Create Module

At the top you’ll see the Create module, where you can quickly post questions, create blog posts, or access drafts. We’re still refining the color scheme and layout to encourage more content creation.

Mobile Experience

Though I’m demoing on desktop, the mobile design is a major focus. Expect a sleek, intuitive experience on phones and tablets when the beta goes live.

Join the Beta & Share Feedback

We’re aiming for a mid-May release. Until then, I’d love your thoughts on:

1. The direct-access core training layout
2. The phase-based lesson structure
3. The upcoming reset feature
4. The new design of the core training (and menu) as well as the create module design
