Creating different experiences based on age, country & more

Hi! I am trying to create as personalized a website and experience as possible. As you know, when someone signs up for Wix, an Account Settings page is automatically created. You can then create the Profile page and a Custom Member page. Let’s say this Custom Member page is www.site.com/personalpage. I have coded it so whoever the logged-in member is, they see their own profile picture and their own name, instead of a default. This is what the girl “magnolia” sees (her member page) when she clicks the “Me” button at the lower left menu.

Now, here is my question: during the sign-up process, people choose whether they are a baby (with their parents signing up for them, of course), a child, a teenager, an adult, etc. So, I would like each person, based on their age, to have a different custom member page, displaying different things, but I am not sure how. The adult member page would have more sophisticated writing, and display different images, pages and links than the child page. I have a Clothes section, so the Baby page would display diapers and baby clothes, for example, while the Adult page might display jeans and adult-size fancy shoes.

I know that the first recommendation would probably be to create dynamic pages. However, I see a couple problems with this.

  1. I think I would need to manually create all the personalized pages after they sign up, which would be way too much work to keep doing. www.website.com/kids/magnolia www.website.com/kids/peter www.website.com/adults/jake and so on.

  2. I want them to be able to click the “Me” button in that bottom left menu and instantly go to their personalized page. I don’t see how this would even be possible with dynamic pages, since the button link would need to keep changing based on the user.

So, to summarize: I want to create a custom personalized member page that has different content based on who the member is (age, country, etc). I want the “Me” button to automatically take the member to this personalized page. However, if I used dynamic pages rather than the automatic Wix Custom Member Page, 1) it would be too much work I think as more and more people sign up 2) I would have the problem of the “Me” button not knowing where to direct the member.

THANK YOU.

Austin :wink:

you dont need a page per member. keep the one personal page, save the age group at signup, and on load show/hide sections based on that field, so the Me button always points to the same url.

Oh my gosh, thank you for answering Rachel!!! Could you please be more detailed about your answer? How do I “save the age group at signup”? And then how do I actually do that “on load show/hide sections based on that field”? These are things that sound good but unfortunately I don’t know how to do. :sweat_smile:

I think this is related to my other question as well, so, bumping. It would be great to have answers for both. Thank you everyone. :slight_smile: I think I’m one of the minority who thinks Wix is actually pretty awesome. :grin:
