UX Research
The current website is fun and informative, however the flow and navigation are complicated and contain too many steps and variances.
Redesign EduTravel for Credit website and create a better experience for the core user by simplifying the content hierarchy, navigation flow and item accessibility.
All this while reflecting the aesthetics and philosophies of their consumers and ultimately increasing the customer conversion rate and overall online bookings — specifically ; A Home, About, Programs and Course page.
Create a new navigation menu design.
Narrow down the design language to address the needs of our target audience.
Provide users with more direct access to relevant information.
We found that the target user cared most about the educational advancement goals, curriculum info and course destinations.
Our research targeted high school students and their parents. From this research we confirmed the parents were the key decision makers while the students were more the encouragers and information sharers. This led us to focus the design on being visually attractive for the students and informational and easy to use for the parents.

Easy to find program info via multiple paths such as the Home page, Top Level Navigation and program pages. Good presentation and organization of essential information
Now that we confirmed what works, we moved on to producing a Minimum Viable Product.
Home Page
We tackled our initial challenge. by simplifying the navigation and showcasing the most important information directly on the home page.
About Us
The About Us page directly tackled the issue of trust that many users had with these types of organizations.
Information on EduTravel was cleanly laid out and easy to access.
Courses
Via our research, we identified which courses were most popular with users and prioritized them visually.
Course selections can be narrowed down via the drop down filters. These filters are based on the criteria the user finds more relevant in making their decisions.
Our colours and visual design elements established the branding and identity creating the right mood for the user.
The design needed to showcase a feeling of fun, excitement, freedom and professionalism. The mood and branding needed to reflect this spirit to the user. From the imagery and colours to the shapes and fonts, we developed the project to be in line with the core elements of the brand identity.
We set out to achieve the goal of creating a responsive website that would showcase the experiences EduTravel was offering. Through research we narrowed down what, why and how our user interacted with the product. Through design we implemented this knowledge and created a fun, attractive, and informative product.
