SSI Learning Platform
Designing a Modern Expert-Led Course Experience
Project Overview
SSI (Skill & Success Institute) is an online learning platform offering expert-led professional courses. The objective was to design a structured, trustworthy, and conversion-focused educational website that helps users easily discover courses, build trust, and enroll seamlessly.
Problem Statement
The challenge was to design a platform that:
Primary goals were to:
- Clearly communicates credibility and expertise
- Simplifies course discovery
- Encourages user enrollment
- Highlights trust indicators and partnerships
- Feels modern, structured, and scalable
Many education platforms overwhelm users with cluttered layouts and unclear hierarchy. The goal was to design a clean and intuitive experience that builds confidence from the first scroll.
Research & Strategy
I analyzed leading e-learning platforms to understand:
- How courses are categorized
- How trust is established (partners, stats, testimonials)
- How CTAs are positioned for better conversion
- Layout patterns that improve scanning behavior
Key insights:
- Strong hero section with clear value proposition
- Trust indicators immediately visible
- Structured course grid for clarity
- Data-backed statistics to build authority
- Testimonials to increase credibility
Visual Design & UI Solutions
