Challenge

Many students struggle to hire the right tutor. Although the desire to enter the university is strong, finding a teacher who can help is a common headache.

What you need is a space with top-notch educators sharing their knowledge. So, learning must be effective and engaging, pushing you towards goals and beyond. That’s the dream, isn’t it?

Keep the focus on what really matters

We explored the existing website to make it better and more user-friendly. Our main mission was to ensure that visitors could find what they needed easily, from browsing guides to filling out forms without a hitch.

Our team also kept an eye on competitors. We examined who visits them, from where, and for how long. With statistical data — traffic and engagement metrics — we got some insights that informed every decision we made.

A leap in digital education through design ideas

__wf_reserved_inherit
Concept 1: Clean precision

For this concept, we used a more traditional block structure. The result is a restrained and serious feel with a touch of elegance through carefully placed accents such as headlines, large numbers, and minimalist photography.

Concept 2: Fresh experimentation

We infused the design with maximum freshness through the use of vibrant, trendy colors that feel friendly and contemporary. The standout element of this concept was the right font, which underlined the project’s uniqueness. This experimental approach married boldness with innovation to convey the atmosphere of an elite platform.

Cool and easy learning with a chill vibe

To create a teen-friendly vibe, our designers added high-quality photos of students. We placed an image of a girl with a laptop to highlight that learning today is flexible, allowing to study from anywhere and on any device.

In the final design, we focused on a clean look with a standout CTA against a white background. Next to the button, our team attached a website rating feature to show users they can trust and rely on this service.

Tools and technologies for website efficiency

TutorChase’s website, with numerous subject and exam pages, required an easy-to-use management system. That’s why we focused on search navigation, making it more user-friendly and accessible to operate from the client’s side.

To identify the most effective and scalable solutions, we took into account factors like performance, developer experience, and future maintenance. Everything pointed to Sanity CMS and Next.js, which our team stuck with.

Check-in before the initial launch process

To check that the workflow is going in the right direction, we deployed MVP. The Halo Lab team launched a core feature set of a homepage, tutor page, and subject search page to get feedback from initial users.

Thanks to these efforts, we identified areas for refinement and improvement. All in all, it was a strategic move that set the stage for future enhancements based on actual user needs and preferences.

Squashing bugs and double-checking fixes

The testing process began two weeks before the release and continued for a week after. We explored various scenarios, such as handling errors, incomplete information submission, and user actions contradicting the website’s logic.

While our team identified and fixed bugs, the specialist retested each to confirm the website worked smoothly. This approach improved the project’s performance and reduced risks as we thoroughly covered all potential issues.

Go live-date with no hiccups in sight

Recognizing the complexities of the website’s functionality, especially its vast databases, our team prepared rollback plans in case the release encountered technical issues.

We understood the importance of precision for the trouble-free operation of the site. Fortunately, the launch was smooth and successful, with all systems functioning flawlessly.

Halo Lab is still hands-on with TutorChase

Our collaboration with TutorChase didn’t end with the project release. After a successful launch, we’ve been actively assisting the website. Halo Lab experts checked if everything was working well and didn’t need any adjustments.

Whenever a client needs help, our team studies requests and gets to work without hesitation. Currently, we’re focused on expanding the platform’s functionality to provide more features for both users and teachers.

We collaborated with Halo Lab to design and develop a new website for our online education company. We were very pleased with the result and have begun working with them on another software development project. They manage tasks well, communicate regularly, and we are always on the same page. The team is personable, professional, and innovative.
