The project wasn’t about redesigning from scratch—it was about evolving an already established platform without breaking what worked.

Key challenges included:

• Expanding the website with new program pages for destinations and student experiences
• Improving navigation as content continued to grow
• Adding interactive features to support user decision-making
• Maintaining full visual and structural consistency with the existing brand

Goal

Create a scalable, user-friendly experience that makes it easier for students and families to explore, compare, and understand available travel programs—without disrupting the current design system.

My Role

I worked as the developer responsible for both front-end structure and custom functionality, using:

• WordPress + Elementor for layout and page building
• PHP for backend customization
• JavaScript for dynamic interactions
• Custom CSS for design refinement and responsiveness

Process

I approached the project with a focus on modularity and long-term scalability:

• Built new, flexible program pages in Elementor tailored to different destinations and study experiences
• Developed custom PHP and JavaScript features to support dynamic content and improved user interaction
• Refined UI components with custom CSS to ensure consistency across all new and existing pages
• Restructured content layouts to improve clarity and readability for users comparing options
• Ensured all additions aligned seamlessly with the existing design system
