Certiport

My role at Certiport

Certiport brought me on board to revamp their previous global student competition websites.

Certiport enlisted me to redesign their global student competition websites, aligning them with a new one-page microsite layout I proposed. I recommended a streamlined approach, consolidating all essential information onto a single page with intuitive links and downloadable documents. These templates will serve as the foundation for future competition websites, including those for Microsoft, Adobe, and Autodesk student competitions.

Team

The team is primarily myself, contracted to create the three sites. I received content, images, and requirements  from Certiport staff  for proper placement and layout.

Strategy

The approach focused on creating a one-page CMS site designed to engage students while avoiding information overload. The goal was to emphasize the fun and inclusive nature of the competition, reinforcing that everyone is a winner, regardless of the outcome. The site was also designed to be responsive and easy to update in the future. To achieve this, I researched various WordPress themes and developed sketches, wireframes, frameworks, and prototypes based on the selected theme that best suited the project’s objectives.

Planning

After creating multiple wireframes, mockups, and prototypes, I submitted the designs to the QA team and stakeholders for review. Frequent adjustments were required due to ongoing updates from three different sources related to the competition. However, thanks to the use of a robust WordPress theme, implementing these changes and updates was quick and seamless.
