About the project

Strate, a school belonging to the Galiléo educational group, expressed the need for a new website to consolidate its position as a premium school on the French education market. In addition to an essential refresh, the website required an update of its technical infrastructure and a migration to Drupal 4.

The problems addressed

Our main mission was to reconcile the positioning of Strate, a leader in industrial design training, and the experience lived on its website by responding to 4 fundamental problems:

01
Target audiences that are poorly understood and studied

The lack of knowledge about the expectations and needs of the public on the school site did not make it possible to optimize the experience.

02
A wide range of courses that are not easy to read

The structuring of the offer and the way of presenting the training courses provided did not allow users to grasp all the value.

03
Heavy and complex navigation

The experience of browsing the site offered numerous opportunities for the user to get lost or to miss out on the right information.

04
A graphic charter that is not well adapted to digital

Very impacting on its sprint supports, the identity of the school needed to be adapted to maintain its character and impact.

The challenges of the project

The redesign of the Strate site also committed us to meeting the needs of Galiléo, the group to which the school belongs:

01
Meeting conversion goals

The main objective of the redesign was to encourage the enrollment of future students.

02
Protecting the school's high performance SEO

The redesign of the site should in no way disrupt the work that had been done on SEO.

03
Adapting to technical constraints

We needed to offer interfaces and interactions compatible with Drupal 4 technology.

04
Give credibility to the premium nature of the school

By honoring the profession of designer through a creative, immersive and efficient experience.

A second wind

The Strate site had not been updated since its inception. To reconcile the lived user experience and the school's premium positioning, the site needed a new look.

First, graphically, to bring the school's identity to life on its website and to offer a coherent and pleasant visual experience to its visitors. But also, and above all, to improve ergonomics and navigation on all routes and thus meet the needs of its target audiences.
