Process
Where to start
Andy, the founder of English with Cooke, and I built a social media brand together. We started with just 265 followers and grew it to 1.9 million across all platforms.
As the audience grew, Andy noticed that many people were messaging him directly about learning platforms. They were asking where they could study English or if he had a product. That’s when we decided to create a Grammar course. I worked with him to build it completely from scratch.
Benchmarking
I had a look at competitors. The biggest problem with the competitors' sites was that there was so much visual noise. You go to the site, and everything is on one screen
For a person who doesn't speak English, it could be overwhelming. It was my hypothesis, and I started to check it through the user interviews
User interviews
You go to the site, and everything is on one screen. For a person who doesn't speak English, it could be overwhelming. Luckily, I have a lot of friends who don't speak English,
so I checked it with them, and they confirmed my hypothesis.
(I promise, no leading questions were used.)
Insights
For people, it is important to know the answers to all of these questions, which I discovered in an interview.
Based on the interview, I've prepared all the questions that users can have about the brand and the product in general. It helped me identify important areas that should be considered in my future design. It also prevented me from forgetting anything.
Information Architecture
The testing phase was complete, and the wireframe was finalised.
The next step was to gather visual references.
I then created the color scheme. Designed the logotype, making sure both elements were consistent with the brand identity.

Visual details
Once the testing phase was completed and the wireframe was selected, the next step was to gather visual references.
I then developed the color scheme and designed the logotype, ensuring they aligned with the overall brand identity.
Post launch
After launch, I noticed users were paying but then clicking Thinkific’s (course platform) “Subscribe” button instead of registering.
This caused:
Manual enrollment for every student
Frustration because users couldn’t access courses instantly
My Solution
Redesigned the post-purchase page with a clear headline and “Register Now” CTA
Removed confusing links from Thinkific landing page
Added a 3-step visual guide (Pay → Register → Start Learning)
Tested with new users — 100% registered successfully
Final result
I built a site which allows Andy to have an automation process for new students and people who are buying his product.
Created adaptive version for all type of devices
I increased the comfort of usability and made it easy and pleasant for both the business and users to use.
