Okay So Picture This:

i'm a tutor/content creator. I want to sell courses, manage everything from a single place, create a professional website, and market courses.

🧑🏼‍💻

While researching, I came across a few platforms, including Learnyst. On paper, Learnyst had everything I needed.

The website felt... outdated. It didn’t inspire confidence or match the high standards I was expecting from such a robust platform. I decided to put Learnyst on my "maybe later" list.

😀

After trying their platform, I realized it was amazing—only the website didn’t do justice to it. Later, a tutor friend told me they skipped Learnyst for the same reason.

The Learnyst website felt outdated, which didn’t reflect the platform’s true potential. A redesign was essential to build trust, attract more tutors, and ensure the website matched the quality of the product.

Choosing Framer Over Webflow

Choosing Framer Over Webflow

We chose Framer because of its easy-to-use and intuitive UI, making it perfect for our marketing team to manage the website post-release. Stakeholders preferred a solution that didn’t require a designer’s involvement unless there was a major change or issue. Considering these factors, I suggested Framer as the ideal option, and we decided to go with it.

The previous Learnyst website had an outdated design that didn’t reflect the modern, robust platform behind it. The visuals lacked consistency, and the overall layout felt cluttered and uninspiring, failing to convey trust or engage users effectively.

Takeaways

Takeaways

  1. Top performers' websites are solution-oriented. From the navigation bar to the footer, they are more focused on providing solutions rather than showcasing their features.

  2. We need to showcase the student experience/learner side, which is something no other website is currently doing.

  3. Our website has a lot of buttons without clear intentions. Other websites have placed buttons only where necessary.

  4. Videos are more engaging than images with statistics.

  5. Some are giving short surveys in pricing page.

  6. Recommended blogs under each feature/solution section.

  7. Example courses of our clients can be shown.

Information Architecture

To ensure a seamless user experience, I restructured the website’s information architecture. The goal was to create a logical and intuitive navigation flow, making it easier for users to find key information and explore Learnyst’s features effortlessly.

Building Design System in Framer

Building Design System in Framer

Since we were building the website from scratch in Framer, I had to create the design system within the platform. I made a few minor updates, such as switching the font to Inter for improved readability and adding six new colors to Learnyst’s color palette. For iconography, I chose Phosphor icons. Apart from these changes, we retained most elements from the existing design system.

Designing Mega Menu

Designing Mega Menu

The old navigation was feature-oriented, which made it harder for users to understand how Learnyst could help them. I redesigned it to be solution-oriented, making navigation more intuitive and user-friendly.


Key Improvements:

Solution-Based Categorization – Instead of just listing features, I structured the menu around user needs, answering questions like “What can you sell?” and “How can you market effectively?”.
Industry-Specific Solutions – Created a dedicated category for different industries, making it easier for users to find relevant use cases.
Resource Hub – Consolidated all downloadable materials into a single Resources section for easy access.

Everything was built entirely in Framer with zero coding, ensuring flexibility for the marketing team to manage updates effortlessly.

Commonly Used Sections

Once the mega menu was sorted, I took a step back and thought—What are the sections we’ll keep reusing across the site? Instead of designing pages one by one, I decided to first build the most commonly used sections like testimonials, "Get Started" prompts, hero sections, and feature explanations.

By designing these upfront, I could maintain consistency and speed up the process. Plus, it made assembling the rest of the website feel like putting together LEGO pieces—quick, efficient, and seamless!

Engaging Users with Storytelling & Interactivity

Engaging Users with Storytelling & Interactivity

With all the common sections in place, it was time to tackle the Features page. But instead of just listing features in a boring way, I wanted to make it engaging, interactive, and storytelling-driven—so users stay hooked and naturally explore more.

Here’s how I structured it:
🎥 Intro Video – A quick overview of the feature to grab attention.
🛠️ What You Can Do – Showcasing all the possibilities with the feature.
🖱️ Interactive Demo – Let users experience the feature firsthand.
🚀 Deep Dive – The rest of the page explains the feature in detail.

To highlight Learnyst’s unique strengths, I also added a dedicated section for six standout features and the best features overall. And of course, everything was designed to naturally guide users to related pages, keeping them engaged throughout!

Using CMS for Flexibility

Using CMS for Flexibility

Since the marketing team would be managing the website, I integrated Framer CMS to make their workflow seamless. Now, instead of manually editing pages, they can simply upload resources, add a title, and enter a description—and the page updates automatically.

This not only saves time but also ensures the website stays fresh with minimal effort. Below, you’ll find images showing how CMS was set up and how the page updates dynamically. 🚀

Designing the Pricing Page

Designing the Pricing Page

Designing the pricing page was a huge task—it involved creating detailed tables, multiple components, and ensuring flexibility for frequent price changes. Our stakeholders wanted the ability to tweak pricing multiple times a month to test the market, so we built a dynamic pricing component that makes updates super easy.

To take it a step further, we’re now working on integrating Notion with Framer. Once set up, any updates made in the Notion database will automatically reflect on the website—no manual edits needed! This feature will be rolled out in Version 2 of the website.

Below, you can check out the final pricing table design. 🚀

Website Release

After designing all the sections and pages, we were finally ready to launch Version 1 of the Learnyst website! 🚀 This version focused on improving navigation, structuring key sections, and ensuring a smooth user experience.

For Version 2, we plan to enhance the website further by refining images, adding more videos, and updating minor sections to make it even more engaging.

Sweet Ending

After launching the new website, we saw a significant increase in traffic, sales, SEO rankings, and site performance. Everything improved compared to the old website, and the ROI on this project was much higher than expected. While I can't share exact numbers, the results spoke for themselves.

On a personal note, this project was a huge learning experience for me. It was my first project as a lead, where I handled everything from start to finish. It pushed me to think strategically, manage multiple aspects of design, and create something impactful.

Excited for more challenges ahead—thanks for reading! See you in the next case study. 🚀
