The Problem
Our client, Outschool, approached us with a half-finished Figma design and web page template that required building. While they already had a main website, the virtual learning platform also needed a knowledge hub to train new teachers and provide easily-accessible resources. Thanks to our extensive experience with various rescue and design projects, Outschool chose Idea Maker to handle their new pages.
Our Solution
We evaluated the progress our client had already made, reviewing Figma assets and the Outschool website to better understand their brand and how the new pages would interact with their existing site. We then transferred their new page design from Google Sites and recreated it in Figma with their existing designs to develop an interactive prototype. Finally, by leveraging our expertise in building fluid, high-speed WordPress sites, we successfully developed their new Knowledge Hub with several additional pages.
What We Did
We tasked one of our top designers with hooking up Outschool’s Figma design, creating an interactive prototype to share with their senior team. This allowed the Outschool team to accurately visualize the website’s functionality and interface, ensuring valuable development feedback.
When designing Outschool’s Knowledge Hub, we kept users in mind. By taking a user-first approach, we created a fluid user interface that provides a positive, pain-free experience and ensures easy access to teaching resources and learning materials.
We used WordPress to build the Outschool Knowledge Hub, as it provides an easy-to-use content management system that enables our client to make content changes themselves.

Project Manager
Idea Maker's portfolio is what drew us in. Their design style was in alignment with what we were after. We had initial consultations with 3 companies that we had narrowed it down to. Once we had our initial meeting with Tom at Idea Maker we knew we had the right choice to make. Their communication style works well for us.

I have never had a site like this built before. I felt that Idea Maker and Tom had built numerous sites like this, and they were pros.

This is a boutique development firm where the Founder is directly involved with the project and the primary contact. This is unlike many development firms where you are simply handed off to developers that are not stakeholders. This is an important distinction that results in much better project accountability.
John Larkin
CEO, Advance CPE
The way they understand the requirements we present to them is fairly solid. Both in terms of bringing their own interpretation in nailing the requirements and their design sense. By the time we launched, I had gotten significantly more value from our collaboration than what we had discussed in the original specs.
