UT Academy
WordPress website for an education platform, implemented from a client‑provided PSD design and structured around courses, programs, and student information. Built as a custom theme focused on clean course pages and a straightforward enquiry/enrolment flow.
WordPress website based on provided design files, implemented and structured for a live education project.
Project background
UT Academy needed a website to present its educational programs and courses in a clear, structured way, with an emphasis on credibility and easy access to practical information for students. The goal was to turn a static PSD design into a working WordPress site that could grow together with the academy’s offerings.
The site had to feel like a modern education platform, but still remain straightforward to manage for the internal team, without relying on a heavy visual builder or generic theme.
The challenge
The client brought a finished visual design in PSD, so the main challenge was to reproduce that design pixel‑accurately in the browser while at the same time making the content fully editable from the WordPress admin. It was also important to build a flexible page structure: individual courses, categories, and informational pages all had slightly different layouts and content blocks that needed to be reusable.
On top of this, the site needed to support a clear user path from discovering a course, through reading the details, to submitting an enquiry or application, without overwhelming the visitor.
What I worked on
- Development of a custom WordPress theme based on the PSD design, including templates for the homepage, course lists, individual course pages, and static information pages.
- Front‑end implementation of all layouts with attention to typography, spacing, and responsive behavior so that the site looked consistent with the original design on desktop and mobile.
- Content structure for courses and programs: reusable blocks for descriptions, key facts, schedules, requirements, and calls‑to‑action, so the team could add new courses without changing the code.
- Setup of basic enquiry or enrolment flows (forms, links, calls‑to‑action) that connect visitors directly to the academy’s team.
- Technical configuration of WordPress (theme options, custom fields where needed) to make day‑to‑day content editing as simple as possible for non‑technical staff.
The focus was on a functional educational site that looks like the original design, but works as a maintainable WordPress project rather than a one‑off static layout.
Selected screens
Key screens include the homepage introducing the academy and its main programs, course list pages that group courses by direction or level, and detailed course pages with structured information and enrolment prompts. Together they show how the design was implemented in a way that keeps navigation simple and helps visitors quickly understand what each program offers.
Support and continuous improvement
My role on this project was concentrated on the implementation phase: turning the PSD into a custom WordPress theme, configuring the site, and handing it over to the client’s team. After launch, the project lived on the client’s side; I am no longer involved in ongoing maintenance, and the active development period was roughly between 2017 and 2019.
