Our client, the British Council, needed a modern, responsive website to promote their English language tests effectively. Our team helped by developing a comprehensive CX strategy and design, including UX/UI enhancements. Computools assisted in revitalising and optimising the platform, which resulted in a user-friendly, efficient website that improved user engagement and increased test registrations.
The client is a prominent organisation that aims to promote British culture and values globally. With a reach that extends to over 100 countries, they reach 650 million people each year. Employing a workforce of more than 7,000 dedicated full-time employees, this organisation is committed to fostering cultural exchange, educational opportunities, and intercultural relations.
The British Council wanted a modern, responsive design and improved user experience. Also, they needed to consolidate resources for the IELTS English proficiency test. The presence of unofficial test materials negatively impacted their brand reputation, prompting the need for a strategic approach to resource consolidation.
Additionally, the lack of clear guidance for test preparation, progress tracking, and readiness was a concern. The client recognised the need for a user-friendly, structured solution to streamline the test preparation process.
Computools undertook a digital transformation project to revitalise and optimise the website. The solution included user research to understand user needs, service design to enhance user experience, portal development for content delivery, website hosting set-up, and analytics integration. The result was a responsive, user-friendly platform that met the British Council’s branding requirements and significantly increased revenue, user throughput, and process automation.
Our primary mission was to provide candidates with a streamlined and structured pathway for test preparation, offering essential resources such as PDF files and webinar videos. We established a user-friendly WordPress platform as the host to facilitate easy access to educational materials, simplifying navigation and accessibility for candidates. Additionally, we implemented critical search engine optimisation (SEO) techniques to enhance the portal’s visibility and accessibility, ensuring it reached wider audience.
We integrated comprehensive user analytics into the platform, generating in-depth reports that provided valuable insights into user behaviour and preferences, helping to refine the user experience. We also implemented an email notification system to enhance communication with users, ensuring they received important updates and information promptly.
Our overarching goal was to simplify and improve the test preparation process, offering a valuable resource for candidates. This project underscored the client’s commitment to educational excellence and our dedication in helping them succeed in their mission.
As a result of this project, the client successfully launched a web portal that simplified IELTS test preparation. We optimised landing pages, implemented SEO strategies, and enhanced resource editing, and now this portal offers essential educational resources. The impact is notable, with a significant 42% increase in the number of tests administered globally in 2022, as compared with 2018.
Computools was selected as the ideal partner for this project for several reasons:

Since this project required quick implementation and thorough testing, it was decided to choose Scrum as the project methodology. It allows project participants to adjust their activities in response to situations that arise during the project management process. Scrum consists of three roles: the product owner, the Scrum Master and the team. The sprint process provides development that results in a scalable product even while the project is in full swing. This incremental delivery system shortens the time to market and may result in higher revenue, as each completed backlog represents a new product release. In addition, reviewing each sprint before moving to the next means that testing is conducted throughout the process, which allows teams to change the scope or direction of the project at any point.

A client that provided education services in Sweden approached us with a problem: its existing learning systems were outdated and didn’t meet modern requirements. This led to a decrease in user engagement, which had a negative impact on the company’s business performance. The company needed a CTO with expertise in the field to solve issues throughout the project and implement multiple solutions at the same time.
The CTO suggested developing a new learning platform that would meet all of the client’s needs. The platform had to be easy to use, flexible and scalable. Here are some specific examples of how the new platform helped Learnster solve its business problems:
Platform users can create and manage training courses, access learning materials from any device, and personalise their learning experience. The platform also integrates with a wide range of HR systems and standards, seamlessly aligning with existing organisational workflows.
The Learnster educational platform provides great consumer opportunities, high satisfaction and a convenient user journey. While working on the project, the CTO applied his experience and skills to reduce time to market and ensure the stable operation of the platform at high loads. Introducing a finished educational platform has allowed the client to increase profits and consumer conversion.
Several key issues the CTO from Computools solved:
Computools has a successful track record of developing and implementing LMS solutions for a wide range of clients. Our CTO as a Service had the necessary skills and experience to create a platform that met the client’s requirements.
Learnster is a project with high demand for the proposed service, but it needed a high level of customisation. The company searched for a CTO who would provide wide capabilities for the platform.
