Redefining Riverside
Learning Centre

RLC (Part of Riverside School) is a design-led learning lab that inspires school
leaders to reimagine education.
We partnered with them to conduct a deep audit and redesign of their website to clearly reflect its global, design thinking-led education mission.

Scope:
UX Research • UI/UX Design • Content Strategy • Project Coordination
Duration:
12 weeks

The Challenge

RLC’s website was facing low user engagement, and the existing website no longer aligned with their newly defined brand tone and visual guidelines. The goal was to identify usability gaps, improve clarity and navigation, and redesign the experience to feel more engaging, intuitive, and on-brand.

The homepage was unable to capture attention immediately and lacked engaging content below the hero, making it hard for users to quickly understand where to go or what to explore next.

Our Approach

Our approach addressed low engagement and misalignment with RLC’s evolving brand. We conducted a heuristic evaluation, user research, and competitive benchmarking to identify key gaps, then translated insights into a prioritized redesign through iterative wireframing and full-site UI design. The final experience aligned with RLC’s brand tone, leveraged a scalable design system, and was implemented collaboratively with the client and development team.

The Outcome

The redesign resulted in a cohesive experience that clearly aligns with RLC’s new brand vision and evolved educational philosophy. Navigation and information hierarchy were simplified across devices, improving overall clarity and usability for users across key journeys. The project was successfully handed off and implemented in close collaboration with the development team, ensuring design intent was maintained through build.
