Project Brief

MOD1 is a Swiss consulting business offering online training courses and certifications in cybersecurity, data protection, and privacy. Backed by respected industry bodies, their content is trusted—but their website wasn’t reflecting that. The existing WordPress site served only as an informational platform, with no real structure for transactions or course exploration. I migrated the entire operation to Shopify, turning the website into a fully functional e-commerce site where users can browse, filter, and purchase training programs. From a robust filtering system to metadata-rich product pages and a clean, navigable interface, the focus was on making the user experience as strong as the certifications themselves.

Project Goals & Strategy Overview

The project aimed to make MOD1’s platform more actionable and scalable—turning visitors into customers while simplifying navigation through complex course content.

E-Commerce Transformation

Shift from a static site to a transactional, conversion-focused platform.

Advanced UX for Course Browsing

Enable users to filter by course date, certification type, language, and more.

Detail-Rich Product Pages

Organize extensive course metadata using dropdowns and smart layouts.
Step 1

Platform Audit & Migration Planning

Mapped out all course data, page content, and user flows from the WordPress site. Created a migration plan with Shopify structure in mind.

Step 2

Catalog Structure & Filtering System

Developed a clean, filterable course catalog that allows users to browse by date, type, language, and certification—making it easy to find the right program.

Step 3

Product Page Buildout

Each course page was designed to handle heavy metadata without overwhelming the user. I used accordion dropdowns and clean layouts to organize the information.

Step 4

UX & Subscription Setup

Implemented a subscription model where applicable, fine-tuned the navigation and checkout, and ensured mobile responsiveness for all content.
