The problem
DT+ faced challenges in presenting content efficiently to various users, complicating the user experience and increasing operational complexity. The platform required a consistent, intuitive interface for users to easily find and utilise the diverse range of educational content.
The objective
The primary goal was to rework the user experience by simplifying the presentation of content, creating a consistent interface for all users, and ensuring accessibility. This included developing a comprehensive design system and front-end framework to enhance usability and appeal to a broader audience.
