Although we were driving targeted, qualified traffic to the site, we noticed that users were not registering for their diploma courses. We Initiated landing page tests to improve CR and call quality. This included new imagery, form layouts and copy. Conversion rates increased dramatically, which convinced PTI that we should redesign and build a new website. We wanted to make sure we built a site would improve conversions, and the best way to ensure this was through UX/UI testing.
To tackle our conversion rate issue, we began with an analytics deep dive followed by usability tests using both users who were not aware of the site, as well as Premier Global’s current and recent students. We held one-to-one sessions in which they completed basic tasks, while we recording their thoughts. This was then supplemented with anonymous session recordings and heatmaps to produce a report and plan for improvement.
Our designs for the new site use harsh diagonals, bright colours and bold fonts to make the website stand apart from the competition. Insights from the usability study were incorporated in the form of a restructured navigation and a significantly shorter user journey allowing for greater ease of use and a clearer focus on conversion points.
The site itself was a complex build in a short timeframe, so we opted for an agile strategy. This allowed our front-end designers to complete the design and build of each website section, while our developers worked on building our own account, cart and checkout system. This was all completed using the WordPress CMS, chosen due to its adaptability and ease of use, and linked to Premier Global’s bespoke lead management software…all in 10 weeks.
Organic enquiries have seen a 40% uplift since the new site went live (compared to the previous period). Top 5 rankings were maintained through migration due to a thorough tech audit.

Premier Training was a huge success for the design and dev team at atom42.
