About the Export School
The Export School is a platform where business owners can learn to export their products to different countries properly. The platform provides training materials, practical regulations and introduces laws in this sphere.

Special attention
A major part of the target audience are people over the age of 50. For these people are characterized as conservative, the main interactive elements of the site and training materials have not been changed in terms of interaction mechanics. However, the look of these elements has been updated in order to meet the style of re-branding.
We have taken into account this aspect of the web-site and split it into two parts: the external site and the internal site, which have different objectives.

Process of work
In terms of redesign we created:
- design concept
- a complex design system
- unusual pages layouts (unusual pages contain functions website would not be capable of working systematically without. Standard pages either contain repeating functions or display static information)
Prototype
The old website has been a prototype for redesigning the internal site. New wireframes have been created for the external site.
Design system
A complex redesign of every page of the website has not been provided for the project. The main unusual pages, which contain specific functions, have been chosen.
Other pages will be constructed according to the developed design system. It has become the main reference point for the project and provides for every possible situation at the page.
