At Designership, our mission has always been to empower designers with real-world skills and knowledge to help them earn more money. Yep, it's to help you earn more through education and resources that you can implement immediately into your workflow. We care about moving that needle for you.
Having been in operation for two years, we've gathered many insights. One of our main learnings was how eager our students wanted to grow more as designer — and how much more we had to share. This includes everything from helping designers build a higher sense of business acumen, all the way through to expanding their services to tools like Webflow and Framer!
As we listened to your feedback and reflected on our growth, it became clear that our old website design wasn't equipped to handle the projects we had in our pipeline.
More courses, vetted and trusted educators, and other learning opportunities meant we needed a platform that could grow with us. It also had to match the scale of our vision for the future of Designership.
And that's why we’ve given our website a complete makeover!
However, that's not the only thing we've been working on. Here's a closer look at all the cool updates coming soon.
Let's dive into the specifics of our brand-new website.
We've fine-tuned our navigation to help you quickly find our courses and resources. Right now, it's focused on Courses, Figma, and UX Design, but we plan to expand these options soon! This includes everything from marketing, business and even tools like Framer and Webflow. Once again, it's all about helping you earn more, so whatever it takes we will have.
Instead of focusing on building a "flashy" website. We redirected our focus on the overall user experience and information architecture of the platform. The goal of the re-design has been to help our students find what they want faster and more efficiently.
Here’s what we've improved on:
Homepage: A website's homepage sets the tone and first impression. Our new design makes it clear and easy to digest so that everything you see immediately communicates what we offer.
Course category pages: As we expand our course line-up, it was important for us to make sure our website design reflected this.
We've also added a new set of filters so that it would be easy to find what you're looking for.
Course landing pages: The redesigned content pages focuses more on content clarity. Now the course information is easier to understand, so you can decide if it's for you!
Keep in mind that this website update is just the first step. Stay tuned!

Another major project in the works that's ready to be launched is our new UX/UI Design course.
Many designers often use UX and UI design interchangeably, but in reality, they spend most of their time pushing pixels as a UI designer.
This course offers a hands-on and practical approach that guides you through the entire design process. It starts with a real project brief where pre-existing research is passed on from our UX research course and your goal is to form the entire project strategy, create sitemaps, userflows, wireframes, UI designs and even user test plans to wrap the project up. You will dive deep into different frameworks to optimize your thinking, strategies and workflow alongside your instructor.
By the end of this course, you will understand the differences between UX and UI design and learn to apply both effectively. This approach will make it easier for you to design that are strategically aligned with business objectives.
Here's a rundown of what you'll learn:
