Ongoing partnership

As Casio’s trusted web agency, we work on a retainer basis, dedicating an agreed number of hours each month to ensure the site remains robust, secure, and optimised for its users.

Beyond routine maintenance, our partnership provides a seamless way to plan and execute larger, more complex projects. When Casio identifies the need for a significant new feature or update, we can commit extra resources to delivering these discrete pieces of work and meet their goals. Whether it’s enhancing the user interface, integrating new technologies, or expanding functionality, we’re always ready to bring their vision to life.

Communication is at the heart of our relationship with Casio. We maintain an open, collaborative dialogue, which allows us to be proactive in identifying opportunities for improvement. By combining their deep understanding of their audience with our technical expertise, we ensure the website evolves to meet users’ needs.

Ultimately, our role is to ensure Casio’s Education website remains a reliable, engaging resource for educators and learners. From the small details of routine upkeep to the execution of transformative updates, we like to ensure that the website always reflects their commitment to excellence.

Interactive course platform

This project promotes active learning by providing engaging courses that students can work through at their own pace. Users can start, pause, and pick up where they left off along pathways of curated learning modules, tracking their progress as they go. The aim is to directly encourage focused participation from students and teachers, driving their development forward.

Casio can create these coherent courses effortlessly in the CMS using our flexible, block-based system. The lesson material can include any type of content including video and interactive questions such as multiple choice options. These questions can include calculator screenshots, and have customisable pass thresholds. Hints can be made available if the user gets the question wrong. This flexibility allows Casio to create any type of course, from a brief how-to to a fully realised curriculum with certification. We have also built this platform functionality to be easily extendable in future development cycles.

We designed a clean frontend user interface which makes it easy to jump between individual lessons and switch between modules or courses. The interface adapts to the type of lesson content, and helps the student to easily visualise their progress to date, and next steps to take. These courses provide students with instant feedback on their journey, and integrate seamlessly into the existing user account dashboard, alongside other site features such as a library of personalised resources and scheduled training sessions.

Courses include a certificate generation feature to provide a measurable learning outcome and a palpable sense of accomplishment. These certificates are automated, personalised to the user’s name and the specific course completed. Users can download these documents and access them on demand at any time from their account dashboard.

We included a reporting system which provides valuable analytics data. Casio can get an overview of how their courses are performing, so they can understand which courses or individual lessons are proving hard to pass, as well as monitoring their general relative engagement and popularity.

Training session booking system

Our flexible booking platform connects educators and students to tailored learning experiences, whether they’re looking for an online webinar or an in-person training session. The system allows users to easily find opportunities suited to them by filtering based on their needs, the relevant calculator model, or specific dates.

Once users select a session from a grid of results, they can book directly through a streamlined form, designed to keep the process quick and easy. This functionality empowers students and educators to discover and enjoy valuable opportunities designed to help them get the most out of their learning tools.

To enhance efficiency, we integrated the booking form submissions with HubSpot, seamlessly syncing registrations with Casio’s existing CRM via API. This automated process ensures that participant data is captured instantly, enabling Casio’s team to track sign-ups, send confirmations, and manage follow-ups effortlessly. By centralizing this data, the system provides valuable insights into engagement trends and helps refine future educational offerings.

Full site rebuild

Casio approached us to rebuild their Education website because our engineers have a proven track record in building sites optimised for performance, scoring highly for speed, SEO, accessibility, and end-user experience. We had the vision and technical skills needed to bridge the gap between a consumer-facing marketing site and an immersive learning platform.

We chose to use WordPress as the foundation, with an advanced architecture which creates a separation between the application code and the WordPress core, for enhanced security. We kept the codebase lightweight with minimal reliance upon third-party plugins and tools, reducing future maintenance cost and risk.

We crafted an unbeatable content management experience from this platform. Our robust system of bespoke reusable blocks keeps the editing experience intuitive and frictionless, empowering the Casio team to confidently experiment with their content without disrupting the cohesiveness of the design.

We migrated data from the previous Hubspot site over to the new WordPress site, and we expanded upon end-user account functionality. This enables Casio to gather valuable user data, as visitors curate personalised libraries of free learning resources.

Throughout the rebuild we facilitated open communication with their team, managing continual review and feedback as the site took shape on a private ‘staging’ web domain. This transparency through each phase of development, along a structured timeline, ensured that there were no crossed wires or unwelcome surprises.

The project highlights our expertise in WordPress and our conscientious approach to producing tailored, scalable solutions that set the stage for future growth.
