Page title logic for university program listings

Project summary

  • The website had over 200,000 program listing pages with inconsistent title tags, which also weren't updating when the user selected more than one.

  • This made it difficult for users and search engines to navigate effectively.

  • The solution consisted of a matrix of titles, with the text logic set up so that it supports all filter combinations.

The initial problem

There were two main issues with the title tags, which were affecting usability and discoverability in search:1. The titles had inconsistent structure and quality:

2. The titles didn't update when a new filter was added:

This experience caused user confusion and negatively affected site's ranking in Google search.

The process

My job was to map out a logic which could be applied to all program listing pages.

Goals

For this project, I set 2 goals:

  • Make it clear to users what page they are on

  • Titles should sound natural

Coming up with a workable solution

Right from the get-go, I realized that the key thing I needed to account for the fact that users may combine one or multiple filters. So, the logic needed to work for all filter combinations.For example:
1 major + 2 locations, or 2 majors an one location.
I came up with 2 "rules" to account for these cases:

  1. When the user picks 1 type of filter, we'd list it

  2. When the user picks 2 or more filters, we'd omit the info instead of listing all of them

The mapping process itself was relatively straightforward - it was just a matrix I made in Excel (I chose Excel because it was easier to lay everything out in a spreadsheet).

Scope of filters slowly expanded

The very first version just consisted of the location and majors.So it was a simple 2x2 matrix, which then grew into a 4x4 matrix:

Then the scope grew from there to account for all key filters.We defined the "key filters" as those that bring in traffic (I collaborated with our SEO specialist to list them all out based on Google Search Console results).These included:

  • Major (Business, Accounting, etc.)

  • Degree type/level (Bachelor's, Master's, Courses...)

  • Locations (continents, countries, cities)

  • Online learning (binary yes/no)

  • Part-time (binary yes/no)

So the logic needed to cover any combination of all those filters.

The solution

The logic

The resulting logic came in 2 parts:

  1. Basic filters (degree level, major, location) - screenshot on the left

  2. Expanded filters (online, part-time) - screenshot on the right

Final result

AI-based summaries for program pages

Project summary

  • I tested and developed a system for generating short ChatGPT-based summaries across 100,000 program page.

  • The 2 goals were to: 1) Create a better UX due to inconsistent content quality uploaded by universities; 2) Boost SEO visibility.

Landing page for a book launch

Project summary:Designed a landing page for a book launch with integrated lead collection.Tools used:
Photoshop (moodboard)
Procreate (sketching)
Figma (wireframing)
Carrd (site building)
MailerLite (email collection)

Context

The client, a book author and psychiatry researcher, wanted to promote her new book about depression and needed an engaging landing page to:

  • Capture audience/potential customer interest

  • Develop and grow the brand around the book (as 3 more would be published in the future)

  • Collect an email list for the book launch

The goal was to create an effective site that fulfilled her technical requirements while minimizing the cost as she was still not making money from her book.

Gathering ideas and requirements

Target demographic

The book is about depression; analyzing real-life cases and connecting them with theoretical concepts from psychiatry, so the topic is very sensitive and personal for each user.After speaking with the client, and doing independent research, I developed a user persona to summarize the type of customer she wishes to attract.Some of the key requirements for this kind of customer are:

  • Social proof

  • Assurance that the author is an expert in the field

  • A feeling of comfort

Technical requirements

  • Email sign-up (for collecting email addresses)

  • An integration or link the Amazon page

  • Social sharing availability

  • Ability to update and maintain the page easily even with low tech skills

  • Achieved [x] of email sign-ups.
