OVERVIEW

Problem Statement

Plutus Education specializes in training students for globally recognized commerce certifications like ACCA, CFA, CMA, etc. As part of its growth strategy, Plutus wanted to capture organic leads by showcasing relevant job opportunities related to ACCA and commerce fields. However, the tech team was fully occupied, and there was no engineering bandwidth available to build this urgently needed job portal.

I proposed and executed a no-code/low-code solution using Framer, leveraging its advanced logic and CMS capabilities to:

  • List and categorize job openings relevant to ACCA and commerce courses

  • Filter and search job posts based on roles, location, and qualifications

  • Create a frictionless experience that nudges users towards course offerings if they lack required qualifications

  • Capture user interest via forms and interactive CTAs that feed into the lead funnel

This portal was conceptualized, designed, built, and launched in just 2 days.

Target Users

  • Commerce graduates and students looking for jobs in accounting, finance, or audit roles

  • ACCA aspirants who are actively searching for jobs in MNCs, Big4s, or international accounting firms

  • Working professionals aiming to upskill or gain certification to qualify for better roles

DEFINE

This phase involved conducting user research to uncover pain points, behaviors, and motivations. Based on these insights, I identified and clearly defined the core problem to ensure the design efforts stayed user-focused and goal-oriented.

Key Insights:

  • Job seekers were often not qualified yet but were unaware of how to become eligible.

  • Lack of guidance or next steps was a major barrier to lead conversion.

  • The motivation to find a job is the best moment to introduce relevant educational pathways.

Problem Statement (Refined):

“Users searching for ACCA jobs often lack the required qualifications and drop off without taking action. We need a solution that captures their job-seeking intent and guides them to upskill through our courses.”

Design Challenge:

“How might we create a job portal that connects users with ACCA jobs while also offering a clear path to qualification — using no-code tools due to the lack of engineering support?”

UX Goals:

  • Make job discovery effortless

  • Offer smart, helpful guidance when users aren't qualified

  • Enable the content team to manage listings independently

  • Build trust through a professional, responsive, and fast-loading experience

IDEATION

Based on insights from research, I explored multiple solution paths through brainstorming, sketching, and wireframing to identify the most effective and user-friendly approach.

With limited time and no dev resources, I focused on lean, scalable ideas that could be executed via no-code tools like Framer. Key ideas explored:

1. Framer CMS as Backend

  • Use Framer's CMS to dynamically manage and display job listings

  • Each job entry would include metadata (location, type, qualification, link)

2. Smart Qualification Filters
  • Add tags like “ACCA Qualified Required” or “Fresher Friendly”

  • Let users filter based on eligibility and interest

  • Surface learning paths for those who aren’t qualified

3. Education CTA Blocks
  • If the user doesn’t qualify, offer:

    • “Learn ACCA with us”

    • “Need help? Talk to a counsellor”

    • “Start your ACCA journey”

4. Quick Apply Experience
  • Keep applications simple: link to company career page or Google Forms

  • Avoid friction like forced sign-ups

5. SEO Landing Pages
  • Structure each job post with rich metadata for search indexing

  • Use job title and company in the URL for discoverability

6. Empower Non-Tech Teams
  • Use Framer’s visual editor so the marketing or content team can:

    • Add new jobs

    • Highlight featured roles

    • Schedule or archive posts

These ideas were sketched out rapidly in Figma, validated against user needs, and mapped directly to Framer's feature set.

✍️ Content Strategy

  • Defined structured CMS fields:

    • Title, Company, Location, Description, Link, Tags, Qualifications

  • Added copy elements that acted as conversion nudges:

    • “Not eligible? Learn with us”

    • “Get job-ready in 6 months with ACCA”

    • “Talk to an expert”
