The context

The context

LcL is a Vienna language school teaching German, English, Spanish and other languages. Its founders came to us in 2022 with no logo, no website and a broad idea of what the school should be.

The offer was wide from day one: group and one-to-one courses, in person and online, specialist classes, workshops and language camps. The challenge was to make it easy to find your way through.

What we did

What we did

01

Strategy workshop

User personas, the platform's functions and how to present the course catalogue.

02

Information architecture and user flows

Mapped first, then tested on low-fidelity mockups.

03

Early usability testing

Assumptions checked with users before any visual design.

04

Interface design

A clear layout with a strong information hierarchy and a line-art illustration system.

05

Logo and identity

An LcL monogram set in a speech bubble with an open book: conversation and learning in one mark.

The work

Selected work

Website, logo and identity

The outcome

The outcome

We handed over complete design documentation and LcL built the site in-house. The school still uses the logo, identity and interface we designed.
