THE CLIENT
Founded in 1995, the International Coach Federation (ICF) is the leading global organisation dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high standards, providing independent certification, and building a worldwide network of credentialed coaches. Our more than 28,000 ICF Members are located around the globe, in over 120 countries. ICF is the only organization that awards a globally recognized credential which is currently held by more than 21,000 coaches worldwide. ICF’s core purpose is to advance the art, science and practice of professional coaching.
THE GOAL
ICF Kenya approached Essential Web Design with the request to create a more interactive website that would add value to the visitor. The value coming from the website would have to be a two-way street. The coaches on the one hand would have to be able to upload their profiles, upload news items and share information in an easy-to-use manner. The visitor of the website should be able to find their preferred coach easily and be able to find other useful information smoothly and easily.
Furthermore, ICF Kenya requested for the Coaches’ to be able to manage their accounts via a dashboard that is straightforward and easy to use.
ICF Kenya also hosts and organizes many events. The client requested for those events to be easily uploadable onto the platform. Furthermore, clients would also have to be able to pay for their events via Credit Card or Mpesa.
RESULT
The website resulted in a fresh light and easy to use website. All the required information is accessible within a few clicks. The coaches’ have an extensive profile whereby they can upload their personal profile picture, bio alongside other information. They can also add news items, edit posts and edit their account information easily. The admin of the website has control over the posts added by the different coaches as they go through an approval process before they are visible on the website.
Payments can be done smoothly via the integrated Pesapal Credit Card and Mpesa payment option. The admin of the website gets a confirmation when a booking is made and can then do the necessary follow-ups.
The website also uses a variety of filters so the visitor can find the necessary coaches, events or news items in a effortless manner.
