The challenge

EduQuest started in 2024 as a brand-new website with no search history and no brand online. The first site was built by an in-house WordPress developer, but its design had too many issues, so in May 2026 I redesigned it as a custom theme while the SEO kept running.

The business

An Australian education and migration consultancy (Melbourne head office) helping students study in Australia, the UK, the USA and Canada — 12+ years, 10 offices in 8 countries, 5,000+ visas processed and 35+ scholarship programs.

The design

Deep navy with a blue-to-green gradient headline and a friendly, reassuring tone. The hero shows graduation photography with proof badges (5,000+ visas, 35+ scholarships); then country cards, nine services from counselling to post-arrival support, and a five-step journey from free counselling to first lecture.
