Client Background

Tutor Doctor is a global leader in personalised in-home and online tutoring services, renowned for helping students achieve their academic goals. With multiple locations across South Africa, Tutor Doctor SA needed a website that could grow alongside their expanding footprint.

Their existing website, however, fell short in delivering the modern functionality and engaging user experience they required.

Recognising the urgent need for a digital transformation, Tutor Doctor SA teamed up with Starbright to build a dynamic online platform that showcases their dedication to educational excellence, improves customer interactions, and supports their franchise network.

Objective

Tutor Doctor SA needed a complete website overhaul to address outdated design, poor user experience, and the lack of multi-site functionality. The goal was to deliver a modern, engaging, and scalable platform that supported their growing network of franchise locations and improved overall customer interaction.

The Challenges

  • Outdated Design: The website failed to reflect modern digital trends or the brand’s dedication to cutting-edge education.
  • Poor User Experience: Navigation was clunky, and the aesthetics were unappealing, which weakened lead generation.
  • Multi-Site Functionality: Each franchise location had its own website with separate URLs, making maintenance and updates time-consuming and costly. In addition, domain hosting expenses were significantly high.

Our Solution

Starbright developed an intuitive, visually appealing, and scalable platform to solve Tutor Doctor SA’s challenges.

Here’s how we made it happen:

Modern Design & Improved UX

  • Designed a sleek, professional website aligned with Tutor Doctor’s educational mission.
  • Simplified navigation to help users locate information.
  • Integrated clear CTAs that direct users to book consultations or explore tutoring options.

Multi-Site Functionality

  • Created individualised, customisable franchise sub-sites with unique URLs.
  • Allowed franchisees to tailor content while maintaining consistency under the main brand (e.g., https://tutordoctor.co.za/midstream/).

Responsive & Accessible Design

  • Optimised functionality for seamless performance across all devices. (From desktop to mobile.)
  • Added accessibility features to serve a broad audience, including individuals with disabilities.

The Results

  • A modern, user-friendly website that improved engagement and made navigation effortless for customers.
  • Multi-site functionality equips franchise owners with the tools they need to scale and grow their regions.
  • Improved digital experience supports Tutor Doctor SA’s reputation as a leader in personalised education.
