When you visit Amukurs, the site may not appear to be much. However, it is actually a complex solution that requires heavy integrations and special developments to function on multiple levels.
The entire site caters to potential course participants - a target audience that often requires a high level of user-friendliness, as well as internal users who will experience smoother and more automated workflows.
This is also reflected in the design.
Everything is designed with the e-commerce sector in mind. Instead of offering goods or products, Amukurs offers courses and services that potential course participants need to "purchase" through registration.
Through a design process, the needs of the target audience have been clarified, and as a result, the site is fully adapted to their behavior on both desktop and mobile devices. This is evident particularly in the graphical elements, their design, and placement.
A simple arrow is consistently used throughout the site, indicating that it is possible to click and find more information. Well-chosen images are used on all pages to guide users in understanding the content, and information is organized on the pages to make it easy to find the desired knowledge. Furthermore, the content is written in simple language.
All calls-to-action (CTAs) are displayed in distinct colors, and overall, the colors and rounded corners on text and image boxes are designed to soften the site and make it user-friendly.
Amukurs has thus acquired a clear design style that is consistent throughout the entire site, including the Course Catalog.
In addition to the significant design work, the portal manages to retrieve all AMU courses from across Denmark.
It is integrated with the regional positive lists (RAR/STAR positive lists) and Kompetencefondende and their positive lists. And all these integrations run automatically, ensuring they are always up-to-date with the latest information.
Furthermore, Amukurs is integrated with four web services from the Styrelsen for IT og Læring, including CØSA, which is directly integrated with Umbraco.
On Amukurs, you will also find a Course Catalog.
With it, you can generate large PDF files containing complex course and class data. The catalog allows users to save interesting courses with a single click, so they can easily access them in the future. It can contain up to 50 courses at a time.
The Course Catalog is based on advanced filtering options. One notable feature is the proximity filter, which allows users to search for courses within a specific radius of, for example, their place of residence.
