Project Overview

COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES LMS HOMEPAGE MOCKUPS

Design & Coding

For this project, the client wanted a refreshed LMS homepage and the opportunity to choose a design direction that best suited their needs. I provided two mockups with similar layouts but distinct design approaches, giving them flexibility in deciding what felt right for their users.

In the end, they gravitated toward one mockup while incorporating select elements from the other, resulting in a final design that felt both intentional and tailored. The updated homepage offered a clean, polished experience that elevated the platform’s look and functionality.

Development Details

The homepage was designed in Sketch to provide a polished and flexible mock-up for client review. Once approved, the design was implemented into the Thought Industries LMS platform using its native widgets, with custom CSS applied to control the visual styling and layout of the widgets. All CSS was coded in Dreamweaver, ensuring precision and clean execution.

As this project was in the mock-up phase, Latin placeholder text and placeholder imagery were used to represent content, allowing the focus to remain on the overall design and layout.
