About the Company
Swiss Scholar is an educational portal designed to empower students and adults by providing tools for managing academic assignments, presentations, exams, and online courses. The platform aims to simplify educational processes while delivering a seamless user experience for its diverse audience.
Project Overview
Swiss Scholar faced significant challenges with its underperforming website, which relied on a generic WordPress theme that was neither optimized for the target audience nor technically robust. Intelvision stepped in with their Talent as a Service, assembling a dedicated and highly skilled team to completely redesign and rebuild the platform, ensuring alignment with the client’s goals and end-user expectations.
Challenges and Pains
Shortage of Qualified Talent
Swiss Scholar lacked in-house experts with the necessary skills to address their website’s design and technical shortcomings. This talent gap stalled the project and prevented the platform from reaching its full potential.
Outdated and Poorly Performing Website
The old website offered limited functionality, failed to effectively engage users, and was unable to deliver the desired results. Its WordPress foundation lacked the flexibility to accommodate the client’s growing needs.
Misaligned Design
The platform’s design did not reflect the needs of its target audience, leading to low engagement and user dissatisfaction.
Limited Technical Capabilities
The website lacked critical features such as secure payment gateways, advanced analytics, and seamless integration with third-party systems, limiting its scalability and operational efficiency.

Intelvision utilized its Talent as a Service (TaaS) model to address Swiss Scholar’s challenges by assembling a dedicated team of experts, including WordPress developers, a UI/UX designer, a business analyst, and a project manager. This team worked as an integrated extension of Swiss Scholar’s in-house team, driving the project’s transformation with a hands-on approach.
