The Challenge

The Achievements House enrollment platform faced significant usability challenges that impacted both administrators and parents. Users struggled to navigate complex, multi-step enrollment forms without clarity or guidance. 

The platform lacked visual hierarchy, progress indicators, and save-state support, leading to confusion, drop-offs, and incomplete submissions—especially during longer enrollment journeys. 

Key Pain Points 

  • No clear navigation between enrollment steps 
  • Inability to save progress mid-form 
  • High abandonment during lengthy forms 
  • Poor visual hierarchy and readability 
  • Limited user guidance throughout the process
