CPDHub Directory Website
CPDHub is a professional development directory website focused on continuing professional development (CPD), job vacancies, speakers, and industry partnerships. The project centered on a home page redesign using the existing MyListing theme, with the objective of improving visual clarity, credibility, and usability—without altering any existing data or backend functionality.
The redesign streamlined a cluttered layout into a clean, modern, and purpose-driven homepage that highlights key credibility signals such as strategic partnerships, featured speakers, and job opportunities, while preserving the website’s established directory infrastructure.
-
Retained the MyListing theme and all existing listings, data, and functionality
-
Redesigned only the homepage, without impacting other areas of the site
-
Reduced visual clutter while still showcasing multiple content types (jobs, speakers, partnerships)
-
Improved the presentation of job vacancies, which were previously overwhelming and poorly structured
-
Duplicated the homepage in the WordPress backend, allowing the client to review and approve changes before replacing the live version.
-
Elevated high-trust elements—such as the partnership with Gilly Woodhouse / Osteobiz and featured speakers—to strengthen authority and professional legitimacy.
-
Simplified the page structure by reducing section density, increasing white space, and improving alignment to create a cleaner, more professional appearance.
-
Redesigned the job listings section to improve readability and visual balance, making vacancies easier to scan without dominating the page.
- Gave prominent visual emphasis to the partnership with Gilly Woodhouse / Osteobiz, ensuring it was immediately visible and positioned as a trust anchor.
- Refined the layout and presentation of featured speakers to reinforce credibility and professional value.
- All design improvements were implemented within MyListing’s existing framework, ensuring consistency, maintainability, and zero disruption to backend functionality.
