Overview
Tohinapolku is a subscription-based membership platform designed for early childhood education professionals. Members receive new educational materials every month through a members-only area, creating an ongoing learning experience.
I was responsible for the complete UX/UI design and WordPress development of the platform. While the client already had an established logo and brand identity, I translated the existing visual style into a cohesive website. The project is currently in development.

The Challenge
The challenge was to build a membership platform that would be simple and intuitive to use for both the client and their members.
A key requirement was to make content management as effortless as possible. The client needed to be able to add and schedule new materials quickly and easily, without having to work with the page builder or understand the technical structure behind the site.

The result is a system where the interface stays simple for the end user while the underlying structure gives the client flexibility to manage and grow the platform independently.
Design Process
Rather than treating the website as a traditional content-driven site, I designed the structure around how the service would actually be used. For members, this meant making it easy to find monthly materials, browse the resource library, and navigate the member area. For the client, the goal was to make content management as simple as possible.
I built a custom content structure that allows the client to add and schedule new materials through straightforward fields, without needing to edit pages or work with the page builder. The content then automatically appears in the appropriate sections of the member area.
