About College Fit Finder

College Fit Finder is a SaaS platform which is a leader in college athlete recruiting. They work primarily with sports clubs around the US providing a turnkey solution for picking a college and having an awesome profile to share with the college coach. This blog is the first in a series of case studies with solutions.

Challenge

The College Fit Finder founder is a graphic designer and was itching for a mobile first ux redesign. The software platform needed to scale up in order to keep up with projected user growth and planned feature that will drive up daily usage per user. Delivery needed to be time based instead of feature based. Additional business models including advertising and white labelling needed to be added in.

Most cards have three variations: Basic, Plus and Gold; additionally there are City Hopper and Global cards. The new site needed to be as easy to add new offers and venues as it is on the Groupon Orlando site and mobile app.
