general overview

SecureFlag is a training platform for developers and DevOps engineers. Its main goal is to provide a place to learn and practice modern secure coding techniques through hands-on exercises.

Business Challenges

To develop a leading, highly engaging, educational platform that revolutionizes secure coding training and effectively meets market demands.

To Become the Leading Platform in Coding Education

Our goal was to revolutionize the approach to coding training. We developed an architecture of an educational platform that enables software developers to write secure code and helps organizations minimize vulnerabilities in their software applications.
As a result, SecureFlag now offers thousands of hands-on labs for over 45 technologies, covering more than 150 security vulnerabilities and distinguishing itself from competitors.

To Increase Platform Engagement through Highly Adaptive Learning

Since our client already had a design framework, our task was to modernize it by incorporating new features and refining the application's visual aesthetics. Consequently, the platform became more appealing and engaging for users, motivating them to study more dynamically and interactively.

To Create an Easy and Intuitive UI for a Seamless UX

The challenge was to design a user experience that meets market requirements and training specifics. To address this, we developed an interactive onboarding process and created an intuitive information architecture. As a result, the platform received positive online reviews and referrals, with most users noting that the UI/UX is exceptionally smooth.

Design System

The main goal was to modernize SecureFlag's current design system.
Our primary focus was to make the platform more visually appealing for our users, with their needs and preferences taking the lead in our design decisions. We wanted to ensure that every design element resonates with users, making their experience more enjoyable and intuitive.
We designed each platform element consistently to create a cohesive and organic look.
We enhanced essential learning management systems elements: text, buttons, forms/inputs, cards, headers, footers, colors, and icons.
The primary site colors we chose are shades of blue, creating a light and airy feel.
The accent colors to draw attention are red, green, and orange.
We included accent buttons and softened shapes with rounded cards, adding subtle patterns in the background to support the product's concept visually.

Features

01. UI Design

For the SecureFlag project, we designed a simple yet multifunctional user interface. We organized all the content into convenient modules, making it easy for users to navigate and quickly find the needed materials. The platform’s user interface resembles an online library where all the topics and resources necessary for learning are collected.

02. Onboarding

In the onboarding section, users answer specific questions to help us tailor their experience. Then, they proceed to interactive onboarding to see how the online education platform works.

03. Exercises Page

The exercises page is essential for employee training. Here, users receive a list of exercises to complete and can view detailed documentation on each exercise.

04. Dashboard

The dashboard is a key part of the platform. It gathers statistics, information about active tournaments, exercises, progress tracking, and more. From here, users can access other sections of the platform. The main goal of the dashboard is to show users their most important statistics and results.

05. Learning Path

In this section, users choose which programming language they want to learn. They can select courses at any level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and read more about them or watch videos.

06. Tournaments

Here, users can see lists of both active and completed tournaments. The active tournaments section shows all relevant information, including the leaderboard.
