Case Study: Revamping the Website for International Study Center
Client Overview
International Study Center (ISC) is an Australia-based consultancy specializing in helping international students find and enroll in the right educational programs. With a wide network of partner institutions, ISC provides guidance on admissions, visas, and living arrangements.
Their existing website had an outdated design that lacked modern aesthetics and functionality, resulting in low user engagement and lead generation. ISC approached Paze International to create a contemporary, lead-focused website that reflects their global presence and expertise.
