Qualifications Québec (Q2) is Québec's single point of access for credential recognition. Mandated by the Ministry of Immigration, it supports individuals throughout the credential recognition process by providing centralized access to information, resources and tools that facilitate professional integration. Its platform includes detailed profiles of regulated professions and their credential recognition pathways.

Objective

The objective of the project was to consolidate the corporate website and the Credential Recognition Portal into a single platform, creating a consistent user experience, simplifying access to information and centralizing content management within WordPress.

Context

In 2020, Qualifications Québec entrusted Kryzalid with the design and development of its corporate website, complementing the existing Credential Recognition Portal. Three years later, the organization sought to unify both platforms to provide a more consistent user experience while simplifying content management. This new mandate presented a significant challenge: integrating a feature-rich portal into a new WordPress environment while preserving the structure of its content, the logic behind the profession profiles and the browsing habits of its users.

UX/UI design

A thorough review of the information architecture and user experience made it possible to unify the content from both platforms into a clear and intuitive navigation structure. User journeys were redesigned to efficiently guide the platform’s different audiences toward the resources they need while highlighting Qualifications Québec’s mission, services and tools. The clean, minimalist interface makes complex information easier to navigate and provides a consistent experience throughout the website.

Profession Profiles

The profession profiles are the core of the platform. Kryzalid developed the process required to import and integrate hundreds of existing profiles into the new WordPress environment while preserving their structure, relationships and browsing logic. This approach now enables the Qualifications Québec team to manage all content from a single platform while simplifying ongoing updates and supporting the portal’s future growth.

WordPress Development

The website was developed on WordPress to provide a robust, scalable and user-friendly content management platform. The content architecture was designed to accommodate a wide variety of resources, streamline day-to-day administration and support the organization’s evolving needs over time.

Result

The new platform now brings together all services, resources and profession profiles within a single, cohesive user experience. Users can access information more efficiently, while the Qualifications Québec team benefits from simplified content management through a unified environment. This project demonstrates Kryzalid’s ability to take over an existing digital ecosystem, integrate complex content into a new information architecture and deliver a scalable platform that meets both user expectations and organizational objectives.
