Covision

Covision is a platform for planning in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. Event teams use its CMS to build agendas, manage speakers and attendees, and share content with interactive tools.

The CMS was built without a design team. Developers made most decisions, which led to a clunky, hard-to-use tool. Event teams couldn't deliver modern experiences: mobile-friendly, personalized, and interactive events.

Key features were buried deep in a cluttered side menu, making them hard to access and slowing down workflows. It increased cognitive load and made core tasks feel hidden or less important.

Every page used the same plain layout, whether editing the homepage, managing attendees, or updating speakers. Nothing stood out, so planners couldn't tell what mattered, where they were, or what they were editing.

Modules were basic links with limited layout control, no visual preview, and no styling options. Planners couldn't create engaging, on-brand experiences, only rigid, outdated pages.

I redesigned the page builder so planners can create branded, mobile-ready pages that match exactly what attendees will see. It's simple but flexible: text, images, videos, links, agendas, speaker lists, carousels and more, all from one menu.

The live preview updates in real time and works on any device. Planners can switch between desktop and mobile views and fine-tune each layout, so experiences work across screens.

I expanded the component library with agendas, speaker lists and link collections, on top of text and media. Planners mix and match modules to build pages that fit their event.

Each component has built-in settings for layout, colors, visibility and behavior. Changes show up instantly in the live preview.

Planners can now control who sees what, down to specific components on a page. Dynamic labels based on attendee data, such as role, department or session attendance, personalize content for different groups.

For example, a resource list can show only for attendees in the marketing team who joined a specific session, or a welcome message can change based on someone's role. Planners get more control without creating separate pages for every variation, and attendees get the relevant, personalized experience they expect.

Planners set logos, colors and fonts in one place. The styles apply automatically across all pages and components, so buttons, backgrounds and text always follow the brand, with no manual edits.

A new overview page shows key event information at a glance: registrations, session attendance and recent signups. It highlights today's sessions and offers quick links to common actions.

Planners no longer dig through menus. They start with a clear view of what's happening and act with fewer clicks.

I didn't try to rebuild the platform from scratch. Instead, I worked closely with developers to make it easier to use, maintain and improve over time. Most existing pages stayed as they were at first, reorganized into a clearer structure that reflects how event teams actually work.

This project was a deep dive into untangling messy workflows and making a CMS actually feel usable. It touched many parts of the product.
