Our Solution

In partnership with the California Department of Education (CDE), Electronic Testing Services (ETS) hired Black Flag to conduct in-depth research to uncover the team’s greatest challenge; To determine if the CAASPP and ELPAC websites, build and managed separately, should remain as separate entities or combined into a single website. There was an immense amount of hesitation give the complexities of the data and the audiences each website served. After highly intense user interviews, focus groups, and first click prototype testing and observations, Black Flag presented our findings, shared our rationale, and revealed that both sites would greatly benefit from being combined as a single entity.
