PCHE — Higher Education Pathway Portal | The Atom Studio
2026-07-014 min readThe Atom Studio Team
Choosing a pathway college is a multi-week decision involving parents, comparison shopping, and a lot of second-guessing — PCHE's portal needed to support that whole process, not just look good on the first visit.
The Brief
Business, IT, Psychology, and Early Childhood Education pathways each attract a different kind of prospective student, and the portal needed to serve all of them clearly.
What We Built
- Degree pathway information structured by field of study, built for comparison rather than a single long page.
- Clear positioning around the Australian and UK university partnerships, since that's the actual value proposition.
- An online enrollment path that doesn't dead-end into call us.
Under the Hood
A Next.js Ecommerce Site tier build — despite the name, this tier fits multi-page institutional sites like this just as well as retail catalogues, since the underlying need for structured pages and clear conversion paths is the same.
PCHE's portal is live, built to carry an important decision with the seriousness it deserves.
