Custom eLearning Design and Development
Our custom eLearning development process
Our custom eLearning design and development approach delivers courses that align with your needs and maximise learner engagement:
Discovery
First, we begin with a project kick-off, working with your team to confirm learning objectives, understand your audience, and clarify the intended outcomes.
During this phase, we identify the characteristics of the target audience, including levels of digital literacy, device preferences, and key motivators. We confirm objectives, requirements, assumptions, and success measures, then develop a project plan covering scope, milestones, stakeholder engagement, timelines, responsibilities, and reporting requirements.
Need more clarity before you kick off? At Strawberry Solutions, a custom eLearning design and development company in Australia, you can meet with an expert Learning Designer to shape and plan your learning solution from the ground up.
Custom eLearning Design Concept
We create a custom branded visual and content template based on your style guide and audience needs. In addition, this ensures consistency across all modules and covers the treatment of visual assets, including colours, typography, images, infographics, illustrations, iconography and animated characters, props and backgrounds.
Strawberry Solutions employs effective graphic and motion design principles to capture the learner’s attention, improve comprehension, enhance usability, and enrich perception. This includes:
- We use images to reinforce learning, convey meaning and create visual interest. Strawberry Solutions ensures image selection promotes and supports diversity and inclusion across a range of ages, cultural backgrounds, genders and body types. This includes the use of stock library images and custom produced images in response to a brief.
- In particular, our use of vector illustrations and infographics to demonstrate concepts in a meaningful and usable way minimises cognitive load.
- Similarly, we use iconography in our custom eLearning content to visually communicate processes and steps, reducing on-screen text and improving understanding.
Storyboarding Your Custom eLearning Design
First, using our template, we document each module in full, including learning objectives, content, chunking, sequencing, interactives, accessibility features, and scripts.
Custom eLearning Development: Prototype Build
Review and refine
We manage feedback, refining content, visuals, and functionality to ensure everything supports real-world learning transfer. Finally, we build any subsequent modules as part of the project.
Handover
We supply SCORM-ready modules compatible with your LMS, along with source files if required. If SCORM is not the right output for your needs, we work with you to determine the most suitable delivery option.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Custom eLearning Design and Development?
Custom eLearning is digital learning that is designed and developed specifically for your organisation, audience, and objectives. Unlike off-the-shelf courses, custom eLearning reflects your brand, your content, and the real outcomes you need to achieve – whether that’s induction, compliance, capability building, or professional development.
What Types of Custom eLearning Design Does Strawberry Solutions Develop?
We create a wide range of digital learning solutions, including single modules and multi-module programs. In addition, our work covers induction, compliance training, capability development, and professional development programs. Each solution is tailored to your learners, your organisation, and the results you want to see.
What Does Your Custom eLearning Development Process Look Like?
We follow a structured end-to-end process that covers discovery, design concept, storyboarding, prototype build, review and refinement, and final handover. We begin by working with your team to confirm learning objectives, understand your audience, and agree on scope, timelines, and success measures. From there, we design, build, review, and deliver – with you involved at every key stage.
How involved will we be in the project?
You are involved throughout. We collaborate with your team during the discovery phase to confirm objectives and requirements, and clients participate in two formal rounds of feedback at both the storyboard and build stages. All feedback is tracked through shared documents and software to keep everything clear and efficient. Final sign-off only happens once your expectations are fully met.
Will the eLearning match our branding?
Yes. We create a custom branded visual and content template based on your style guide and audience needs. Similarly, this covers colours, typography, images, infographics, illustrations, iconography, and animated characters – ensuring consistency and a professional look across every module.
Is your eLearning accessible?
Yes. Accessibility is built into our design process from the start, not added as an afterthought. We create WCAG-compliant content and apply inclusive design principles, including thoughtful image selection that promotes diversity across ages, cultural backgrounds, genders, and body types.
What format will the final eLearning be delivered in?
We deliver SCORM-ready modules compatible with your LMS. If SCORM is not the right output for your needs, we work with you to identify the most suitable delivery format. Source files can also be provided if required. We can also build natively in your LMS if that is your preferred mode.
Can you update or refresh existing eLearning modules?
Yes. Not every project needs a full rebuild. If you have existing eLearning that needs updating, we offer a module edits service covering content, branding, screenshots, interactions, accessibility, and structure. So, get in touch to discuss what your course needs.
How do you ensure the quality of what you deliver?
Every product goes through a stringent quality assurance and testing process before delivery. Instructional design leads review storyboards for alignment with objectives, clarity, tone, and accessibility. Lead graphic designers and learning designers review builds for accuracy, design consistency, and cross-device functionality. We sign off nothing until the final product meets your expectations.
