The education strand
NEOMAAA Academy
The Academy began as a separate product with its own site and courses. The site stayed a draft, while the weekly webinars ran and each speaker needed a deck.
- Web design
- Presentations
Part of the NEOMAAA ecosystemWhat it was
NEOMAAA is an international prop firm. The Academy handled teaching: a webinar every week and recorded courses put together separately.
It was designed as a fourth branch, alongside futures and crypto: its own place in the shared navigation, its own colour and its own lockup. The page is built like its neighbours, but the content is not, because people arrive here to learn.
It never made it to launch. The draft was built, then the strand was folded into Trader’s Hub and the page was never released. I am showing it as it is, in draft.
The page in full
The draft as a single sheet, so you can see the whole structure. It is not meant to be read here; the structure is the point.
The hero
A promise about a career, not about profit: teaching has a different conversation with a person than a prop firm does.
Course carousel
Courses right on the first screen, before any talk about the company. Someone who came to learn needs the catalogue.
About the strand
Three figures: 83 countries, thirty thousand taught, monthly rewards. The geography is shared with the ecosystem, the rest is its own.
The catalogue
A topic filter and cards. A card carries the level, the author, the duration, the skills gained and the languages as flags: a course does not run in one language.
Mentors
A strip of teachers with each ones topics and courses. In education people buy a person, so this gets a section of its own.
Testimonials
Student stories and a Trustpilot score. The same device as on the trading branches, and here it carries more weight.
Video from events
Vertical clips from the meet-ups. Proof that there are living people and offline events behind the teaching.
Schedule
The same course cards, but as a calendar. The catalogue answers what is taught, the schedule answers when to come.
Questions
Common questions about the rules and how this differs from an ordinary challenge.
Support
Six channels in one screen, as on crypto: WhatsApp, Telegram, email, live chat, phone, support centre.
The footer
Navigation, legal links and its own lockup: NEOMAAA Academy, separate from Funded.
Speaker decks
Every week a trader or a market figure spoke, and each of them got a deck of their own: a cover with the name and the topic, then the content slides.
This was a flow. A new speaker every week, a new topic, and a fixed date to hit. The template set the grid and the type, but the cover was rebuilt every time: it carries a person’s face, and a face does not drop into a ready-made frame.
The Juan David course
Beyond the weekly webinars, recorded courses were planned. One was built in full: eight lessons, around three hundred slides for a single lecturer.
The material arrived as it was. The speaker sent his own version, usually thrown together and in Spanish. Neither I nor the team spoke Spanish, so the order of work was: translate first, then work out what was actually meant, and only then design.
A screenshot of the board, so the number is not just a claim: nine rows, one row per lesson.
Course slides
What it looks like up close. Twenty-four spreads from the course: lesson covers, diagrams, chart breakdowns.
Before and after
What the speaker sent and what went into the course. Three typical cases: no design at all, a design that belongs to someone else, the wrong photograph.
Note that all of it is in Spanish. Before drawing anything we had to translate the slide and work out what it was about, and only then decide how it should look.
All of it was made in Canva, which is not a designer's tool: you cannot take the layers, the fonts or the grid out of it, so a rebuild almost always meant building the slide again.
No design at all. Text on a white page. Translate, work out the meaning, build the slide from scratch.
There was a design, but not ours. Purple instead of blue, a script face, captions across the face. Rebuilt in the Academy language.
The wrong photograph. A school-age snapshot of a man introduced as an expert with eight years behind him. The slide was rebuilt entirely.
