Trainings guide
The company is helping clients to achieve goals, goals are personal. So, website should provide a way to select best training for personal goals of the visitor. Let's look what we did.
Pictures "before and after" in the description of the training
Good visual information a person perceives faster and easier than text. Ho we can provide such a thing for a training? Our solution - pictures "Before and After." Here are the samples for the training "Time Management and Delegation".
BogushBook store
BogushBook is a beautiful patented personal organizer. It's used by thousands of people and, of course, needs a special place on the site.
Online-conferences
There is a place (and time) on the site, where everyone can ask a question to company trainers. For example, this one (sorry, it's in Russian, but it's about how to teach husband to put out the garbage everyday 
)
Ratings and social integration
Social networks is a PR booster. That's inside our site of course.
