This course orients new Intrigue designers to the tools and conventions that make up daily design work at Intrigue. It covers the Adobe Creative Cloud suite alongside Figma, Miro, and Canva, how files and assets are organised for team-wide access, and where to find client resources like Drive folders and association logos. From there, the course moves into setting up a local environment for Conversion Machine builds, including pulling down a site with WPLocal and organising theme and site files correctly. By the end, learners will be comfortable navigating Intrigue’s design tool suite and ready to begin hands-on build work.

FAQs
No. These tools are covered situationally, as they come up in specific design work, not as a core requirement.
You should already have GitHub Desktop installed by the time you’re taking this course, and having WPLocal installed at this stage is ideal but not required. The lessons walk through its installation as part of the process if you haven’t done it yet.
No. It’s introduced as a useful multi-platform testing tool, not something you’ll be tested on here.
