Creating a Website From Scratch for an Online Training Institute

A Brief Glimpse Into Our Client

Our client, ICA Group, wanted us to design a learning management website from scratch. The application and admin panel were already existing, but we needed to create a fully-functioning website where students can take courses and give exams.

Our client is primarily involved in the educational sector in India. The company began its journey in 1999 with a focus on training people for youth-based jobs in the country. At present, ICA is one of the leading training institutes in India, shaping careers for millions of youths.

Understanding the growing need for online EdTech platforms since the pandemic, our client decided to build an interactive platform for its students and teachers. The learning management system website can help students to take courses and give exams. Two types of students can use the platform—those who weren’t registered by the ICA group and the registered students. The students who weren’t registered could avail of two courses and take the exams. Once done with the exam, results will appear on the website as well.

The primary objective of the website design was to have a platform that provides all the services for a student to complete an industry-oriented course through a seamless and transparent experience.

The website also needed to function from a tutor’s end as well. Tutors in the institute can create courses, offering to teach the study materials to the students. Additionally, the front end of the website had to change to fit the design. Thus, we also needed to add separate sections on the website along with a proper front-end display.

The Challenges We Faced Along the Way

Although the project didn’t have any challenges, one that we did face was creating a custom chart on the website. This custom chart makes the website more informative and navigable.

After having failed consultations with a few developers, our client came across Brainium. He was very clear regarding the requirements and challenges that need to be worked on in the website.

Our initial job was to understand each challenge and build a team that would lead and handle the project effortlessly.

The front end of a website is very different than an app. This is why one of the main challenges we faced regarding the design was to create separate sections for the website. We also added a custom chart and upgraded the content for the website.

The website would have multiple users—students, tutors, and others. Hence, a need for separate sections was necessary. Along with that, we had to make sure that the database was robust enough to handle a lot of information at once.

The client already had an existing application. Hence, it was necessary to ensure to maintain a user-friendly website design that would be easy for students and teachers to navigate.

Our Primary Solution for This Project

Our first job for the project was to identify the ways we can make the website stand out from the application already existing while keeping the values, aesthetics, and basic functionalities the same.

Results

More Convenience

The website provides an additional window for students and teachers. Students can easily register themselves, take courses and see the results without having to download the application.

Higher Scalability

Due to the editing in the MySQL database, the website is more scalable and has higher efficiency.

Improved Interactability

The website has separate sections and additional information for the users. The holistic UI of the website makes it an interactive digital classroom—very important for students to take notes, assessments, keep scores, give mock exams, etc.

Brand Awareness

The website added a much need digital footprint for the client improving his brand awareness and web traffic in general.
