How We Created a E-Learning Certification Website for an White Label Client Partner?

We got a chance to partner with an India-based online educator who wanted to help students prepare for PTE, IELTS, GRE, GMAT, and SAT by offering mockup tests. Our client’s key objective was to get maximum coverage for its mockup test services across the country. They wanted to package the tests and sell it on a membership basis so they could earn substantial recurring revenue. They required a robust e-learning web application to deliver the mockup tests to the students.

    Overview

    We partnered with an India-based client who wanted to enter the e-learning industry. They wanted to help students prepare for PTE, IELTS, GRE, GMAT, and SAT and take part in mockup versions of the exam before they attend the actual exam. By offering such mockup tests, they wanted to give students an opportunity to find out the topics they have mastered so they can direct their focus on other areas they have to focus on. The client also had plans to upgrade the content based on the actual examination pattern conducted by the examination boards. So, they wanted to set up a robust web application with exceptional user experience.

    The client reached out to ColorWhistle to seek our expertise in e-learning web application development.

    Let’s take a look at how we helped this client set-up an amazing test preparation web application.

    Approach

    Here is our approach and how we developed the website from scratch to drive the business towards its vision.

    Website platform

    As the client required a user-friendly platform and an option to easily update content on their website on a regular basis, we decided to go with the WordPress platform for the application

    Domain name registration and web hosting

    Our client already had a domain name in mind, so we looked them up and it was available. We registered for the domain name and then bought the hosting from SiteGround. Later we migrated to Digital Ocean hosting for scaling purposes

    Design

    For this project, the client gave us the design of the website

    Development

    Once we got the website design from the client, we started with the development work

    - Dashboard creation

    The dashboard had score predictor (auto-calculates scores), practice questions (total number of practice tests pending), results of each test (displayed in a bar chart) and performance summary

    - Plugins used

    We used plugins such as Ultimate Membership Pro plugin, Advanced Custom Fields Pro (to add extra content fields and display dynamic content), Newsletter Subscription (to grow email list), and User Role Editor (manage various user roles and capabilities)

    - Test pages

    For custom post type, reordering questions, and random number generation, we created custom codes using the Recoder.JS library Ultimate Membership Pro plugin – We used this plugin to add/create features such as membership types, membership packages, PayPal payment integration, coupons, lock rules, and MailChimp integration

    - Login for teachers

    We created a separate login for the teachers so they can evaluate the answers

    - Speed optimization

    Our developers also worked on the site speed and page speed to give a better user experience to the students

    Testing, review, and launch

    After the development phase, we did a thorough functional testing. We also double-checked to find out if all the content files were uploaded properly. We submitted the final website to the client for review. They requested a few changes and our developers made it. Once the client was completely satisfied, we made the website viewable to the public

    Result

    Our team designed and delivered a web application that addressed the client’s specific requirements and a complete online learning solution optimized for the needs of the students’ staff and administrator. We also made sure that the web application was fully responsive. Additionally, our team made the application future-proof with the possibility to upgrade it with new features. Here are some results they experienced once the website was moved to live.
