Currently assisting over a growing list of students to gain admittance to US universities, our client started to achieve success with overseas customers. With the expansion of his consultancy services, he needed a robust platform to store, share and track student admittance information with parents. However, this client required a low-cost development solution with a vigorous database framework usually afforded to fully customized, high-cost platforms.
Combining our expertise in database development with the no-code platform Bubble.io, we created a low-cost platform that satisfied the client's requirements. We provided a robust student and parent portal that securely stores data and matches the client's existing branding. They now have a functional solution effectively implemented on their website.
No-code is a form of development that, as the name suggests, requires no programming to build an application. At Idea Maker, we use Bubble.io for no-code solutions. It provides a wide range of versatile features that allow us to create excellent developments at a low cost to our clients.
The platform's drag-and-drop UI means the development process is streamlined without having to cut corners on quality. As our client’s business is rapidly expanding, we decided a no-code development was the best option.
We developed separate login portals for students, parents, and staff to access with different data views. This allows all parties to monitor, track and share secure information, making the admittance process a collaborative experience.
Vying for university admittance is a stressful time. We kept this in mind while building the portal information view. As well as ensuring information is stored securely, we developed an intuitive UI so that users can effortlessly view data.
With the addition of an easy-to-use notation system, staff members can modify existing information and send sharable memos across the portal. This makes clear communication and accurate data handling a simple process.
Client Success Stories
Idea Maker has done an amazing job of delivering and responding to our needs.
The team was very responsive and easy to work with. They are professional, talented, and experienced team. They were able to meet all our requirements.
Idea Maker is distinguished for their personalized collaboration and white glove services. The team is dependable and reliable, sticking to the project's plan, offering feedback, and pushing back on the right things.
The way they understand the requirements we present to them is fairly solid. Both in terms of bringing their own interpretation in nailing the requirements and their design sense. By the time we launched, I had gotten significantly more value from our collaboration than what we had discussed in the original specs.
This is a boutique development firm where the Founder is directly involved with the project and the primary contact. This is unlike many development firms where you are simply handed off to developers that are not stakeholders. This is an important distinction that results in much better project accountability.
I have never had a site like this built before. I felt that Idea Maker and Tom had built numerous sites like this, and they were pros.
Idea Maker's portfolio is what drew us in. Their design style was in alignment with what we were after. We had initial consultations with 3 companies that we had narrowed it down to. Once we had our initial meeting with Tom at Idea Maker we knew we had the right choice to make. Their communication style works well for us.
Their customer service is excellent — they’re incredibly accessible and available, which I appreciate. Furthermore, they have enough experience and bandwidth to fulfill all my needs. They’re one of the best vendors I’ve worked with.
