We build learning management systems, application portals, and student-facing platforms with the accessibility, performance, and usability that modern learners expect from their institution.

The Challenge
Your admissions funnel starts strong with marketing, but 40% of applicants abandon the process when they hit a multi-page form that doesn't save progress, requires formats they don't understand, or crashes on mobile. Every abandoned application is a lost enrollment and wasted recruitment spend.
Off-the-shelf LMS platforms are feature-bloated and slow. Faculty spend hours figuring out how to upload a syllabus. Students can't find their assignments. When the learning platform creates more friction than learning, engagement drops and course completion rates suffer across every program.
A 200-page PDF course catalog forces prospective students to hunt for programs instead of discovering them. Without search, filters by department or format, and structured program pages, your website fails to help the most motivated visitors find the program that fits their goals.
Educational institutions face increasing legal action for inaccessible digital content. Screen reader incompatibility, missing video captions, and keyboard navigation failures exclude students with disabilities and expose the institution to OCR complaints and ADA litigation.
Our Approach
We build accessible, performant educational web platforms — from application portals to LMS interfaces — designed around the actual workflows of students, faculty, and administrators, not the limitations of legacy software.
We build multi-step application forms with auto-save, progress indicators, conditional sections, document upload with drag-and-drop, and mobile optimization. Applicants can start on their phone and finish on a laptop. Status tracking keeps prospective students informed without calling admissions.
We build custom learning interfaces or create a modern wrapper around your existing LMS (Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard) via LTI integration. The result is a branded, streamlined experience where students access coursework, submit assignments, and view grades without navigating bloated menus.
We build a dynamic course catalog with full-text search, filters by department, format, schedule, and credit type, and individual program pages optimized for SEO. Prospective students discover programs through organic search and compare options without downloading PDFs.
We build a centralized student portal with single sign-on, personalized dashboards, financial aid status, event calendars, and notification management. The portal aggregates data from your SIS, LMS, and financial systems into one interface — reducing the number of logins and systems students navigate daily.
Results
FAQ
Yes. We integrate with Ellucian Banner, PeopleSoft, Jenzabar, and other SIS platforms through their APIs or data exchange protocols. Student records, enrollment data, financial aid status, and academic history flow into the portal automatically. For systems without APIs, we build secure ETL pipelines to keep data synchronized.
We build every page to WCAG 2.1 AA standards with semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, screen reader support, captioned video, and sufficient color contrast. For faculty-uploaded content, we provide accessibility checkers in the CMS that flag issues before publishing. We also conduct manual testing with assistive technology and provide remediation training for content editors.
Yes. We build course structures that support fully online, hybrid, and in-person formats with format-specific features — live session scheduling with video integration for online learners, room assignments for in-person students, and combined views for hybrid courses. The interface adapts to the course format so students always see relevant information.
We build a shared platform with campus-specific configurations — each school or campus gets branded landing pages, its own course catalog, and localized event calendars while sharing authentication, core infrastructure, and design system components. Administrative roles control who can edit what at each campus level.
A core student portal with SSO, dashboard, course schedule, grades, and notifications takes 10 to 14 weeks. Adding application portal, financial aid integration, and LMS wrapper extends to 16 to 22 weeks. We deliver in phases — authentication and dashboard first, then integrations — so students start benefiting early while deeper features are built out.
