Georgia Test Prep helps students in grades 3–8 practice Georgia DOE-based Math and ELA questions, strengthen what they learn in school. To support this, the client partnered with The OrangeByte to design and develop a cloud-based platform with interactive practice module and features for parents to track progress and manage assignments.
Technology Stack
The OrangeByte chooses latest tools, techniques and software platforms to develop Georgia Test Prep web app.
Faced Challenges
While creating an intuitive and engaging design interface considering the audience, we had to first understand our client and their mindset. Of course, there were a few challenges we faced, but the prominent ones are:
- The first and the biggest challenge was the difference in Time zone. Live collaboration with a team during the different time zones was making it difficult to communicate with clients to get certain clarifications on time.
- Secondly, the client had a requirement to enable subscription options for the parents based on the number of students and based on the subscription different sets of tests and questions should be populated to the specific student. It was making design a little complicated.
- The third challenge was to enable role-based user management. It was a daunting task to get the details from different users based on their roles, consolidate the data, and enable specific modules or options in the portal.
- The last challenge was to work on an application that runs across all platforms – Web, iOS, and Android devices.
With a “Never Give Up” attitude and the motto of “Client Happiness”, the challenges were no more than a few enjoyable moments for us.
Project Approach
Building a seamless digital presence for Georgia Test Prep.
During the discovery phase of the project, our technology experts have brainstormed and envisioned the market. Considering the project requirements, the team found Laravel much suitable to accommodate all the client requirements while following the agile approach to deliver the solution.
The creative team has taken care of the designing aspect. Every individual screen was discussed in detail and designed per the defined user journey.
To implement the core functionality, such as subscription-based test prep material for the interested students and parents, our designers and developers have invested a tremendous amount of time to make it user-friendly and encouraging for the visitors to take action. A custom subject, test, and student report management module were integrated to offer instant access to the test suites, question sets, and reports/assignments. Also, we took help from our integration experts to integrate a payment gateway to capture the payment details from the user. Being Digital Ocean Partners, we hosted the web application on Digital Ocean in order to help clients achieve higher scalability, reliability, and performance.
