By harnessing the power of NoCode development, we not only accelerate the creation of new applications but also enhance the ability of our clients to adapt and respond to evolving

The Challenge: Custom Software Development for Education Using a NoCode Development Platform

Maria Schools needed to transform their existing Airtable-based system into a robust, custom-built platform. The project required the development of complex applications to cater to the diverse needs of their users, necessitating a desktop-first approach while ensuring responsive design for all users. As an innovative training center, they sought a technological solution that would not only maintain their current efficiency but also scale with their expanding needs.

We selected Bubble as the platform for this project because of its outstanding capabilities in NoCode development. Bubble provides a comprehensive range of tools that facilitate rapid prototyping and deployment, making it an ideal choice for developing complex applications. Its ability to manage intricate workflows and seamlessly integrate with various services made it perfectly suited for Maria Schools' needs. Additionally, Bubble's emphasis on security and scalability ensures that the platform can evolve alongside the institution, addressing both current and future demands effectively.

Understanding Business Processes

Meetings with the operations manager were pivotal in understanding the intricate business processes at Maria Schools. These discussions provided valuable insights into the specific activities, tasks, and decisions that drive organizational goals. This deep understanding was crucial for effective development, ensuring that the applications created truly supported and enhanced these workflows.

NoCode development platforms worked wonders by offering robust tools and features that enabled users to model and automate these processes seamlessly. This capability allowed for the creation of applications precisely tailored to the unique needs of the organization, providing real value and improving efficiency. By leveraging NoCode platforms, users were able to streamline their business processes, reduce manual effort, and enhance overall productivity, ultimately contributing to the project's success.

Web Design Solution for Business Processes

In just three to four weeks, Kreante's design team, comprising skilled professionals, crafted a visually engaging platform using Bubble.io's powerful features. The design process focused on creating a desktop-optimized interface that performs flawlessly across all devices through responsive design principles.

The web application design included three main interfaces, each tailored to specific user needs.

• The administrative dashboard, fully designed in Bubble.io, offers a robust desktop interface for managing training data, course creation, and community engagement. The platform integrates various visual elements, ensuring responsive functionality on all devices.

• For students, the design emphasizes accessibility and user experience. The responsive interface guarantees a consistent and professional experience whether accessing training materials from a desktop or checking course updates on other devices. Automated features like digital certificates highlight the versatility of nocode development with Bubble.io.

• The teacher’s interface merges sophisticated functionality with intuitive design. By leveraging Bubble.io’s capabilities, we developed a comprehensive system for tracking student progress and managing educational resources, all while maintaining responsive design principles for flexible access. This demonstrates the extensive possibilities achievable with Bubble.io in a short timeframe.
