adminBusiness Overview
Our Startup Education company/website is a groundbreaking educational platform designed specifically for the UAE market. Our mission is to revolutionize the way families discover and choose schools for their children. We empower parents with a unique dual approach:
Robust Search Engine: Utilize extensive filtering options to narrow down your search based on location, curriculum, fees, ratings, facilities, and more.
AI-powered School Compatibility Test: This innovative tool analyzes your responses to carefully designed questions and matches you with schools that best suit your child’s needs and your preferences. This comprehensive approach caters to diverse user styles and provides reliable information for confident decision-making. We plan to expand across the MENA region, adapting to each country’s unique educational landscape.
Project Description
We are seeking a skilled web developer (WordPress Specialist) to create the Full WordPress Website for our educational platform, MySchoolUAE.com. This initial website will focus on core functionalities to validate our business model and gather user feedback. The Website will serve as the foundation for future development, ultimately mirroring an established website to be shared later. We would want someone who we can work with going forward for changes required in the future.
Objectives
WordPress Website Development: Build a user-friendly WordPress website with all core features.
School Listings with Search Functionality: Allow users to search schools based on essential criteria like location, curriculum, fees, ratings, and educational approach (public, private, bilingual, etc.), enhanced by engaging headlines and subheadlines to capture attention.
User Registration and Login: Enable users to create accounts for personalized experiences supported by clear calls to action (CTA) for user registration and feedback.
Simplified AI Compatibility Test: Develop a compatibility test inspired by another website’s "Affinity Test" to provide users with personalized school recommendations based on key inputs.
User Feedback Mechanism: Implement a system (forms, surveys) for users to submit feedback and suggestions, facilitating ongoing improvement with analytics integration for tracking user behavior and feedback.
School Management Interface: Provide an intuitive platform for schools to add, update, and manage their details. This includes uploading photos, videos (or video links), descriptions, and information like contact details, curriculum offerings, and facilities.
Scalability and Future Development: While the website prioritizes core features, it should be built with future expansions in mind if changes are required. The architecture should seamlessly integrate additional functionalities as the platform evolves (WordPress plug ins)
Requirements
Technical Skills: Proficiency in WordPress for both front-end and back-end development. Experience with WordPress plugins for additional functionalities.
Proficiency in web development languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and a backend framework (Django, Ruby on Rails). Experience with database management and user interface design is essential.
Educational Platform Experience: Prior experience building educational websites or platforms, particularly those with personalized services, is highly desirable.
SEO and Local Markets: Knowledge of SEO best practices and the ability to create region-specific content, particularly for the UAE market, is crucial.
Key Features for the Website
School Listings: Provide information about schools with filtering options based on location, curriculum, fees, government rankings, and parent review scores, featuring high-quality visuals to illustrate the user experience.
User Accounts: Users can register, log in, and manage their profiles with user testimonials and trust signals for credibility.
AI Compatibility Test (Simplified): This will use key criteria to offer personalized school recommendations inspired by another website’s "Affinity Test."
Feedback System: Allow users to provide feedback through simple forms or surveys.
Monetization Strategy
Listing Fees: Schools pay for premium placement or enhanced profiles within the platform.
Lead Generation: Connect users with schools for a fee upon successful inquiries.
Subscription Models (Future): Offer tiered subscription options for schools with advanced features.
Consulting Services (Future): Explore offering personalized consulting services to families, guiding them through the school selection process and potentially assisting with relocation needs. This would be a value-added service for families seeking expert support.
Design and Functionality Reference
The website should resemble another website (to be provided in our discussions) that has a user-friendly and sophisticated design, replicating its dual functionality approach (search engine and AI test).
Additional Considerations for Website Development
Content Management System (CMS): Use WordPress to allow for easier content updates (school listings) without relying solely on developers.
Multilingual Support (Optional): While the focus is on English and Arabic initially, consider potential future needs for additional languages based on your target audience.
Deliverables
A fully functional website for the educational platform hosted on our chosen domain.
Source code and necessary documentation for the platform’s operation.
A roadmap outlining estimated timelines and key development milestones.
Budget: $1,000
