Project overview
Joshdan Academy is a comprehensive educational institution serving students from the pre-nursery level up through secondary school. While the school maintained excellent academic standards, its administrative and admissions processes were highly traditional, creating a significant barrier to modern enrollment.
Credevnet collaborated with Joshdan Academy to design and develop a single, unified digital platform. The goal was to modernize the school's image, significantly simplify the admissions process for parents, and create an efficient system for managing inquiries and onboarding new students.
Client challenges & requirements
Before the project, Joshdan Academy faced several common challenges in the education sector:
- Inefficient Enrollment: The admissions process relied heavily on parents physically visiting the school to collect, fill out, and submit paper forms, limiting reach and causing administrative bottlenecks.
- Limited Outreach: The school lacked a professional digital presence to effectively showcase its academic programs, facilities, and student achievements to prospective parents.
- Scattered Inquiries: Leads (parental inquiries) arrived via phone calls, emails, and physical visits, making them difficult to track, qualify, and follow up on consistently.
- Poor Online Image: The lack of a modern, responsive website did not reflect the quality of the education being offered, negatively impacting credibility.
- Responsive Website: A professional, easy-to-navigate website detailing the curriculum for all levels (Pre-Nursery, Nursery, Primary, Secondary).
- Online Inquiry System: A secure form to capture parental details and specific questions, feeding into a centralized database.
- Digital Admissions Portal: Functionality allowing parents to fill out and submit application forms online, including document uploads.
- Student Onboarding Module: A secure area to manage the first steps of student enrollment post-acceptance (e.g., fee payment links, uniform details, orientation schedules).
- SEO Optimization: Strategies to ensure the school ranks highly for local searches (e.g., "Best Secondary School near me," "Pre-Nursery Makurdi").
Project solution
Credevnet developed a comprehensive, user-friendly website integrated with customized administrative modules:
- Modern, Level-Specific Design: Built a dynamic website with clear, separate sections dedicated to the unique needs and curricula of the Pre-Nursery/Nursery, Primary, and Secondary levels.
- Centralized Inquiry Management: Implemented a secure contact and inquiry form that automatically routes leads to the admissions team, tracking status and facilitating timely follow-up.
- Online Admissions Form Module: Developed a robust, multi-step digital form that replaced paper applications. This included fields for personal data, medical history, and required document uploads, simplifying the parent experience.
- Onboarding and Fee Integration: Created secure, private pages accessible upon acceptance to streamline post-enrollment steps, including links to fee payment portals and downloadable orientation guides.
- SEO and Content Strategy: Optimized content, images, and meta-data to boost visibility for local searches, ensuring Joshdan Academy is easily discoverable by parents in the target region.
Result and impacts
The new digital platform transformed Joshdan Academy's enrollment pipeline and external image:
- Increased Enrollment Reach: The ability to submit forms online removed physical barriers, leading to a wider pool of applicants and a measurable increase in inquiries.
- 75% Reduction in Administrative Load: The admissions team shifted from managing paper files and manual data entry to efficiently managing digital leads and forms, improving productivity.
- Enhanced Professional Credibility: The modern, informative website now accurately reflects the quality of the school, instilling greater trust and confidence in prospective parents.
- Streamlined Onboarding: The new system allows the school to quickly and professionally onboard accepted students, improving the parent experience and setting a positive tone for the new academic year.
The website successfully positioned Joshdan Academy as a leading institution in the region, ready for scalable growth and offering a seamless, modern admissions experience to parents.
