Comprehensive CMS & LMS Development

Our expertise covers the full product lifecycle, ensuring your institution utilizes the right technology for its unique needs.

1. Advanced Content Management Systems (CMS)

We craft high-performance digital portals, faculty directories, and student intranets. Our higher ed CMS solutions are agnostic, meaning we match the right platform to your infrastructure:

  • Headless CMS: We specialize in Strapi, Contentful, and Sanity for institutions needing flexibility to push content across multiple devices.

  • Enterprise Systems: Support for complex environments like TYPO3 and Adobe Commerce.

  • Learning Management Systems (LMS): We implement and customize Moodle LMS to create seamless virtual learning environments.

Technology Stack:

  • Back-End: Node.js, Python (Django/Flask), PHP (Laravel), Java (Spring Boot).

2. Mobile Applications for the Campus Experience

Connect with students on the devices they use every day. We build engaging applications for course registration, campus maps, and student life.

  • Native Development: Android (Kotlin/Java) and iOS (Swift/SwiftUI).

  • Cross-Platform: Flutter and React Native for unified codebases that save budget without sacrificing performance.

3. AI & Machine Learning for Student Support

Unlock the power of data to personalize the student journey.

  • Data Analysis: Core AI/ML using Python (TensorFlow, PyTorch) to analyze enrollment trends and student success metrics.

4. Specialized Enterprise Integrations

A higher ed CMS solution must integrate with existing infrastructure. We provide custom integration for:
