Learning platforms fail for unglamorous reasons: they are slow on a mid-range phone, they assume a stable connection, and they were designed for the administrator rather than the student. We build for the opposite case.
Codebumble builds education software for schools, colleges and training institutes in Bangladesh and beyond: institution websites, student databases, admissions systems, student and parent portals and learning platforms. Everything is built to work on a mid-range phone and a slow connection, and to handle Bangla properly, not just display it.
We built the website and student database for Dinajpur Textile Institute, which has run for three years and serves more than two thousand students. If a ready-made system fits, our School & College Management system starts at $149 a month. If it does not, we build what your institution needs.
The problem
Institutional software is usually bought on a feature list and lived with for a decade. The result is a system where enrolling a student takes fourteen clicks, the parent portal is unusable on a phone, and half the staff keep a private spreadsheet because it is faster than the official process. The features were all present. The daily experience was never designed.
Course structure, lessons, assignments and assessment, with progress that a student can see and a teacher can act on.
Results, attendance, fees and announcements in one place, designed mobile-first because that is the only device most families will use.
Online applications, document upload, review workflow and offers, replacing the email-and-spreadsheet process most institutions are still running.
Fast, accessible public sites for schools, colleges and training providers, with the prospectus, news and admissions funnel that recruitment depends on.
Existing student records, payment providers, identity systems and reporting requirements, connected rather than replaced where replacing would be reckless.
Our approach
Enrolment week, results day and fee deadlines are when these systems break. We design around the peaks and the edge cases, because those are the days that decide whether staff trust the software.
A mid-range Android phone on a slow connection is the baseline we test against, not the exception. Everything else is comfortably fast by consequence.
Education software has a legal and moral obligation here that a marketing site does not. WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard operation and screen-reader testing are part of the build rather than a remediation project afterwards.
Tech stack
What we reach for first, and what we will argue you out of.
Education 2023
The institute had lost the credentials to its own hosting, domain and WordPress site, so nobody could update it and nobody could secure it. We replaced it with a site the staff control, and the student database WordPress was never going to give them.
A thirty-minute call, no deck and no obligation. You will leave with a straight answer about whether this is worth building - including if that answer is no.
