Project Summary

ILLUMINZ designed and built an education-technology web platform, producing sketches, mockups, HTML pages and backend implementation using HTML, PHP, Apache and MySQL. They provided iterative design work and implemented pages on client-hosted servers while delivering ongoing maintenance and bug fixes. The engagement supported measurable adoption in the public education market and helped the client scale cost-effectively.

Key Challenges

  • Need for high-quality website design and UX talent
  • Build a consumer-friendly, market-facing product for school-district employees
  • Ensure designs were feasible to implement with available development resources

Project Deliverables

  • Website designs and mockups
  • HTML web pages implementation
  • Backend development (PHP, MySQL, Apache)
  • Ongoing maintenance and bug fixes on client-hosted servers

Project Solution

ILLUMINZ produced UX designs, sketches, and mockups and then implemented the design as HTML pages and backend code using PHP and MySQL on the client's Linux/Apache servers. The vendor worked inside the client's hosting environment, fixed bugs and made ongoing changes, and delivered iterative sample pages to validate design decisions. The engagement began with a small 4–5 person UX and development team and later shifted toward a larger development focus with ongoing engineering support.

Project Outcome

  • Partnership resulted in adoption across a significant percentage of New York State's ~700 school districts
  • Tens of thousands of employees use the product daily
  • Delivered cost savings of approximately $25,000–$50,000 compared to hiring internally
  • Improved user and stakeholder resonance through iterative sample pages and design validation
