An online school diary for a language school — project preview
01

goal

A local language school asked us to create a tool for communicating with parents. We took on the challenge and developed an online school diary.

payments

We integrated payments and built notifications for overdue balances and discounts.

calendar

We created a school-wide calendar and individual calendars for each user.

app

To make access easier, we added the option to install the app on a phone.

announcements

Individual and group announcements simplify communication with students and parents.

02

design

design

  • Figma
  • Mobile First
  • Prototype

Parents, children and teachers were all given access to the system. What mattered most to us was a simple message.

We chose the schedule and the calendar as the main views - they are the heart of the project and show the most important information.

We put particular emphasis on presenting upcoming classes, payments and messages from the teacher on a single screen.

03

development

front-end

  • HTML5
  • SCSS
  • JavaScript

back-end

  • Laravel

We focused on smooth operation and placing features where users of widely different ages would expect to find them. We achieved that goal.

04

results

  • 60 days of work
  • 80 screens
  • 500+ users

My small business is very happy working with Dock. We are in constant contact, so I know my questions or concerns will be answered shortly. I can focus fully on my work because I know my website is in really good hands.

faq

What you need to know before we start

How much does a website cost?

It depends on the scope: a landing page, a corporate site and a shop with integrations are three different projects. After a short call we send a price range and a scope proposal, and only then a quote.

How long does a project take?

A landing page takes two to four weeks, a corporate site six to ten, a shop with integrations three months and up. The schedule goes out with the quote and we report progress every week.

Do you take over existing sites and shops?

Yes. We start with a technical audit, list what needs fixing first, and take over maintenance once we both know what we are dealing with.

What does working together look like?

Discovery, design, build, tests, launch, and then care. You have one contact person and access to the panel where you can see the project status.

Do you offer an SLA and support after launch?

Yes. Maintenance packages include reaction times, updates, backups and monitoring. Scope and reaction times are set in the contract.

Do you help meet WCAG and EAA requirements?

Yes, this is one of our specialities. We run accessibility audits, remediate sites and shops, and provide the dockaccess.org widget.

How do we communicate during a project?

By whatever works for you: e-mail, Slack, Mattermost or a weekly call. Decisions land in writing so nothing depends on someone remembering a conversation.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, before the first technical conversation if you prefer.

Do you work with clients abroad?

Yes. We work in Polish and English, and we deliver projects for clients across Europe.

Where is the best place to start?

With a short conversation. You do not need a finished specification or a clear idea of the solution you need. Tell us about your business, the challenges you have and the goals you want to reach.

During the call we will help you set the direction and propose the next steps.
