Guidance Welfare Foundation
The Problem
Traditional Islamic educational institutions struggled with digital transformation, lacking modern tools for student management, course delivery, and progress tracking, while requiring cultural and religious sensitivity in design and functionality.
The Solution
A comprehensive LMS specifically designed for Islamic education with role-based access, automated testing, payment processing, and real-time analytics, built with enterprise-grade architecture to scale for growing educational institutions.
Project Overview
Guidance Welfare Foundation is a comprehensive Islamic Educational Platform built as a full-stack Learning Management System serving over 100 active learners. This enterprise-grade application demonstrates advanced software architecture, scalable system design, and production-ready deployment practices.
The platform features comprehensive role-based access control with distinct admin and student permissions, advanced test management system with multiple question types and auto-grading capabilities, payment processing workflow supporting multiple payment methods (UPI/Cash/Bank transfers), PWA (Progressive Web App) capabilities with offline functionality, and real-time analytics dashboard with custom database views.
The system architecture includes 15+ interconnected database tables with optimized queries and indexing, advanced caching strategies achieving 60-80% reduction in API calls through React Query optimization, automated attendance tracking with flexible scheduling (daily/weekly/bi-weekly), course management system with progress tracking and personalized dashboards.
Built using cutting-edge technologies including Next.js 15 with App Router for optimal performance, TypeScript for type safety and developer experience, Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL for robust data management, Clerk Authentication for secure user management, React Query for efficient data fetching and caching, Tailwind CSS for responsive design, and PWA features for app-like experience.
This project showcases distributed system design principles, database optimization techniques, scalable web architecture applicable to educational technology research, and enterprise-grade performance with real-world production deployment.
