An EdTech course platform built on Next.js.

LearnLeap is an EdTech company selling online courses. The platform needed public course pages that could rank in search, a student experience with dashboards and progress tracking, payments, and an admin where the content team could publish without engineering help. SpikeSecure built it as a Next.js web application and continues to work with the product team on the roadmap. The head of product says SpikeSecure understands product, not just code, and ships faster than the in-house team.

Course platforms have two halves that pull in different directions: marketing pages that must load fast and rank, and a logged-in learning experience that must feel like an app. Off-the-shelf learning tools handled one half poorly. The in-house team was small and needed a partner who could ship product, not just tickets.

The objectives were: SEO-ready course pages, a student dashboard with lesson progress and certificates, online payments with receipts, an admin for course publishing, and a codebase the in-house team could own and extend.

The public site is designed for people comparing courses, with clear outcomes, curriculum and pricing; the learning area is designed for people who want to get on with the lesson. Progress is always visible and resuming is one tap. The admin was built with the content team so publishing a course takes minutes, not a request to engineering.

• Front end: Next.js with server-rendered public pages for search performance and client-rendered dashboards for a fast logged-in experience. Why we use Next.js →
• API and data: a typed backend API with a relational database for courses, enrolments, progress and payments.
• Payments: online payment integration with automated receipts and access provisioning on success.
• Video: hosted video with protected access for enrolled students.
• Ownership and collaboration: the codebase, cloud and payment accounts are the client's; SpikeSecure works alongside the in-house team on the roadmap.

Learning portals and EdTech SaaS builds, with price ranges, are described on the education industry page.

“They understand product, not just code. Our roadmap meetings with SpikeSecure are some of the best we have — they ship faster than our in-house team and bring sharper ideas to the table.”
