We start with a structured discovery session to understand your learners, your content model, your compliance requirements, and your success metrics. Deliverables include a detailed product requirements document, technology recommendation, and a fixed-scope project plan you can present to your board or stakeholders.
Learner-centered design is not the same as general UX. We design interfaces that reduce cognitive load, guide learners through complex content without losing them, and give instructors and administrators control without overwhelming them. All designs go through accessibility review (WCAG 2.1 AA).
We work in 2-week sprints with a shared project board, weekly stakeholder demos, and documented acceptance criteria for every feature. You see working software at the end of each sprint, not only status updates. Your team has direct access to the development Slack channel throughout.
Before launch, every education app we ship goes through functional testing, performance testing under load, accessibility testing, and a compliance review against applicable standards (FERPA, COPPA, GDPR, SCORM). We prepare app store submissions, configure analytics, and set up monitoring before handing over.
We offer post-launch support packages that include bug resolution, performance optimization, feature additions, and ongoing analytics review. Most of our education app clients continue working with us on roadmap iterations after the initial release.

An LMS, or Learning Management System, is a purpose-built platform for managing, delivering, and tracking educational courses at scale. It is typically used by organizations with large learner populations. A custom education app is a broader category that includes any application designed for learning. This can include a standalone mobile tutoring app, a skills assessment tool, a virtual classroom, or a gamified learning experience. Many clients start with an MVP and gradually evolve it into a full LMS.
A basic MVP or eLearning app typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. A full-featured LMS or AI-powered platform takes 16 to 24 weeks, depending on integration complexity, compliance requirements, and the number of user roles. We provide a fixed project plan with milestone dates during the discovery phase so you can plan effectively.
We work with both. We have supported EdTech founders building their first product and enterprise clients deploying corporate training platforms across large user bases. Our engagement model scales based on the size and stage of your organization.
AI enables personalization at scale, which is difficult to achieve manually across large learner groups. In our platforms, AI is used for adaptive content delivery that adjusts difficulty based on learner performance, intelligent course recommendations, automated assessment feedback, early dropout prediction, and conversational tutoring through voice and chat interfaces.
Costs typically range from approximately $20,000 for a basic MVP to $200,000 or more for an enterprise-grade, AI-powered eLearning ecosystem. The exact cost depends on scope, number of platforms, AI features, compliance requirements, and integrations. Share your requirements with us and we will provide a detailed estimate within 24 hours.
Yes. Most of our education app clients continue working with us after launch for performance optimization, new feature development, and platform scaling. We offer structured post-launch support packages with defined SLAs.
