Creating a successful educational website requires a complete study of the various parts of the site, and it also requires a marketing study that begins with preparing the site for search engines and designing it in a simple way to provide an excellent user experience.
On this page, we will outline the general steps we took to develop an educational website that offers free continuous distance learning services for Arabic speakers.
The implementation of the project took more than three months of continuous work by the team, and the site is still undergoing ongoing development and updates to this day.
Educational Website Design Ide
The goal of building the website was to provide a non-profit social service that helps support continuous education in the Arab region and to create high-quality educational references that assist researchers in various scientific fields. The biggest challenge was to design the website at the lowest possible costs while adhering to global quality standards.
Corsati is a free educational platform that offers its educational services in Arabic.
In light of the rapid acceleration occurring in the world and the swift scientific transformation, the need for an advanced educational system that provides remote educational services has emerged to fill the existing educational gap. From this need, the idea for the project was born and developed.
Our platform is completely free!
Our platform supports continuous and unlimited learning, with no conditions to join and benefit from the available courses. All you need to join the platform is a desire to learn.
We acknowledge that the advertisements placed on the site play a significant role in covering the project’s expenses, so we apologize in advance if the displayed ads cause you any discomfort.
What courses do we offer?
We support lifelong learning, so all the courses we provide do not follow a governmental educational system but instead depend on the needs of individuals and the job market. The idea is backed by a dedicated team that offers its services completely for free.
Steps to Design an Educational Website
Designing an educational platform like “Kourses” requires careful planning and work, as the site should provide easy navigation for visitors and students. It should also feature an easy-to-use dashboard that helps site managers customize it with minimal effort. Therefore, we have compiled a comprehensive set of steps to achieve these goals:
Choosing the Right Hosting to Prepare the Design of an Educational Website
Choosing a reliable hosting service that can meet the site’s requirements is the first step. For educational websites, we expect high traffic and long durations spent by visitors on the site, so we focused on the following points when selecting hosting:
- High-speed hosting: for quick content loading.
- Always available: to ensure the site is constantly operational.
- Excellent technical support: to resolve any issues that may arise.
- Backups: to protect the site’s data.
After researching and studying, we booked hosting through Bluehost, one of the best in the world, to obtain a fast, responsive, and highly secure site. We also registered the domain name: corsatiforall.com to serve as the gateway to the site.
Programming the Website Suitable for Designing an Educational Site
After a thorough study of the site requirements, we decided to build the site using WordPress because it supports all the necessary services for the site. We also selected appropriate plugins to manage online courses efficiently. Additionally, we chose a fast-loading template that works well on various types of devices, allowing students to benefit from the courses on the site regardless of the device they own.
Preparing the Site with SEO Techniques
We focused on optimizing the site for search engines as they are the cornerstone of website traffic. Some of the steps we took include:
- Using appropriate plugins to improve the site.
- Creating relevant content with accurately targeted keywords.
- Optimizing the site’s speed.
- Ensuring content quality and displaying it excellently across different types of devices.
This is just a brief overview of the massive content optimization process that was carried out on the site, enabling it to rank highly in organic search results.
Effective Marketing
We relied on a set of marketing strategies to attract visitors to the site. Some of the steps we took included:
- Promotion via Social Media: To reach the targeted audience.
- Email Marketing: To maintain communication with students.
- Customized Blog Content: To attract visitors through search engines.
- Partnerships with Educational Institutions: To enhance cooperation and exchange experiences, thereby drawing more visitors to the site.
Ongoing Monitoring
Continuous monitoring is the key to success for any website, as many features need to be tested through experience. The steps we took in this area include:
- Reviewing Site Analytics: To understand visitor behavior.
- Regularly Updating Content and Plugins: To keep everything fresh and functional.
- Responding to User Feedback: To improve the user experience.
Profits
In the world of e-learning, achieving profitability from educational websites is a goal many creators pursue. Although the website we designed was intended for non-profit purposes, we worked to generate income to cover the operational costs of the site.
One effective way to achieve profitability is by using Google AdSense, which is an advertising service allowing website owners to display targeted ads on their platforms. The site was successfully linked with Google AdSense after meeting the enrollment criteria, generating monthly revenues for its owner.
With these steps, we designed the “Corsati” website to be an effective and professional educational platform. You can visit Korsaty and explore what we have accomplished!
