In our ongoing mission to leverage technology for educational empowerment, we recently collaborated with Bridge & Alther Web App redesign their platforms and significantly upgrade the user experience. Our team took on the challenge of developing an end-to-end project utilizing Angular and .NET technologies to ensure robust and scalable solutions. This case study explores the unique roles of Bridge and Alther, our contributions, and the outcomes of our collaboration.

Alther: Empowering Students in India

Alther Consulting Pvt. Ltd. is a female-founded higher education consulting firm with a noble mission: to empower students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds across India.

Bridge: Connecting Students with Mentors

Bridge is a pioneering platform designed to bridge the gap between students, alumni, and industry experts. By offering personalized mentorship tailored to individual educational and career goals, Bridge significantly enhances students’ academic and vocational prospects. The platform’s core mission is to connect students with professionals who provide practical advice rooted in real-world experience.

Features we have developed for Bridge & Alther

• Connect with Mentors: We have streamlined the process for students to create comprehensive profiles, including basic details, academic information, and future aspirations. This profile setup ensures that students present a complete picture of their background and goals, making it easier for mentors to offer targeted advice.
• Track and Discover: We developed features allowing students to track their booked calls with mentors, join group sessions, and discover available mentors. This functionality ensures students can manage their interactions and maximize the available mentorship opportunities.
• Explore Mentors: Our team implemented advanced filtering options, enabling students to search for mentors based on universities, locations, and other criteria. We also created comprehensive mentor profiles, providing detailed insights into mentors’ backgrounds and expertise, which helps students find the best match for their needs.
• Schedule a Calls: We have facilitated an intuitive call scheduling system, where students can select a date, choose the duration, upload relevant documents, and add specific details for their mentoring sessions. This user-friendly approach ensures that scheduling is hassle-free and efficient.
• Profile Management: Both students and mentors can view and edit their profiles. This feature ensures that users can keep their information up-to-date, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the mentorship program.

Our Role in Elevating Alther

• User-Centric Design: We designed an intuitive website for Alther that prioritizes ease of use. We focused on ensuring students and parents could access information and resources quickly. The user-centric design enhances the overall experience, making it more straightforward for users to find what they need.
• Enhanced Navigation: Simplified navigation was an essential aspect of our redesign. We structured the website to help users explore Alther’s services and efficiently get the assistance they need. Clear and straightforward navigation paths ensure that users can quickly find relevant information.
• Scalability: We created a scalable design that allows Alther to expand its online presence seamlessly. As the firm grows and introduces new services, the website can easily accommodate these changes, ensuring long-term usability and relevance.

Technological Implementation

• Angular and .NET: The choice of Angular and .NET for developing both platforms was strategic. Angular provides a dynamic and responsive front-end experience, while .NET ensures a robust and scalable back-end. This combination allows for a seamless user experience and reliable performance.
• End-to-End Development: Our team handled the entire development process, from initial design to final deployment. This end-to-end approach ensured that every aspect of the platforms was carefully considered and executed to meet the specific needs of Bridge and Alther.
• User Testing and Feedback: We conducted extensive user testing to gather feedback from students, mentors, and other stakeholders. This iterative process allowed us to make necessary adjustments and improvements, ensuring that the final product met the highest standards of usability and functionality.

Impact and Outcomes
