Building a website and mobile app for your business is more than just going digital; it’s about creating a smooth experience for your users. In this case study, we are sharing how we helped our client, CmeShine, bring their vision of an online dance studio management platform to life. From design to deployment, we developed a secure and interactive system for students, parents, and dance studio/instructors.
Client Name: CmeShine
Industry: Dance Studio / EdTech
Platform: Online Web & Mobile App for Dance Management
CmeShine is a unique platform designed for dance studios, dancers, teachers, and parents. It serves as a secure, interactive, and community-driven solution for managing dance classes, events, and communication in real-time.
Project Objective
CmeShine approached AlphaKlick with the vision to create a secure, engaging, and easy-to-use digital platform for the dance community. The primary objective was to build a full-stack system, from the ground up, that could manage the day-to-day operations of dance studios while ensuring a safe online environment for children and smooth communication between all users.
Our goal was to deliver a platform that would:
- Manage Student Registrations
- Schedule and Manage Classes
- Offer a Secure Social Community
- Facilitate Direct Communication
- Enable Online Payments and Event Ticketing
- Allow Parental Oversight for Minors
Our Solution
To bring CmeShine’s vision to life, AlphaKlick delivered a complete end-to-end digital solution, covering everything from discovery and design to development, testing, deployment, and post-launch support. We built a robust, scalable platform that works smoothly across web and mobile environments.
1. UI/UX Design: We design a clean, intuitive, and visually engaging interface that appeals to both young dancers and adult users. The CmeShine platform design ensures easy navigation, age-appropriate visuals, and accessibility across all devices.
2. Custom Web Application: The core of the platform was built using PHP and Laravel, offering a powerful backend with flexible architecture. It supports role-based access, content management, scheduling, and real-time communication.
3. Android Mobile App: We developed a mobile app using native Android development with Android Studio and Java. The Android app offers full access to all key platform features, including chats, social feeds, class schedules, and event registration, optimized for smooth performance.
4. iOS Mobile App: The iOS mobile app was built in Swift, providing iPhone and iPad users with a responsive and secure interface, keeping design consistency and performance at the forefront.
5. Real-Time Features: We integrated secure chat and group chat functionalities, with support for instant notifications and backend moderation to ensure safe and productive conversations.
6. Media Sharing with Content Filtering: Students and studios can share photos and videos within a private network. Our smart moderation tools automatically detect and filter inappropriate content to maintain a positive community environment.
7. Payment Gateway Integration: Users can pay for classes, register for events, or subscribe to studio plans through a secure online payment system embedded into the platform.
8. Event & Subscription Management: Organizers can create and manage events, handle ticket sales online, and set up recurring subscription models with automated access control.
9. Age-Based Access & Parental Control: Profiles for children under 13 are fully managed by their parents. This ensures privacy, security, and compliance with digital safety standards for minors.
10. Testing, UAT & Maintenance: We conducted extensive quality assurance and user acceptance testing (UAT) before launch. Post-deployment, we continue to provide updates, bug fixes, and support.
Core Features Delivered
1. User Registration & Role Management: Users can register as dancers, parents, teachers, or admins, each with customized access. Children under 13 are restricted from creating independent profiles and must be managed by a parent.
2. Class Scheduling & Management: Teachers can schedule classes, assign students, and track attendance. Students and parents get real-time updates and can view all sessions in a simple calendar format.
3. Secure Communication: The platform includes one-on-one and group chat features, with message filters and monitoring tools to ensure safe and appropriate conversations at all times.
4. Dance Social Network: Users can share dance videos and photos within a closed community. Features like likes, comments, and friend lists are supported, with automated moderation for safety.
5. Event & Ticketing System: Studios can create events, manage registrations, and sell tickets online. The platform also supports recurring subscriptions and attendance tracking.
6. Online Payments: Integrated payment functionality allows users to pay for classes, events, and subscriptions securely within the platform, with instant confirmations.
