Theme-driven educational website and content-management starter built with Next.js
EduCanvas is a project template created to make a real workflow clearer, faster, and easier to trust. It turns a focused product idea into something people can use, evaluate, and understand without needing to inspect the source code.
Why EduCanvas exists
Education organizations need familiar public information and publishing workflows, but cloning whole codebases per institution creates drift and costly maintenance.
The goal is not simply to add another tool. EduCanvas is designed to reduce the friction around that problem and give people a more dependable way to complete the work.
What it delivers
- Developers can deploy one starter for three institution categories.
- Administrators can publish content and manage enquiries.
- Visitors get configured branding/layout on shared routes.
- Deployments can fall back to read-only repository defaults where documented.
The experience

The project brings the important parts of the workflow into one coherent experience. Its interface and behavior are shaped around the people using it, while the implementation stays focused on predictable results and honest feedback.
What to know
Every product has boundaries. These are the most important considerations for EduCanvas:
- Three institution types and multiple layouts must share behavior without content/theme leakage.
- MongoDB, Google OAuth/Drive, and Resend are optional/configured services.
- Public read-only defaults must remain usable when database-backed administration is absent.
These limitations are presented openly so visitors can understand where the project works well, what it depends on, and what may change in future versions.
Current status
Reusable project starter. The current release demonstrates the core value of the project and the main end-to-end experience.
My role was application architecture and full-stack engineering, covering content architecture, authentication, and deployment. The related case study explains the decisions and delivery process in greater depth for visitors who want the engineering story behind the product.
