Key Features

Advanced Membership and Access Control

Integrated membership system that controls access to premium resources and role-based content with login/logout redirection, subscription management, and user dashboards.

Secure File Management System

Controlled access to downloadable files (PDFs, worksheets) using file protection logic and possibly integrated with token-based or time-limited download URLs.

Video Integration

For better performance and UX, YouTube or Vimeo videos can be seamlessly embedded within lessons and topic pages.

Custom Admin Panel Enhancements

A customized WordPress dashboard for easy content creation and management for non-technical users (teachers/admins) and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or other plugins for easier data entry.

Challenge

The main challenge with Vector Maths was organizing educational content across multiple exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR) in a user-friendly and scalable manner. Furthermore, implementing a secure membership system to manage paid access to premium resources like PDFs and worksheets required careful planning. Another concern was making sure premium downloads and embedded video content loaded quickly, as well as preventing unauthorized sharing. To conclude, the developers needed to create a responsive design that worked seamlessly across all devices while remaining simple enough for students and teachers to use.

Our Solution

The developers solved these challenges by using custom post types and taxonomies in WordPress to categorize content by topics and exam boards, which made it easy to scale and update. Using a trusted plugin and custom logic for role-based access control, a secure membership system was integrated. Access to files was restricted and download links were protected. We optimized performance by lazy loading, compressing assets, and integrating CDNs. We created an intuitive navigation system, fast page loads, and clean, responsive user interface to ensure accessibility across all screen sizes.
