How we build

How we build successful
EdTech platforms.

From the start of the journey we ensure transparency. Plan, roadmap, weekly demos. You're in the room at every stage.

Pillar 01

Product development consultation

Transparency from day one. We discuss the plan of action and build a precise app deployment roadmap. At each stage of development, we encourage you to participate in discussions.

Pillar 02

User-oriented design

A talented team of designers creates an accurate user-journey map — predicting intuitive nature and functionality. User-friendly interfaces built on extensive research.

Pillar 03

Agile development

A decade of experience in Web, iOS and Android development. Customised bespoke solutions, delivered in a collaborative environment — your boldest ideas, realised.

Process

An accessible EdTech app,
in six steps.

Same six-stage process we run on every engagement — adapted to logistics constraints (carrier integrations, regulatory mode, fleet telemetry).

Step 01

User research

1 – 2 weeks

Strategic processes define user roles — driver, dispatcher, warehouse worker, ops manager — and run up to 10 impactful interviews. Insights become a guaranteed roadmap.

Field interviews Personas Roadmap
Step 02

Product scope

1 – 2 weeks

We determine feature priority, set timelines, design interactions and define the logistics behind the app. Basic prototype first — adding functionality later.

User stories Carrier APIs Compliance
Step 03

Design

2 – 3 weeks

Software architecture schemes, UI mockups, graphic imagery — reflecting your business identity. Interactive prototype for testing and presentation.

Figma Driver UX Dashboards
Step 04

Development

10 – 20 weeks

Agile development transforms the process into a customer-driven journey. Iterative approach, collaborative mindset, change embraced seamlessly.

CI/CD Trunk-based Feature flags
Step 05

Testing

2 – 3 weeks

From feature-rich development to rigorous staging. Each step a precision move toward a seamless user experience. QA as continuous guardians.

Step 06

Deployment

1 week

Planning, version control, testing, cutting-edge strategies like canary releases. Swift, trouble-free installations with continuous monitoring.

Client reviews

What clients
say.

Pulled from independently-verified Clutch reviews — 60+ of them, 4.9 average.

SCORM ingestion finally works the way the procurement team thought it would. That alone was worth the project.

Exam-prep accuracy improved 11 percentage points after they shipped the adaptive item-bank engine.

Their offline-mode is the best I've ever seen — students using it on intermittent classroom Wi-Fi don't notice.

Frequently asked

The honest
questions.

Why choose Magora for hiring EdTech developers?
Magora is a London-based custom software house in business since 2010. We field senior EdTech developers who own the work from the first commit, ship in tight feedback loops with weekly demos and hand over code your team can maintain — no offshore rotation, no juniors in disguise.
How long does it take to build an EdTech platform?
It depends on scope, but our typical engagement runs 8–24 weeks from kickoff to production. A discovery sprint at the start (2–4 weeks) gives a fixed timeline you can actually defend to a board, instead of a ten-page Gantt that slips by week three.
What does an EdTech platform cost?
There's no fixed price — it depends on scope, so we start every engagement with a free working prototype and written analysis from a senior Product Owner, no commitment. Our 2026 pricing (GBP): Product Discovery from £3,000, a Startup MVP from £10,000, and a full production web or mobile project from £30,000. AI, bespoke enterprise software and CRM platforms are scoped after Discovery. Typical London day rates run £30–£90/hour, and we transfer full ownership of source code, designs and IP to you on payment.
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. We stay on as the maintenance team — security patches, OS / framework upgrades, third-party deprecations, on-going feature work. Most clients keep us on a part-time SLA after launch; some bring the code in-house once their team is ready.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do. Magora's IP terms transfer ownership of bespoke work to the client on payment — the repository is licensed to you from the first commit, full stop. We use OSS dependencies but contribute back rather than baking proprietary forks into your codebase.
