  1. A visible application route.

    The programme call to action sits beside the organisation’s introduction. Academy Portal and Apply Now provide separate entry points in the desktop navigation.

  2. The same action, a different composition.

    The retained mobile screen stacks the application and history actions beneath the introduction, with navigation behind the menu control.

The problem.

A South African youth-development organisation needed a clearer public route from programme discovery to application entry points.

The public website brings programme information, Academy Portal access and Apply Now routes together. The portfolio shows public screens; applicant records, staff tools and payment information remain private.

My contribution.

Delivered the web experience around programme discovery, visible portal access and applicant entry pathways.

  • Programme discovery content with visible Academy Portal and Apply Now entry points
  • Public organisational information and contact pathways for prospective applicants
  • Responsive desktop and mobile presentation backed by approved public screenshots

The implementation.

Built with Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, Paystack, Tailwind CSS and Framer Motion.

  • Built the public programme and application-entry surfaces around clear user journeys
  • Integrated Paystack into the platform’s payment workflow
  • Kept private portal, applicant, staff and payment information outside the portfolio evidence

What was delivered.

  • Delivered public programme and application-entry experiences using Next.js and TypeScript
  • Used Paystack as the confirmed payment provider for the platform workflow
  • Maintained a live product that recruiters can review through its public programme and portal routes

What I took forward.

  • Real organisation work requires treating content, user journeys and operational edge cases as part of the software
  • Public portfolio proof should show enough implementation thinking to be credible without exposing private user or payment data
