Introduction

The "regal-students" project aims to develop a modern, conversion-focused web application for Aspire Square Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad. This platform will serve as an IELTS Pre-Screening Assessment Platform for study abroad aspirants, helping them assess their English proficiency before enrolling in IELTS coaching programs.

System Overview

The regal-students platform is designed to assist students in evaluating their readiness for IELTS preparation through a free pre-screening test. The system will capture leads, provide AI-powered score reporting, and offer course recommendations based on the user's performance. The platform will be built using a full-stack approach with React for the frontend, Node.js for the backend, and PostgreSQL for the database.

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of the regal-students platform will feature an interactive 3D globe using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. Users can rotate and zoom into different continents, each representing a study abroad destination. Hovering over a continent will display key statistics about IELTS success rates in that region. Clicking on a continent will initiate the pre-screening test, creating an engaging and educational experience that highlights the global reach of Aspire Square's services.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will employ a "parallax" interaction model, with layered depth effects as users scroll. The 3D globe will serve as the central interactive element, with smooth transitions and animations triggered by user interactions. Internal pages, such as the dashboard and admin panel, will use a "static" model for clarity and ease of use.
