Summary

We upgraded the Moodle platform and Edumy theme for TAOND, a nail design academy in Canada, fixing a string of functionality issues left behind by a previous developer, including a broken course preview feature.

Navigation was refined, payments were moved onto a secure gateway, and registration was hardened. The result is a learning platform built around how nail design students actually progress through a course.

Overview

TAOND, "The Art of Nail Design," is a Canada-based academy teaching nail design through flexible, self-paced programs. As their catalog grew, their existing Moodle setup struggled to keep up — broken course previews, confusing navigation, and security gaps that needed fixing before the platform could scale.

The client saw that problem and wanted something better for their customers. An app where finding a salon, checking what is available, picking a time, and confirming a booking all happened in a few taps rather than a few phone calls.We stepped in to fix what wasn't working, strengthen what needed protecting, and clean up what a previous developer had left unfinished.

About TAOND

TAOND is a nail design academy offering flexible, self-paced programs and tailored lessons for students learning nail design from anywhere. Their step-by-step approach lets students move through coursework at their own speed, supported by structured guidance throughout.

The academy had already built a loyal base of students. What they needed was a platform that matched their instruction quality — working course previews, secure payments, and a learning experience that stayed out of the way.

Project Goals

Going into the project, the priorities were clear:

Fix the broken course preview feature affecting student enrollment
Resolve leftover issues from a previous development team
Improve navigation across the Edumy theme
Strengthen payment security for course purchases
Tighten registration to reduce security risk
Ensure every feature was tested and working before handoff
Keep a single point of contact throughout the project

The Challenge

The Moodle platform had old, unresolved issues, some left from previous development work, and they were affecting how nail design students used the academy.

A few specific things needed sorting before anything else could move forward:

Fixing the course preview feature so prospective students could see content before enrolling
Untangling functionality issues left behind by a previous developer
Improving navigation within the Edumy theme
Setting up a secure, reliable payment gateway for course purchases
Strengthening the registration process against security risks
Testing every fix thoroughly before considering the project complete

Our Approach & Solution

TAOND needed a partner willing to take ownership of problems they didn't create, fix them without complaint, and still deliver the specific, sometimes unconventional requests the academy had in mind.

Moodle Platform Upgrade

Upgraded the core Moodle platform for better performance and stability.

Impact: A more reliable foundation for daily learning activity and future growth.

Overall Collaboration and Experience

TAOND came in with specific, often unconventional requests that went beyond typical Moodle fixes, plus a backlog of issues left by a previous developer. That combination made the project genuinely demanding.

We kept a single customer advocate as the consistent point of contact throughout, addressing questions promptly and working through each request without pushing back or treating any task as out of scope. By the time the project wrapped, TAOND had a platform that worked the way they'd originally envisioned it for their nail design students.
