Abstract:

In this work, we propose the idea of a web builder specializing in creating web pages in an academic environment. We are confronting the issue of inefficient educational content or subject pages, primarily in universities. The main issue is low update frequency or lousy design in mentioned pages resulting in unusable pages with content hard to find and a complex update/maintenance process.

This project aims to alleviate the complexity of finding desired information by students. Our solution offers standardized templates for academic subjects, where one can effortlessly look up topic details.

This paper presents our approach to developing a web builder focused on the needs of the educators, but it also describes other parts of the applications. With the help of an online web builder, the user can create web pages with educational content. For deployment simplicity, the exported website is wrapped in a docker image. They are making the deployment process itself straightforward and fast. The resulting project websites were adapted for an educational environment. The majority of currently created pages are subject page oriented. More precisely, the functionality of the generated pages delivers information efficiently, and with fast updates, it is easily maintained. We introduce a unique method for exporting web pages as a docker image that the user can deploy. Furthermore, for consistency, the exported pages are primarily static editing can be done in the builder webpage itself. Redeployment takes no time at all with as few commands as possible.

In future work, we explore the potential improvements of our tool, such as the addition of components or usage of a content delivery network, that would make the web builder more robust. Additionally, the finetuning of a daemon would automate the deployment of new versions.
