Escola IDEC

The client

IDEC serves city governments with courses on public procurement, budget management, leadership, transparency and other municipal administration topics. Its online courses live on an external learning platform the institute already used. What it lacked was its own showcase to explain the formats, list courses with prices and lead public managers toward hiring. Here the buyer is the city government, and the decision goes through a proposal and a conversation.

The challenge

The audience is municipal managers and staff, who decide based on clarity, not visual effects. The course schedule changes during the year, and the team could not depend on someone editing code for every new class. Inquiries from interested city governments had to be stored in one place. And the page had to load fast and work well on phones, without a heavy system behind it.

What was built

The page is static, in plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, organized into sections: areas of work, formats, featured courses linking to the learning platform, schedule, FAQ and contact. The schedule is loaded from a small PHP endpoint and, if that fails, the version written into the HTML stays in place. An admin screen lets the team add, edit and remove schedule entries with photo, period and price. The contact form stores every request, and a second screen lists the inquiries received.

What the system does

• Sections on areas of work and on online, in person and blended formats, written for public managers.
• Featured courses with price and a direct link to each course page on the learning platform.
• Yearly course schedule loaded dynamically, with a static fallback version.
• Admin screen to add, edit and remove schedule entries, with photo upload.
• Validated contact form that stores every request for the team to review.
• FAQ accordion and a persistent WhatsApp button.
