The Golden Minds Colleges official website serves as the institution's primary online presence, providing students, staff, and the public with access to course information, announcements, and academic resources.
The site was originally built internally by the school using raw HTML, CSS, and JavaScript under the domain goldenmindsbulacan.com — functional but unstructured and difficult to maintain.
My Contribution
I solely migrated the institution's legacy website to a modern Laravel and Vue.js stack, including a full domain migration to goldenminds.edu.ph. Key work included:
- Rebuilt the frontend using Vue.js for reactive, dynamic content updates without full page reloads.
- Migrated the backend to Laravel with structured API endpoints, content management, and authentication.
- Handled the full domain migration from goldenmindsbulacan.com to goldenminds.edu.ph.
- Optimized page load times by 25% through lazy loading and frontend performance improvements.
- Reduced admin inquiries by 35% by centralizing course details, announcements, and contact information.
Impact
- Reduced admin inquiries by 35% by centralizing information online.
- Page load times improved by 25% through optimization techniques.
- Achieved 4,000+ page views within six months of the migrated launch.
Architecture
- Backend: Laravel for API endpoints, content management, and authentication.
- Frontend: Vue.js for reactive components paired with Bootstrap for styling.
- Database: MySQL with normalized tables for scalable data storage.
