Ritchie Academy Portal Build On Softr​ ​ ​ ​ Watch video here ​ ​ I’m sharing a short video walkthrough of one of my recent projects to give you a clear picture of how I build and structure web applications. This project is called Ritchie Academy. It’s important to note that Ritchie Academy is a dummy brand, and all the data used on the platform is completely fictitious. I created this specifically for portfolio and demonstration purposes, as most of my real clients do not allow their data, systems, or internal processes to be shared publicly. About the Project Ritchie Academy is designed as an online learning platform where people can learn practical digital skills they need to work with clients, offer services, and grow professionally online. The platform structure reflects how a real-world course or membership-based website would function. How the Platform Was Built For this build, I handled the full setup end to end: Frontend: Built with Softr for a clean, responsive user experience Backend: Airtable is used as the database, where: All form submissions are stored User and course data are managed The frontend pulls its content dynamically Design: Course thumbnails and visuals were created using Canva Payments: Integrated with Paystack This setup can also be connected to Stripe, Wise, or other payment platforms, depending on what a client needs All interactions on the website flow into Airtable, which acts as the central source of truth for both the frontend content and user data. Why I’m Sharing This Although the brand and data are not real, the logic, integrations, and structure are exactly how I build for real clients. This project shows how I approach: System setup and database design No-code tool integration Building scalable, client-ready platforms I’ve attached the video walkthrough so you can see how everything works in practice. If you’d like me to explain any part of the build in more detail or discuss how this could be adapted for your own project, I’d be happy to do that. Thank you for taking the time to review this.
