Projukti Team has been serving Bangladesh’s skill development segment since 2013; long before online learning became mainstream.
At a time when internet access was limited, they distributed their graphic design and video editing courses through DVDs — selling both physically and via Rokomari.com.
Their audience included university students and young professionals eager to upskill in tools like Illustrator, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and After Effects. Over time, they also expanded to support learners preparing for UK driving license exams, benefiting more than 30,000 students so far.
By 2020, they decided it was time to move fully online.
Like many creators, Hasan chose a WordPress-based LMS — drawn in by flexibility and a lifetime deal. It seemed like the perfect upgrade.
Until it wasn’t.
The Struggles of the Projukti Team Running Their Academy on WordPress LMS
At first, things worked fine. Updates rolled in regularly, features improved, and everything looked promising.
But beneath the surface, technical cracks started showing.
“Since it ran on WordPress, we had to rely on multiple plugins. One update would break another and suddenly our students couldn’t access their lessons.”
Constant Plugin Conflicts
Every time a plugin conflicted, Hasan’s team had to call their developer, spend hours debugging, and sometimes delay course launches. The experience became unpredictable — both for the creators and their students.
Fake Registrations & Lost Students
The team also battled hundreds of fake signups. Despite raising the issue in the platform’s user group, no official fix came.
They eventually had to pay for a third-party tool just to control spam.
And for genuine students, the registration process itself was a deal-breaker.
Requiring a unique username confused many non-technical learners. Those who couldn’t figure it out simply gave up.
“We lost a lot of customers because of the registration issue. Some we could help manually but many just walked away.”
Time Lost in Maintenance
Instead of focusing on content or marketing, Hasan found himself managing developers, coordinating with the content team, and troubleshooting WordPress quirks.
He even had to hire a dedicated person just to maintain the site.
“WordPress isn’t bad if you’re a developer or possess enough technical knowledge. But if you don’t, it slows you down. At some point, it felt like I was running a tech company, not an academy.”
No Reliable Mobile Experience
Perhaps the biggest drawback came from the lack of a proper mobile app.
The available plugin-based solution was unstable, and students today overwhelmingly prefer mobile learning.
“If you don’t give students a mobile-friendly option, most won’t register. Even if they do, they rarely complete the course.”
And to make things worse, piracy was rampant.
Students could download entire courses using the IDM extension, and sharing credentials was common. The old LMS had no strong protection in place.
Discovering Klasio: A Fresh Start
Hasan came across Klasio on Facebook. He saw a post by its CEO, Emran.
Curious, he explored the website and immediately noticed the built-in mobile app for students. That was the moment everything changed.
“The student app and simple registration were game-changers for my team. It finally felt like we could give our learners a seamless experience without us taking any technical headaches.”
What sealed the deal was Klasio’s clean, intuitive student interface. No complex navigation. No plugin management. Just a straightforward learning journey across both desktop and mobile. Ever since Hasan moved from a WordPress LMS to Klasio, his students have been very happy because of the mobile app. Course completion rate has increased from 30-40% to 75-80%.
