Student Oriented Career Exploration Platform

Build a Career Explorer Web App for Students

looking to build a simple, user-friendly web app for school and college students to explore different career options. The app should help students learn about careers in a clear, structured and engaging way. It should not be a complicated psychometric test or a full AI career-matching platform at this stage. I want to begin with a practical MVP that can be expanded later.

Core Features Required:

Career Library / Career Cards
Each career should have a structured page or card with sections such as:
What the career is about
What the work actually involves
Subjects that help
Courses after Class 12
Entrance exams, if relevant
Skills required
Pros and cons
Good fit for students who…
Things to think about before choosing this career
Related careers

Search and Filter Functionality
Students should be able to search for careers and possibly filter by broad areas such as:
Business & Management
Law & Policy
Psychology & Social Sciences
Design & Communication
Finance & Economics
Science & Healthcare
Technology & Data
Humanities & Liberal Arts
Student Question Section
Students should be able to submit career-related questions such as:
“Can I study psychology without science?”
“What is the difference between economics and finance?”
“What careers are possible after humanities?”

These questions should come to me through an admin panel or email notification, and I should be able to respond to them.

Admin Panel / Content Management
I need an easy way to add, edit and delete career pages/cards myself without coding.
Saved Careers / Shortlist Feature
Students should be able to save careers they are interested in exploring further.
Basic Student Login
A simple login system for students would be useful. Parent access can be added later if needed.
Clean, Mobile-Friendly Design
The app should work well on both desktop and mobile. The design should be clean, modern, and easy for teenagers and parents to use.

Optional Feature:
I am open to adding an AI-style Q&A assistant later, but only if it can be safely guided by the career content I provide. For the first version, I am more interested in a reliable, structured career library and question system.

Important Requirements:
Simple and easy to use
Scalable for adding more careers later
Secure handling of student data
Basic privacy-conscious design, as the users may include minors
Easy admin interface for non-technical use
Clear documentation or handover instructions

Technology:
I am open to suggestions. This can be built using no-code/low-code tools such as Bubble, Softr, Glide, Webflow + Airtable, or as a custom web app, depending on what is practical and cost-effective.

What I Need from the Freelancer:
Please include:

Examples of similar web apps, dashboards, directories, learning platforms, or content portals you have built
Your recommended technology stack
Estimated timeline for an MVP
Estimated cost
What will be included in the first version
Whether I will be able to update the career content myself

Ideal Freelancer:
Someone who can understand the education/career counselling use case, suggest a practical MVP, and build a clean, simple, expandable product rather than an overly complicated app.
