Skillsnova
SkillsNova was created in response to the rapid growth of the online learning market and the challenges users face in choosing relevant courses from numerous available options.
After thorough analysis, the decision was made to the Drupal CMS platform. Drupal was chosen because of its flexibility, scalability, and vast community support, making it ideal for managing large amounts of content and complex websites. This site would not only have forward looking features but also a refreshed look in keeping with the current market trends. SV Infotech was chosen to design and develop this site and also maintain , add new feature in this site.

Technical specifications
- Recombee : The Drupal Recombee modules provide integration with Recombee, a recommendation engine service. By using this module, users can easily implement personalized recommendation features on the website without extensive development work. So Recombee integration is main requirement of this website.
- Active Campaign: By using this module, Drupal users can easily connect their websites with ActiveCampaign to leverage its email marketing, customer relationship management (CRM), and automation capabilities. However some feature were not available in this module as per the project requirement . So we did some customer work as well.
- Node View Permissions: This website deal with sensitive or confidential content that should only be accessible to authorized users. The Node View Permissions module helps enforce content privacy by allowing administrators to restrict access to specific nodes.
- Clientside Validation: Clientside Validation module enhanced user experience and improve the user experience by validating form submissions on the client-side before sending data to the server. This means that users receive immediate feedback on form validation errors without having to wait for a server response. This is the main reason to choose this module.
- Country State Field : Drupal's core functionality includes basic form elements, but it doesn't provide built-in support for country and state selection fields. The Country State Field modules fill this gap by providing form elements specifically designed for selecting countries and states.

In this website there are some forms where we need country ,state, city dropdown feature , So we choose this.
