Us’ Online Coupon Website Turned Into A Renowned Portal With Futuristic Benefits
About
The client is the US’ biggest online coupon platform which offers a variety of coupon codes on internet retail stores and printable coupons at physical stores. Started as a small-medium between consumers and the providers before 12 years, now the online platform has become the giant stage with 158,000+ offers and 50,000+ stores till date. To handle the heavy flow of offers and the connected stores and to improve the website performance on a higher scale, the client approached Brainvire for the website customization and enhancement.
Project Highlights
The website was originally developed in CodeIgniter and in order to customize the website for the improved performance, Brainvire team of developers worked on a lot of bugs which were preventing the smoother flow. Plus, the website was upgraded with the robust features to integrate with higher IT devices.
The Challenges
- Complex Existing CodeThe CodeIgniter framework based existing module was developed by another software firm. To make amendments to the existing code was quite a complex task. The existing code was not properly documented. It was taking hours and hours to implement even the smallest logic.
- Larger DatabaseThe website structure included the larger database filled with user details, offer details, store details and much more. To fetch the results from the larger database was the complex task to do because one of the tables was having 12 GB+ storage.
- Redesigning of web pagesSince the inception of the portal, the policies were not altered that much. This time, the client wanted every page to be redesigned in order to incorporate new policies and strategies. Plus the client needed the website design that attracts its users to an extreme extent.
- Writer AccountsThe client asked to craft a module in terms of writer accounts. This module allows the administrator to create writer accounts who can modify the user-posted content to precise and language rich offers.
