Business Goal
Our primary goal was to transform the outdated WordPress-based Child Support Calculator into a modern, efficient system with a Python backend and React JS frontend. This redevelopment aimed to streamline child support estimation through intuitive worksheets while enhancing functionality with version management, sharing, and organizational tools. By improving data management, responsiveness, and cross-browser compatibility, we created a reliable, collaborative, and scalable solution that offers an exceptional user experience for parents, legal professionals, and courts.

Key Challenges and Solutions
Data Migration Complexity
Optimized Schema and Incremental Migration Strategy
We began with a comprehensive schema analysis to design an efficient, optimized structure. Detailed data transformation scripts and validation procedures were developed to ensure accurate mapping from the old schema to the new one. We implemented incremental migration to minimize risks, first testing a small data subset before moving forward with the entire dataset. Additionally, we applied indexing and query optimization techniques, enhancing data retrieval and processing speed for accurate and efficient calculations.
Real-Time Updates
Dynamic Data Binding for Real-Time Calculations
React’s state management enabled seamless dynamic data binding, ensuring that calculation results updated instantly as users changed inputs. Asynchronous data fetching, using Axios or Fetch API, allowed the front end to process updates without interrupting interactions. We applied debouncing to limit calls during rapid data entry to maintain efficiency. Code-splitting, lazy loading, and memoization techniques further optimized performance, ensuring a responsive user experience.
User Interface Simplicity
Role-Based Sharing with Permissions Control
We implemented role-based access control for secure worksheet sharing, allowing only authorized users to view or edit. An intuitive sharing system was created, enabling users to invite others, assign roles, and manage permissions. This setup allowed smooth worksheet sharing, collaboration, and ownership transfer if members were removed while securing sensitive data through robust access management protocols.
Role-Based Sharing
Mobile-First Responsive Design for Device Consistency
We used a mobile-first design strategy, applying CSS media queries and responsive frameworks like Bootstrap to optimize device layouts. This ensured that the application adapted to various screen sizes, particularly to touch responsiveness and usability. Through extensive cross-device testing, we delivered a consistent experience effortlessly accommodating both desktop and mobile users.
Our Approach
By implementing these methods, we created a child-support estimation platform that delivers an intuitive, efficient, and accessible user experience.
