Case Description:
For a Canadian family-owned company established since 1889, we faced the challenge of providing a user-friendly content creation interface for their brand managers. This challenge demanded designing landing pages for each of the diverse brands within the company, without the need for coding skills.
Project Objectives:
- Facilitate content creation for brand managers without coding experience.
- Design a solution allowing for the creation of landing pages for diverse brands within the company.
- Streamline the content creation process to improve operational efficiency.
Proposed Solution:
DaCodes designed a custom content builder using PHP, Gutenberg, and Bootstrap. This tailored builder was meticulously adapted to meet the specific requirements of the extensive brand portfolio. Additionally, the Scrum methodology was implemented for agile and efficient development as part of our Talent Augmentation approach.
Implementation Process:
- Requirements Analysis and Content Builder Design: During this initial phase, we worked closely with the Dare Foods team to thoroughly understand their needs and specific requirements. Detailed planning meetings were held, and prototypes were created to define the functionality and user interface of the custom content builder.
- Development and Integration of the Custom Solution: With clear requirements in mind, our development team set out to build the content builder using the selected technologies. Multiple iterations and tests were conducted to ensure that the solution was robust, scalable, and user-friendly.
- Testing and Adjustments for Optimal Functionality: Once development was complete, extensive quality testing was conducted to identify and correct any potential errors or failures. Additional feedback was sought from the Dare Foods team to ensure that the solution met their final expectations and requirements.
- Implementation of the Builder in the Company's Production Environment: Finally, the custom content builder was implemented in Dare Foods' production environment. Additional training was provided to the brand management team to familiarize them with the new tool, and ongoing support was provided to ensure a smooth transition.
Lessons Learned:
- The importance of tailoring the solution to the client's specific needs.
- The Scrum methodology facilitates iterative development and timely delivery of solutions.
Next Steps:
- Explore the possibility of implementing similar solutions in other areas of the company.
- Continue collaborating with DaCodes for future custom software development projects.
