In this case study, we explore the development of a fully custom-built e-commerce website for our client, BTribe Business Coaching. Our client sought a comprehensive digital solution to support their online business coaching product, requiring a multifaceted approach encompassing brand development, a front-end public website, a backend administration platform, a fully custom learning management system (LMS), a suite of integrations, and a broad range of specific functionalities tailored to their needs.
Project Challenges
- Complex Custom Development: The client wanted a website that was much more than just a digital storefront. They required a fully integrated platform. This included a brand-new website front end, specific sales pages with effective funnels, a 52-week automated e-learning course, and an intricate Learning Management System (LMS).
- E-commerce Integration: Developing an e-commerce platform that seamlessly integrates with the LMS and other components of the website was essential for smooth user experiences and transactions.
- Backend Administration Platform: A bespoke backend system with custom user profiles and permissions was required for efficient management of the site and its users.
- Reporting and Analytics: The client wanted a comprehensive dashboard for reporting and analytics to monitor business performance and user engagement.
- API Integrations: Integrating various third-party services and APIs for extended functionality while ensuring system stability and security.
- Secure, scalable Hosting: The client required a secure and scalable hosting solution that would cater for rapid business growth, as well as periodic traffic spikes during promotions.
