Client's Request

The client reached out to us to evaluate and improve the technical foundation of their website, ensuring stability, scalability, and a smooth user experience.

Here’s what needed to be done:

  • Technical audit: Assess the current setup and codebase to identify potential bottlenecks or issues
  • Image storage: Move all design assets to AWS S3 for better performance and manageability
  • Environment setup: Configure git version control and staging environment for future development
  • Payment integration: Connect the platform to Stripe for secure subscription handling
  • Performance tuning: Analyze the speed and usability of existing pages and apply necessary optimizations
  • Hosting setup: Deploy the platform infrastructure using AWS services

Here’s What We Did

We began with a deep technical audit to uncover weaknesses in performance and infrastructure. From there, the focus shifted to improving speed, reliability, and ease of future development.

  • Infrastructure optimization: Identified bottlenecks through a full code and setup review.
  • Cloud asset migration: Moved all design files to AWS S3, improving speed and asset management.
  • Version control & staging: Set up Git and a dedicated staging environment to support safe and continuous development.
  • Secure subscription payments: Integrated Stripe to handle recurring billing with confidence.
  • Cloud hosting setup: Deployed the platform to AWS, ensuring a scalable and stable environment.
  • Performance improvements: Applied front-end and back-end optimizations for faster page load and better usability.

Here’s the Result

The updated platform is faster, more secure, and ready for long-term scaling. Our technical adjustments significantly reduced loading times and created a more stable environment for both users and administrators. Thanks to a proper dev workflow setup and robust cloud infrastructure, future updates are now easier to implement. This project reflects our expertise in backend optimization, cloud deployment, and performance tuning for growing e-commerce platforms.
