Project Summary

BigStep Technologies was hired to lead the design and development of a social media platform, reworking an open-source starter package into a near-duplicate of a major social media firm while adding features from another. The team used PHP, JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS and coordinated work through a project lead, daily updates and action-item lists. The client praises their responsiveness, delegation and professionalism, though some detail follow-through required remediation.

Key Challenges

Needed to modify an existing web-based platform skeleton to match Big Tech social media performance and features.
Required a firm capable of accomplishing large revisions at a reasonable price.

Project Deliverables

Re-designed and developed a fully functional social media platform
Modified the open-source platform skeleton

Project Solution

Using an existing open-source social media platform skeleton, BigStep re-designed and developed a fully functional platform that closely duplicated a Big Tech social media site while adding specific features from another major platform. The vendor assembled a core team led by a project lead and supported by a company manager and programmers, and they managed the work with action-item lists and frequent communication via email, chat, Skype and Microsoft Teams.

Project Outcome

The client believes the product is ready for public release, though formal metrics are pending.
Project management maintained focus through action-item lists and consistent communication.
