Project Summary

Bytes Technolab developed a PHP-based web platform and a MySQL database (20,000 entries) to replace a desktop chord-chart program used by churches. The vendor built user accounts, group-based sharing, content-blocking features and later assisted with migrating the site to AWS, providing responsive fixes and ongoing support. The work preserved customers by enabling subscriptions and continued access on newer platforms.

Key Challenges

Migrate a desktop chord-chart program to an online web-based platform
Support access controls to separate customer data while enabling group-based sharing
Provide mechanisms to block preliminary songs from wider access

Project Deliverables

MySQL database with 20,000 entries
Web-based music/chord platform
User account system with group-based sharing
Content blocking controls for preliminary songs
AWS migration support and post-migration fixes

Project Solution

Bytes Technolab converted the client's chord-chart program into a PHP web application backed by a MySQL database containing 20,000 entries. They implemented user accounts with password protection, group-based sharing (bands), and content-blocking controls for preliminary songs. Later, they assisted with migrating the platform to AWS and resolved issues that arose after the port.

Project Outcome

Customers were retained by migrating to the web and converted to annual subscription revenue
The system (20,000-entry MySQL database) remained in use long-term
Vendor provided high responsiveness and ongoing support, quickly fixing post-migration issues
