Project Summary

Codal built and continually develops a custom, Twilio-centered platform for a media company, handling UX, UI, backend coding (PHP) and platform management. The vendor also migrated parts of the platform to AWS for scalability and provides ongoing monitoring and development support.

Key Challenges

  • Build a highly custom platform centered on Twilio and integrate multiple APIs
  • Scale the platform to handle rapidly increasing traffic and revenue
  • Implement custom features where off-the-shelf products lacked required functionality

Project Deliverables

  • Custom Twilio-integrated platform (front-to-back)
  • UX/UI design and implementation
  • Backend platform coded in PHP
  • AWS migration and scalability upgrades
  • Ongoing monitoring, maintenance and operational checks

Project Solution

Codal served as the client’s primary developer, building a front-to-back platform that integrates Twilio APIs and additional services. They provided UX/UI design, coded the backend in PHP, managed operations and project workflows (JIRA/Slack), migrated infrastructure to AWS for scalability, and supply ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and iterative upgrades with flexible developer resourcing.

Project Outcome

  • Traffic grew from ~500 clicks/day to about 10,000 clicks/day
  • Revenue increased from $200–$500/day to ~$6,000–$10,000/day
  • Platform scaled to handle increased volume without downtime and is projected to process close to $3M in the year referenced
  • Team staffing grew from a part-time developer to 3–5 full-time developers plus PM coverage

Quality of Deliverables

The Media Company started with around 500 clicks a day, processing $200-$500 a day in revenue. Now they’re doing more than 10 times the traffic with around 10,000 clicks a day and $6,000–$10,000 per day in revenue. Codal helped scale from that small, custom website to now.
