Project Summary

CodeIT took over development for Red Apple Reading after two prior providers failed, delivering a website, iOS app, and backend/database management using HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. The client reports that the products function consistently across devices and praises CodeIT’s communication and project management. The engagement began in January 2012 and is ongoing; the client noted Android development was discontinued and requires another vendor for that platform.

Key Challenges

  • Replace previous low-quality and poorly time-managed development teams
  • Build a website and manage backend user database and sales statistics
  • Develop the user interface and program to handle videos and games

Project Deliverables

  • Website built in HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript
  • iOS mobile application
  • Android development (partial)
  • Backend user database and sales statistics system
  • Deployment pipeline using a temporary QA server and Git-based production deployment

Project Solution

CodeIT reviewed several pages of client specs, provided feedback, and implemented the website using HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. They developed an iOS app using Apple tools and performed some Android development before discontinuing that work. The team uses a project manager who assigns tasks to developers, deploys code to a temporary server for client QA, and moves approved releases to the live server via a Git-based workflow.

Project Outcome

  • Hundreds of testimonials from schools, teachers, and parents
  • Products function consistently across apps, PCs, and Macs
  • Strong project management and communication using Basecamp, email, and Skype
  • High customer satisfaction and trust in the vendor
