Project Solution

Codica designed and built the client's investment platform from scratch using Ruby on Rails. They converted the desktop site to a responsive design for mobile browsers, set up 8–9 domains with plans for additional language versions, created a paid/paywall section to serve users who block ads, selected and optimized the hosting provider to reduce server costs, and are building a payment section while making ongoing edits to advertising banners. They continue to provide ongoing development and maintenance.

Project Outcome

Dynamic and flexible infrastructure that provides a competitive advantage over competitors.
High-quality code and cost-effective delivery with timelines generally met.
Improved project management and transparent communication via Trello and Slack.
