Project Summary

Codup provided web development and custom LMS work for a UK-based legal publishing house, adapting the LearnDash plugin on WordPress to digitize a long-running magazine quiz. The engagement began as a one-off project and expanded into a retainer arrangement for bug fixes, feature enhancements, site optimization, search improvements and productivity tools for content authors. The client reports faster project delivery, improved project-management practices, high-quality work, rapid turnaround and flexibility from Codup.

Key Challenges

  • Digitize long-running print quiz system so users can take quizzes online.
  • Replicate and adapt a legacy quiz workflow to a WordPress-based LMS.
  • Improve search functionality across a large WordPress multisite network.
  • Increase authoring productivity for internal content creators.
  • Optimize and enhance site-wide performance and UI.

Project Deliverables

  • Bespoke quiz system for website
  • Custom LMS built by adapting the LearnDash WordPress plugin
  • Certificate design for the LMS
  • Productivity tools for internal content authors
  • Search functionality improvements
  • General site optimization and UI design improvements

Project Solution

Codup provided web development services, initially building a bespoke quiz system and a custom LMS by adapting the LearnDash plugin on a WordPress site; the work included certificate design and development using PHP and JavaScript. After the initial engagement they moved to a retainer model handling bug fixes and minor feature enhancements and supported larger ongoing efforts such as site-wide optimization across a WordPress multisite network, UI improvements, search functionality upgrades, and productivity tools for internal content authors. The client manages communications via a commercial point of contact and weekly meetings, with most delivery performed by a primary developer and, for isolated projects, a small dedicated team including a project manager and QA resource.

Project Outcome

  • Projects delivered faster and more effectively, reducing internal pressure to meet deadlines.
  • Vendor embedded with the internal team and improved project-management organization.
  • High-quality work with flexible staffing and rapid turnaround.
  • Cost-effective solution compared to UK-based agencies.
  • Vendor accommodated issues by refunding or deploying extra resources when needed.
