Project Summary
A health and sustainability startup hired Civitta (formerly Mediapark) to audit and remediate a problematic Laravel backend, implement new functionality, and optimize Digital Ocean VM infrastructure. The vendor completed the audit quickly, implemented required code changes, produced Figma prototypes that were developed, and improved stability; customer-reported issues dropped dramatically and new features were delivered in 2–3 weeks. Communication was handled via Slack, Google Meet, and Jira.
Key Challenges
- Backend code was a concept-level implementation with many problems
- Audit existing Laravel code and provide solutions for discovered problems
- Implement new business-driven functionalities quickly
Project Deliverables

Project Solution

The engagement included a cross-functional team (backend, frontend, WordPress, QA, and UX/UI) and used Slack, Google Meet, and Jira for communication and tracking.
