Project Summary

Holycode (formerly EtonDigital) was engaged to stabilize and extend a Symfony-based online learning platform for The EverLearner. They spent six months repairing legacy bugs left by a previous vendor, then developed new features — most notably an analytics dashboard — and improved site performance while maintaining structured, communicative two-week sprints.

Key Challenges

Stabilize and fix legacy bugs left by a previous developer
Secure a larger development firm with more resources to continue feature development

Project Deliverables

Bug fixes and platform stabilization
New feature development in Symfony
Analytics dashboard for students and teachers

Project Solution

Once engaged, Holycode removed legacy bugs in the Symfony-based platform over a six-month stabilization period. After stabilizing the system, the team transitioned to feature development in Symfony, including designing and building an analytics dashboard for students and teachers; they iterated on the client's concepts through a design phase to produce a working panel. The client worked with a project manager, full-stack, frontend and backend developers, designers, and a QA team throughout the engagement.

Project Outcome

Site performance improved dramatically after dashboard relaunch
Platform stability increased, reducing crashes and lag
Consistent on-time delivery and strong project management improved client satisfaction
