Project Summary
Q Software designed, built and continues to support a WordPress e-commerce site for a publishing organization, including custom plugins and UI work. They also set up a CMS and migrated hosting to Amazon Web Services. Internal feedback praises the vendor's quality, responsiveness and ability to deliver on time despite client-side issues. The engagement began in September 2018 and remains ongoing.
Key Challenges
- Launch a new e-commerce website within a 6–8-week timeframe.
- Require external resources to design, build, and host the site quickly.
Project Deliverables
- WordPress website
- User interface and design
- Custom WordPress plugins
- Content management system
- Hosting on Amazon Web Services
- Ongoing support and hosting
Project Solution
Q Software served as the architect for the entire site: they handled site design, built the WordPress site, created the user interface, and developed custom plugins to scale required features. They set up a content management system and moved hosting to Amazon Web Services when the client could not. The vendor provided the design and development team (one designer and 6–7 developers) and supported the project management role at 50% time, then continued to support and host the site as an ongoing engagement.
Project Outcome
- The vendor delivered a high-quality, error-free website.
- The initial launch was delivered on time (December 2018) despite significant challenges.
- Internal stakeholders were pleased with the site and the vendor's responsiveness.
- Business metrics did not improve substantially due to a weak business case (not attributed to the vendor).
