Project Summary

Serfe developed and continues to maintain the backend of a web-based countdown application built with CodeIgniter, providing ongoing feature development, testing, and implementation. The team emphasizes rigorous QA and prompt communication, resulting in a smoother-running app and fewer client-reported errors. The engagement began in January 2015 and remains ongoing.

Key Challenges

  • The site required backend development on a CodeIgniter-based platform.
  • The application needed logic to calculate event dates and populate date fields for user-specific countdowns.
  • The product required a builder workflow allowing users to create printable countdowns and place orders.

Project Deliverables

  • Backend for a web-based countdown application (CodeIgniter)
  • Ongoing feature enhancements and functionality additions
  • Testing and QA for new features and releases
  • Ongoing maintenance and implementation of new functionalities

Project Solution

Serfe provided multi-year backend development and maintenance for the CodeIgniter-based countdown site, continuously adding features, improving functionality, and performing testing. They rotated two developers on the account depending on workload, handled QA to ensure correctness before release, and managed tasks via a tracking system while coordinating primarily via email.

Project Outcome

  • The app functions more smoothly, with fewer client-reported submission errors.
  • Faster response times and accurate estimates led to high client satisfaction.
  • Minimal post-release issues due to thorough QA and meticulous development.
