Lighter Side of Real Estate
Project Summary
Siam Computing built a custom social-media content and membership portal for Lighter Side of Real Estate, handling concept, implementation and launch. A five-person vendor team developed APIs and a permission system to enable members to share branded content across major social networks and continues to support updates. The platform expanded the client's revenue streams and the vendor provided strong project management and quality-control processes.
Key Challenges
- Create a membership platform to offer paid memberships allowing members to share content without Lighter Side branding
- Enable members to apply their own branding to shared content (sidebar and header) so posts appear authored by them
- Build the entire solution from the ground up and enable sharing across major social networks
Project Deliverables
- Custom membership content portal
- APIs for social posting across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Twitter
- Permission system to post on users' behalf
- Custom codebase and scalable templates (bypassing WordPress theme)
Project Solution
Siam Computing built a custom membership portal from concept through implementation and launch, staffed by a five-person team. They developed APIs that allow paywalled content to be shared to social networks and implemented a permission system enabling the platform to post on users' behalf. The vendor integrated posting mechanisms for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Twitter and created a custom codebase and scalable templates while leveraging about 10% of a basic WordPress theme for structure.
Project Outcome
- Platform launched with the vendor playing an integral role in delivery
- Budget targets were met and the vendor provided flexible, above-and-beyond support
- Revenue streams expanded across multiple channels due to the new platform
- Project management and team scaling improved, enabling rapid ramp-up when needed
