Project Summary

Smart Tek SaS rebuilt a user-generated content website from the ground up using PHP for the backend and React for the frontend, then deployed it to dedicated servers that the vendor manages. The platform was delivered within the initial 6–8 month implementation window and receives ongoing updates and network optimization from the vendor. The engagement improved site stability and traffic-handling capacity, and the client praises the team's problem-solving, communication and deadline performance.

Key Challenges

  • Replace a poorly built site that frequently crashed and froze
  • Design and develop a scalable platform to handle heavy traffic
  • Achieve high performance and stability under peak loads

Project Deliverables

Project Solution

The vendor rebuilt the client’s site from scratch after researching the best approach and technologies, delivering the initial implementation within 6–8 months.
