The Skills

Our client aimed to expand their product with a number of features including:

• intelligent automation for administrators and customers
• dashboard creation with custom features
• сlient-side creation with modern tech stack and custom functionality
• extensive payment integration
• mobile app creation 
• manual website and mobile app testing

When we first started working with the client, they already had an integrated payment system, Stripe. The Sloboda Studio team extended the Stripe payment feature on the Skills website to make it possible to do payment transactions from different countries.

We also implemented various payment mechanisms that enable the Skills to:

• create the logic for the gift coupons and promo codes usage
• generate discount computing system
• optimize the payment process using a link that activates the discount only to new users

There was a difficulty with the query-display effect because some vital information (discounts, promo codes, etc) was stored in Stripe. If the discount needed to be deleted, there was no instant integration with the system, but a request for a Stripe came. We optimized this system to get an instant response.

Our devs created an admin dashboard for managing the internal company’s process. We used Active Admin, a Ruby on Rails plugin, that generates administration-style interfaces.

We made it possible for admins to: 

• Add users
• Assign subscriptions
• Create and deactivate promo codes
• Manage content displayed on the website and mobile app
• Set the video display order
• Filter and search.

Our experts built a dashboard with analytical functionality that automatically provides statistics in the dashboard showing:

• User visits
• Subscription usage
• Registration of new clients, etc. 

The Active Admin panel actively interacts with the site and the database, giving access for administrators to all the necessary information.

Our team helped with the design and layout of the main page, existing and new course pages.

We also assisted with page markup using Slider for courses that depend on the screen size on various devices. Our team made theme customization that was already purchased. 

Our client used the Brightcove service to run the video, but we enriched it with a custom feature to start playback from the last viewing moment.

Our mobile development team implemented a mobile application starting from the full-cycle development to publication in stores. The first challenge was to update Brightcove SDK. It was crucial to renovate the native part and the bridge for iOS and Android using Swift and Java.
