A client recently hired us to complete a unique a project requiring a great deal of custom PHP work.<\/p>\n
The client had a vision. He wanted a social media site for fitness and sports lovers to network and meet up with one another. This platform would ideally allow users to join like-minded groups, get news on what\u2019s happening nearby, and even post their own content.<\/p>\n
The client wanted to know if we could make that happen, and the answer, of course, was \u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n
We built everything in WordPress and PHP.<\/p>\n
The site is full of features. Users can select and navigate between sports categories, their \u201cstream\u201d (similar to a FB feed), chat, the blog, and their groups.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, the website functions a lot like Facebook, but with an added emphasis on groups and specific sports. Users can select between yoga, running, and cycling, and join subgroups related to each sport.<\/p>\n
Making the UX streamlined and simple was a priority for us, and in this, we feel we succeeded.<\/p>\n
The challenge of creating custom PHP is, of course, one we were glad to take on. Every new project that comes along is a chance to develop and hone our skills according to shifting industry standards.<\/p>\n
Our stack for this project consisted of WordPress, MySql, PHP, and Javascript.<\/p>\n
