About the project
Our contributions
The initial goal was to migrate from the WordPress site to a ruby on rails application within 2 weeks. Then the plan expanded to making a wholly new user experience and next-generation platform.
- Migration routine from WordPress to Ruby on Rails website
We migrated from the WordPress site to a ruby on rails application within 2 weeks. For both Ruby on Rails website and mobile API development, we used Gitflow, RSpec, and cucumber autotests, and using GitHub, Jenkins, Capistrano, Ubuntu servers. - Android and iOS mobile apps for customer
Mobile app development and Ruby on Rails mobile API were done with a waterfall process within one month.
We used continuous delivery infrastructure for Ruby on Rails mobile API development based on Gitflow, RSpec, and cucumber autotests. We also used GitHub, Jenkins, Capistrano, and Ubuntu servers. - Ruby on Rails website with landing pages, customer area, and order workflow
We used agile scrum with one-week sprints over 6 months of Ruby on Rails website development. We started with UX/UI and graphical design. Development of backend basic features and migration routine was done in parallel with UI prototyping. After the first month UI prototype was ready, and we started crafting landing pages, order workflow, and customer area.
