Challenges & It’s Solutions
Previously the website was not user-friendly and it loaded slowly. Users encountered difficulties in finding what they needed to complete tasks on the site, leading to frustration and decreased engagement.
We redesigned the website to make it simpler for people to find what they re looking for and do what they need to do. We focused on optimizing the website s performance to reduce loading times. This involved code optimization, minimizing HTTP requests, optimizing images and multimedia content to improve overall speed and responsiveness
The challenge was to build a marketplace within CoachCatalyst that could seamlessly integrate with Stripe Connect and allow coaches to receive payments directly from clients. There was a need for a user-friendly interface and a scalable database structure that could handle the complexities of managing payments securely.
We started by conducting a thorough analysis of marketplace requirements, outlining the features and functionality needed. We also designed a scalable and efficient database structure for the marketplace that involved defining relational tables and optimizing queries. We integrated Stripe Connect into CoachCatalyst to enable coaches to receive payments directly from clients. This involved setting up OAuth authentication, implementing seller onboarding flows, and handling payout processing securely.
Integrating the community module into our existing project proved to be complex task because the project structure wasn t originally planned to accommodate such a module.
To address the complexity of integrating the community module into our existing project, we implemented a phased approach. This involved breaking down the integration process into manageable steps and prioritizing key functionality. Utilizing modular design principles, we isolated the community module components and gradually integrated them into our project.
The custom chat module in coach catalyst was written in coffee script, it lacked user-friendliness and required optimization to improve performance.
We migrated the module from CoffeeScript to Vue.js. We then focused on improving the user interface by incorporating modern design principles and user-friendly features like real-time updates. We Optimized the performance of the chat module by implementing efficient data fetching and rendering techniques, minimizing network requests, and optimizing code execution. This ensured smooth and responsive user experiences, even under high load conditions.
Upgrading the website from Vue 2 to Vue 3 was also a significant challenge. Vue 3 introduces several new features, changes in syntax, and optimizations, which require careful consideration and implementation to ensure a smooth transition.
We began by thoroughly analyzing the existing Vue 2 code to understand its structure and dependencies. Then, we updated all Vue-related components to their Vue 3 versions and refactored the code to align with Vue 3's new Composition API and syntax. We also updated custom directives and plugins to ensure compatibility with Vue 3. Additionally, we optimized performance by utilizing Vue 3's features and reduced bundle size for faster loading times.
