Client
Big Art Company, owner of a YouTube channel called HistoriaBezCenzury
and the video platform moviebox.pl, which allows you to upload, play and manage multimedia content.
Challenge
The previous version of the portal, developed in the past, became inefficient due to technological debt. Key problems included:
Performance problems – The portal could not cope with a large number of users at the same time, which led to frequent crashes and slow loading of the site.
Outdated technologies – The libraries and tools used are no longer supported, making it difficult to develop and introduce new features.
Difficulties in content management – The administration panel was not very intuitive and its functionality was limited, not all required elements could be edited, programmer intervention was required to make changes to the interface.
The client, after our suggestion, decided to completely rewrite the system in order to improve performance, stability and enable further development.
