the challenge

Makerist needed to scale up its platform, and our team of experts’ mission on this project was to improve its scalability and performance and to add new features.

the solution

We improved the website and used Ruby on Rails for the entire platform to ensure a smooth and clean code. 

Once the architecture was done, to connect the web app user with desirable content, we implemented a complex global search based on the Algolia search engine. For the Makerist sellers, we developed a CMS (content management system) to help artists manage their profiles, upload & sell their designs, and monitor their sales.

The Makerist platform is fully scalable now, and everyone using it can easily combine all the learning resources, videos, and showcases to develop a new hobby in an interactive and innovative way and to sell their crafts! This platform helps craft businesses digitalize their activity.
