Saysh: Shopify Website Redesign For Bold Female-Led Lifestyle Brand
Like many growing e-commerce businesses that are on Shopify, finding a Shopify Plus development partner that fits certain criteria can be a painfully long process and costly if you don't find the right one. For Saysh, they approached us with exactly this issue. Our team started by completing a wide-ranging audit that assessed the UX, UI, and base code of the website. Led by a team of full-stack Shopify developers, a PM, and a part-time QA expert, this analysis surfaced a number of underperforming elements that were directly impacting the site’s overall conversion rate and user experience. By redesigning their website to match their shoes' sleek designs, and implementing a reliable and fast workflow to get more new store features released, as a software development company, we helped Saysh successfully launch two new products that attracted a devoted following and a lot of new revenue.
AppSpace: Software Development for a Large B2B System
Appspace offers a comprehensive platform that simplifies workplace operations, placing a key emphasis on communication, connectivity, and employee engagement. The client operated an existing legacy B2B software but sought a module capable of scheduling and instantly dispatching content to varied consumer categories. An integral part of our strategy involved crafting a robust data model featuring an efficient schema for storing and retrieving data, enhancing system performance through data indexing and query optimization. The implemented solution has proven to deliver outstanding performance and stability. Despite limited hardware specifications, the service optimally uses system resources, handling substantial workloads and providing seamless filtering capabilities.
Temporal PHP SDK for Open-Source Microservice Platform
Temporal is an open-source, developer-first platform that guarantees the seamless execution of applications and services through workflow-based microservices orchestration. A primary Temporal concern revolved around the potential scenario where even a proficient team might require so much hand-holding, thereby negating the value of an outside party writing this vs their internal team. Our solution was strategically based on using PHP and Golang as the foundational elements of our technology stack. The key result was the successful development of a fully functional PHP SDK for Temporal. Not only did we achieve our primary goal, but we also proactively delivered comprehensive documentation and wow'ed the leads at Temporal.

The result was a final product that not only adhered to SoFi's brand aesthetics but also delivered a user-friendly design, proving instrumental in augmenting the conversion of leads to signups on the SoFi website.

The Spiral Scout team orchestrated a holistic strategy, curating a specialized ensemble of WordPress developers, web designers, QA experts, and a dedicated project manager. Our methodology encompassed a thorough exploration of pivotal domains, delving into backend architecture, UI/UX design audit, SEO optimization, website performance enhancement, video hosting, ad integration, and fortification of website security.
The culmination of our collaborative efforts materialized in the form of a dynamic learning portal. Tailored explicitly for teenagers gearing up for their DMV exams, the platform featured a bespoke communication channel.
