Ceo & Founder - Cutout Expert
I was entrusted with enhancing the backend functionality of a pre-existing website, leveraging PHP and MySQL to introduce dynamic features. Initially, I encountered a challenge: the absence of a backend dashboard necessitated the creation of a user-friendly interface to showcase various modifications. Subsequently, I delved into refining the PHP codebase extensively, aiming to enhance the site's dynamic presentation.
As the project progressed, client requirements evolved, prompting the integration of comprehensive image and SEO management options within the dashboard. This necessitated a meticulous blend of PHP and Ajax to meet the site's unique demands effectively.
Challenging Part
Creating the cutoutexparts.com website primarily as a portfolio site posed various challenges focused on development and optimization rather than image cutout algorithms. One of the biggest hurdles was handling image optimization, as the site contains a significant number of images, but the frontend developer did not initially address this aspect. I had to manage these images carefully, optimizing them and adding meta tags through PHP and AJAX, which was quite time-consuming. Implementing the content-related meta tags also proved challenging, as it required manual work to ensure SEO compatibility.
The website also required specific calculations, which needed to be tailored to the clients specificationsthis required extra effort to get just right. On top of that, the contact form, order form, and free trial form were complex due to their image upload functionalities. Managing these uploads required sending them to the client via email and securely storing them in the dashboard. Ensuring that these forms worked smoothly and reliably involved several rounds of testing and adjustments to meet the client's expectations. Overall, these elements made the development process challenging, focusing heavily on technical and backend improvements to deliver a high-quality final product.
