A look behind the scenes
I began by conducting detailed interviews with the client to understand their vision for the fitness platform. This involved identifying target users, defining core features, and establishing key business requirements. The discovery phase helped create a comprehensive project roadmap and technical specifications.
Next, I created detailed wireframes for all key pages and functionality flows. These wireframes were refined through feedback sessions with the client. Once approved, I developed high-fidelity designs focusing on intuitive user experience and a clean, modern aesthetic that aligned with the fitness brand's identity.
The development phase was structured into sprints, starting with the core user system and database architecture. I then built the customer-facing frontend using HTML5, CSS3 with SASS, and JavaScript. The backend was developed using PHP with a MySQL database. Each feature was built with testing and scalability in mind.
A significant challenge was integrating the Stripe payment system with the automated email delivery system. I implemented a secure payment flow with webhook notifications to trigger the email sequence. The integration was tested thoroughly with both test and live API keys to ensure reliability.
Comprehensive testing was performed across multiple browsers and devices to ensure consistent functionality. Performance optimization included image compression, code minification, and database query optimization. Security testing was conducted to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
The final solution was deployed to a production environment with proper server configuration. I provided comprehensive training sessions for the client's team on managing the platform, including content updates, user management, and monitoring payment transactions. Post-launch support was also included for three months.
Problems faced and how I overcame them
Challenge: Ensuring secure payment processing that complied with PCI DSS standards while providing a seamless user experience was a major challenge.
Solution: Implemented Stripe Elements for frontend payment collection, which securely handles sensitive card data without it touching our servers. Utilized Stripe webhooks for asynchronous payment confirmation and fulfillment, reducing the risk of fulfillment issues if a user closes their browser during payment.
Challenge: Creating a reliable system to automatically deliver the correct fitness program files based on the purchased package and client information.
Solution: Developed a template-based email system integrated with MailChimp API that dynamically populates content based on purchase data. Each program has a unique identifier that triggers the correct template and attachment combination. A queuing system was also implemented to handle potential delivery failures and retries.
Challenge: Creating a consistent user experience across various devices, particularly ensuring the workout progress tracking features were fully functional on mobile.
Solution: Adopted a mobile-first approach to design and development, utilizing Bootstrap's responsive grid system. For the interactive charts, I implemented Chart.js with specific mobile configuration options that adjust data density and touch interaction areas. Extensive testing was conducted on various device sizes to ensure optimal display and functionality.
