Case Study
About the Project
The success of this project was achieved through the implementation of the design suggested by the client, utilizing WordPress and Caspio as the main platforms for data management tools and user experience design. The project involved the selection and customization of themes, configuring the layout based on Caspio forms, establishing platform connections through API key to enable data storage, management, and access through Caspio's database management tools, as well as the implementation of custom code to handle an external JavaScript integration.
What were the project goals?
Despite the inherent limitations of low-code platforms and the complexities associated with design, we successfully achieved a 90% adaptation of the design for both desktop and mobile interfaces.
The Challenge
Complex Business Logic:The application encompasses sophisticated business logic and intricate workflows, which posed challenges for the team to effectively convey these requirements using the visual interface of the low-code platform. To address this, we conducted in-depth research and evaluation in the initial phase to identify the optimal approach and explore potential solutions. Our goal was to ensure that establishing connections between tables, data pages, triggered actions, and views did not negatively impact other functionalities or disrupt the user journey. Through careful analysis and consideration, we devised a well-planned strategy to implement the complex business logic and workflows within the limitations of the low-code platform. However, it is important to note that complex logic may sometimes require custom code or workarounds, which can reduce the advantages of low-code development.
Custom Code Development: While low-code platforms provide pre-built components and templates for rapid development, customization can be challenging, especially when the UI and UX experience is not initially designed with low-code platforms' limitations in mind. In this case, as we received a customized design from an external party, accommodating every unique design or functionality request had some limitations. We often needed to explore workarounds and consider additional custom coding to achieve the desired level of customization.
Performance and Scalability: With new features being added after the initial release, performance, and scalability remain ongoing challenges for both existing and new functionalities. The high data volume, complex processing, and extensive user interactions may require code optimization to ensure good performance. The abstraction layer of a low-code platform can introduce inefficiencies or limitations that affect scalability, necessitating careful consideration and optimization.
Dependencies and Relationships: When tables have relationships or dependencies with other tables in the application, exporting and importing them requires careful handling. It is essential to consider the order in which tables are imported to preserve referential integrity and avoid errors caused by missing dependencies.
