Nopio

Solere Digital selected Nopio as their development partner for this project because of Nopio’s excellence in communication, creativity, and ability to deliver unique and innovative platforms. Together, Nopio and Solere Digital forged a custom-built solution that combined Ruby on Rails and Solr search. Today, the Manifesto application allows Solere Digital and their clients to:

- Acquire new talent via applications submitted through online forms
- Approve or reject applicants within the platform as they go through the interview and vetting process
- Create a database of approved applicants and filter them by using rating, rates, location, availability, and other criteria
- Manage projects and budgets based on the talent selected
- Easily find and assign new members to projects in order to form unique teams

Nopio was also tasked to create a hosting solution and a deployment strategy for the product, which is handled by a combination of Docker...

In order to accommodate the client’s needs, our team reused bits and pieces of the new design to create the missing views of the site. In each case, the client was presented with multiple mockups of possible looks and descriptions outlining the pros and cons. Since this process was based on prototyping pageviews, it was significantly more efficient than a standard design workflow. Additionally, the site has been updated to use Razor templating engine and a new deployment automation.

The Alliance for Young Artists and Writers (http://www.artandwriting.org/) has very specific needs in terms of running the program. Through most of the year, the main function of the project is providing information about the program. Their remaining time is very busy. Site traffic explodes from about 30 thousands to 1.5 million pageviews per week. Students upload hundreds of gigabytes of work to the system. Panels of judges from around the nation then review thousands of submissions, judge them, and assign awards. To make all of this possible, a very specialized set of tools is needed.

The Nopio team has been tasked with building the tools up to the specification. Using C# .Net MVC, MsSQL, BackboneJS, Solr search and Amazon AWS, we created a system that fulfills all the requirements of The Alliance.

The Underwear Expert wanted to create a subscription model business in the form of a custom underwear-of-the-month club. The challenge was to automate the process of ordering and managing stock, processing payments and developing tools to manage the business on the e-commerce platform.

Ceros’ team brought Nopio in and discussed which approach would solve their sites issues best. Together, we formulated a plan to:

- Clean up the website’s WordPress theme code

- Build a new WordPress site to host the blog and import the existing content from HubSpot

- Build a new support site in WordPress to stand in place of the old one

- Set up an easy and automated deployment process for each of the sites

When Nopio was done, Ceros’ sites became easy to maintain with a unified brand look and a seamless user experience.

Thanks to a recommendation by one of our clients, Patten Studio brought us in and tasked our skilled team with creating a fresh WordPress site with a new custom-built theme.
With the design delivered by Patten Studio, we presented a plan to create a system that:

- allowed a total and easy control over the content of the website

- enabled easy future maintenance and performance optimizations

- supported possible future extensions of the theme
