Rhyme built a platform complete with a customizable startsite, articles, navigation, subscription paywall and payment solution. The proposed solution was based on Wordpress and relevant modules to create a versatile, customizable and maintainable setup:
- CPT UI: Custom Post Types allows can be added to admin panel which increases customizability
- ACF: Advanced Custom Fields makes it possible to add custom fields
- SEO by Yoast to facilitate for the editor to manage visible information for search engines and social media
- WC3: Cache is imperative for keeping load times low on a Wordpress-site
- Smush: Image optimization that allows the editor to focus elsewhere
- GDPR Cookie Compliance for basic GDPR data management
- WooCommerce & Klarna: our chosen payment solution based on WooCommerce Memberships complemented with a gateway from Klarna to handle payments
To this a React.js-based search tool was built in order to handle logged in searches for research material. Rhyme used the internal REST API to build the web application. React.js is a framework that works well with Wordpress and it allowed us to ensure fast searches and load times in a database comprising thousands of items.
