PROJECT SOLUTION
To address the challenges faced in developing the Plixto platform, we leveraged a robust suite of technologies and strategies. We utilized WordPress and Elementor to build a flexible and customizable content management system, incorporating HTML, external CSS, and JavaScript to enhance functionality and design. PHP was employed for server-side scripting, while Hostinger provided reliable hosting to ensure scalability and performance. WPForms and SMTP facilitated effective user interactions and communications. For the points-based reward system, we developed a comprehensive mechanism allowing users to earn points for streaming content, which can be redeemed for products or services. This system required effective tracking and redemption processes, seamlessly integrated with our rewards store. In addressing the challenge of button hover animations and interactive elements, we designed engaging external CSS animations. We focused on ensuring these elements were consistent across different browsers and devices while optimizing performance to enhance user experience. To ensure scalability and performance, we optimized the platform’s infrastructure to handle high-definition video streaming and a large number of simultaneous users, maintaining smooth performance and high user satisfaction. These solutions collectively contributed to a robust, user-centric platform that effectively meets the needs of both viewers and filmmakers, significantly enhancing the overall Plixto experience.
