Major Milestones

Challenges & Solutions

Problem: During campaign events, the platform experienced sudden traffic spikes that caused slow page loads and risked user drop-offs.

Solution

Implemented multi-layer caching (page + object caching), CDN delivery, optimized database queries, and lazy-loaded media assets—reducing load times to under 2 seconds.

Problem: The platform had to perform consistently across a wide range of devices, including older smartphones used in rural regions.

Solution

Built a mobile-first layout using Bootstrap 5 utilities, responsive images, progressive enhancement, and custom breakpoints for critical components.

Problem: Handling sensitive voter data, volunteer records, and analytics required strict security without affecting usability.

Solution

Implemented SSL, role-based access control, encrypted data storage, CAPTCHA protection, and regular security audits.

Problem: Campaign teams needed to update events, announcements, galleries, and content frequently, but most users had no technical background.

Solution

Built a simplified WordPress admin experience using ACF with clearly labeled custom fields, repeaters, and role-based access, enabling teams to manage updates confidently without developer dependency.
