Laravel Development

Project Goal

The client approached us for the designing and development of the group video and image-sharing website. The requirements of the client are mentioned below:

• Required a SAAS online application that would allow many users to register in order to view, create, modify, and share movies and photos.
• Uploaded movies and photos can be public or private
• Users can follow each other on the website’s home page to receive notifications and feeds.
• Payment Integration

Solution

To meet the demands of the client, our development team built a Laravel-based SAAS web online application for a group video montage. Our graphic designer created wireframes and a design mockup template of the website and implemented the changes once they get finalized by the client.

The design of the website is mobile compatible, readable, and has good typography. We created a custom dashboard for the users to create new videos and manage the others. With the dashboard, users can invite their friends, send video gifts, and more. We did frontend development and backend development along with designing.

✔️ Create Special Group Videos

The users can create their first video by signing up for the group video-sharing website. They can specify the event for which the videos are required, write an invitation message, set a deadline, title, and featured image. Users who have registered can edit their onsite profile names and photos. They may upload videos, choose background music, patterns, and photos, adjust the volume, equalizers, font, and text, and more.

Users can also add thumbnails of their choice and, if necessary, recreate videos on the platform. It provides a personalized URL for the completed video that you may share with whomever you like.

✔️ Invite Friends

Users can invite friends and family to join them on the bespoke SAAS website for video montage and video uploading. Invitations can be sent via email or social media platforms like Facebook and Whatsapp. The video maker has the ability to copy the video’s URL and share it with anyone, via any channel. A video’s creator can choose whether to make it public or private. 

✔️ Edit Videos

The participants can rearrange the video clips in the timeline with a drag and drop option. Also, the users can edit the videos by adding music, adding a background screen, or trim/merge the videos.

✔️ Custom Payment Integration

The client receives a tiered access system for income generation from our custom SAAS video montage website. Users can make up to three videos for free, after which they must upgrade to the paid edition of the platform. In the free mode, the final video may only be viewed on YouTube.

The premium version allows you to create unlimited media files and access the videos straight from the platform’s server. We used custom payment gateway integration for both PayPal and Skrill payment processing.

✔️ Final words

So, this was about custom SAAS web application development which benefited our client from exceptional business agility in a shorter time. If you are also looking for the SAAS web application development then you can contact us.

“Outstanding job since the first day and all along these 12 months of work. The team from The Brihaspati Infotech is very professional, responsible, and easy to communicate with. Fast response, and pleasant people to talk to: polite or agreeable.  We had as many Google meetings as I requested, just to make sure we were on the right path and ahead of schedule. And they were all the way willing to go the extra mile.They did much more than requested. Since this is not my field of expertise, many times they researched for me what was the best solution for my problems, not charging extra for that… So they don’t just DO it, but they THINK to really collaborate with the project. Really satisfied with how the work came out – thanks Raman Kumar, Nishant Seghal, Kunal, Deepak, and all the team. Great job! Will hire again, for sure.”

Project Goal

The client requested a media-sharing platform where multiple users can register and share videos and images with their followers. They also wanted users to be able to choose between public and private access to their media, giving them complete control over the display of their information.

• Public content should be visible to all other users of the website.
• Separate profile for users with name and picture.
• Users can only see a private item of other users if that user has shared the link of that item with that particular user. 
• Follow/Unfollow users.

However, establishing a platform that could handle high bandwidth, website load, and enormous volumes of data while also offering fluent responses was a challenge. 

Solution

After understanding the complete requirement of the client, our development team started the process. For ease of use, the website required a structured, streamlined UI/UX flow as well as reliable backend functions.

Therefore, our development team used the Laravel framework to develop a real-time web application from scratch. To make the whole process time saving and hassle-free, we decided to distribute the access of this platform into two user roles:

• User 
• Admin

✔️ User

Every end-user on the platform can signup and log in using the Facebook or Google Account.  The key goal of this platform was to provide users with quick, interactive functionality while maintaining high security for their data and personal information.

This platform provides a separate profile to every user where they can post the content and filter them public or private. The users can enjoy the following features:

✔️ No advertisements on content

By using this platform, the user will be able to offer the content without any extra distractions. The absence of advertisements helps viewers to enjoy the final product. This Web application gives complete freedom to the users to showcase their professional work without any interruption.

✔️ Superb Quality

️This platform hosts the content of the users in the highest possible quality. The UI appears to be contemporary, sleek, and professional. WEBM, MOV, MP4, and MPEG are among the video formats supported by this platform.  The users can post the images in PNG, JPEG, JPG, and GIF format.

✔️ Secure Privacy Preferences

It provides the users a variety of privacy choices, including the ability to control who can see or access your posts. The platform’s advanced privacy controls provide content creators with the protection and peace of mind they need to provide a better user experience.

Users can mark the uploaded images/videos as public or private. Public content will be visible to all other users of the website. But, private content should not be visible to other users. Users can send the link of the private item to the particular user. 

✔️ Storage

Our development team made sure that the images and videos posted by multiple users are stored safely in AWS S3 Bucket. 

✔️ Customization

This platform provides the best viewing experience.  It allows the users to customize the look and edit the video information. While editing, the users can change their video as well as upload a new video.

✔️ Admin

The major goal of developing this module was to allow the client to keep track of the content and activity of their website’s visitors. We created a separate admin login for the client so that they could have secure and convenient access to the Admin Panel. The client can have complete retention over the user accounts through the Admin panel. They can also edit and delete the media files the users have submitted on the site. 

The admin can monitor the user engagement from the dashboard. They could quickly block any user and monitor their media content as well as platform interactions. The admin can manage the users, videos, and images posted by the user.

Apart from it, the Website has separate sections for video content and images with search options.

One of the important aspects that led to the project’s success was TBI’s team’s demonstrated deep competence in WordPress. We’ve been working on similar technologies for a long time, and we were able to effectively complete this project to add a new milestone for TBI.  If you’re seeking a cost-effective staff to assist you, contact us immediately to discuss your needs.

“Excellent work and communication. Already planning my next project to work with them again. Very good.”

Project Goal

A community app brings together all followers on a single, interactive platform that you have complete control over. It’s an excellent approach to boost member retention and engagement rates. Similarly, the client also wanted to develop a community App that brings viewers and content creators together. At this, the client looked out for a highly skilled development team who can help in getting such a platform.

Features of the Platform were:

• Subscription for the premium content
• Media Sharing feature
• Live streaming options: where one user can broadcast live stream (real-time) to its multiple subscribers
• Payment Gateway Integration
• Real-time text-based chat implementation

Solution

To meet the client’s specific needs, our Laravel development team came up with the following services:

• UI design mockups for the platform
• Developed a custom responsive interface
• Configuration of Amazon S3 for media content storage
• Configuration of AWS EC2 for hosting of Creator subdomain
• Social Media Integration
• Live Streaming
• Internal Messaging System
• Third-party API Integration 

Our development team built three modules of consumer, creator, and admin.

✔️ Consumer  

Consumers could quickly sign up and log into the web application using social media or email addresses. We also implemented features like email authentication, form validation, and password reset to guarantee that the app is safe and easy to use. 

They can look for creators and view their profiles by searching for them. We provided features such as Like, Follow, Comment, Notification, and Live Feed. The consumer has to pay online to access the premium content of the creator they subscribed to. They can connect with the creator and admin for support through the internal messaging chat option.

✔️ Creator

This module has advanced features like premium content sharing, scheduling. The creator can post Images, text & video content. They also have the ability to schedule the posts for the future. Moreover, creators can set up personal subscription plans to collect payment for specific postings or combinations of posts. The nominal fee will be set by the creator for the subscriber to read the post.

We added the features like watermark images, image resizing and did video integration with Vimeo and S3 bucket integration. The creators can manage the list of subscribers and can block/ unblock from commenting.

✔️ Admin

The Admin module was designed to give our client access to the app’s administrative features. The admin can log in to their admin dashboard and can check the data of total registered users. Through the admin dashboard, they can check the total revenue aggregated for each creator.

The admin manages the list of messages. They can send reminders and promotional messages to the creators and the consumers. Moreover, the admin manages the registered users. They have the ability to view, edit, delete, add and update the status of the user. They can approve or reject the new account of the creator.

Through the dashboard, the admin reviews the content of the creator and has the ability to approve or reject the posts. They also manage the support tickets and messages received from the users. The admin can add, edit or delete the messages and tickets.

The payment of the premium content of the creator will be sent to the admin, who will deduct his commission before releasing the funds. The admin can add/delete/edit the commission value.

✔️ Payment Integration

We integrated a payment gateway API so that the admin gets the commission of each sale made by the creator. We integrated with Authorize.net for collecting payments.

✔️ API Integration

We implemented a live-streaming feature using opentok (Vonage) API where one user can broadcast real-time to its multiple subscribers, similar to Facebook Live. This was implemented using Node.js. We also implemented a live chatting option. Our team integrated the Zendesk API to manage the support ticket operations.

✔️ Finishing Remarks

Our delivered community SAAS platform is doing well. It is very popular and well used by its audiences. If your company needs similar community-based platform development services, get in touch with us.
