A feedback and result-oriented partner, SIVOXI® delivered an engaging website that mirrored their client’s branding and impressed internal stakeholders. The team was also lauded for employing an upfront and collaborative approach, paving the way for a smooth-sailing and harmonious engagement.

Brief

Our client, an established rugby blog curator approached us to design and develop a rugby-focused social media platform, with the aim to expand on their immensely popular blog. Rugby is a popular sport that attracts millions of fans worldwide. Despite this, there was no dedicated social media platform for rugby fans to connect with each other and engage with the latest news and events in the rugby world. To address this need, we developed the first-ever rugby-focused social media platform.

Although the project was completed successfully, Rugby Rocks has taken an indefinite break due to the detrimental effect that the covid-19 pandemic had on the playing of sport during the global lockdown. We hope to see this amazing platform return to our screens in the near future.

Constraints and bespoke requirements

1

Developing a social media platform involves significant technical challenges, such as database management, scalability, and security. It was critical to ensure that the platform was capable of handling large volumes of traffic and users, while keeping their data secure.

2

The social media platform was designed and developed for mobile use only.

The social media platform had a number of bespoke requirements, including the integration of APIs, podcasts, live audio streaming and the introduction of "voice" blogs, influencers in the rugby world who provided unique content for users to engage with.

Custom web app

In order to meet our client’s unique needs and requirements, we delivered a custom web app. Instead of generic templates, this web app was custom-built to meet the client’s specific objectives, brand, and functionality requirements. We created this custom web app with the design, content, and features to meet the specific needs of the client. It provides a unique online presence that sets our client apart from its competitors.

This social media platform was truly one of a kind and disrupted the rugby online social scene. Rugby fans had access to everything rugby-related in the palm of their hands and in one platform. They were able to feel part of a tight-knit community by staying up-to-date with the latest news, podcasts and fixtures all the while getting acquainted with influencers in the market, in the form of “voices”, who would share personal content with the community to engage with. Rugby fans could also cherry-pick the content they specifically wanted to view, creating a curated and meaningful experience for them.

Content Management System (CMS)

A Content Management System (CMS) is a software platform that enables non-technical users to create, manage, and publish content for a website without the need for manual HTML or code edits. With a CMS, users can log in to a web-based interface and create, edit, and manage pages, blog posts, images, videos, and other types of content on their website.

A CMS simplifies the process of creating and managing content for a website, enabling users to keep their website up-to-date and relevant. This can help to improve the user experience, attract and retain visitors, and increase the overall success of a website.

The custom platform was designed to be intuitive and easy to use, with a modern, responsive interface that would work seamlessly on any device. The platform also featured a range of interactive multimedia tools and resources to enhance the learning experience for students, such as video lectures, interactive quizzes, and virtual classrooms.

The platform was also designed to be scalable and flexible, allowing our client to easily add and remove courses as needed and to accommodate its growing student base. Our development team also implemented robust security and privacy measures to protect sensitive student data.

Integration with an existing learner management system

An early childhood development education platform that provides access to quality education to young children in South Africa.

Brief

Afrika Tikkun Bambanani is a non-profit organisation that specialises in the upliftment and education of young children in South Africa. We were tasked with designing and developing BambaLearn, an early childhood education (ECD) education platform for tablet devices that helps children reach their necessary educational milestones in a fun and effective way.

Client industry

Education

Constraints and challenges

1

When using traditional education methods it is extremely difficult to manage multiple schools, in many different locations with thousands of learners.

2

Young children in under-privileged environments are not exposed to technology. Any platform would require an exceptional user experience.

3

Lack of ‘excitement’ with traditional education methods. Young learners easily lose interest in the learning material.

4

Inability to easily monitor a learner’s educational progress across multiple geographic locations.

5

Teachers required assistance and structure for their educational programs

Expertise provided

Solution

BambaLearn is an educational tablet app that was specifically designed for young learners between the ages of 2 and 6. The interface was crafted to ensure simplicity.

BambaLearn ensures that age appropriate milestones are reached through rigorous performance monitoring through games. These games include a wide variety of educational puzzles, story books, numeracy activities, problem solving games, literacy, shapes, tracing, counting, letter and number recognition. The application ensures that no child is left behind by enabling stronger learners to work ahead and providing extra revision and repetition for weaker learners.
