Case Study: a US-based media startup builds a custom social news platform with Capital Numbers

a US-based media startup builds a custom WordPress news platform with Capital Numbers in 6 months

The customer, a US-based media startup, required a custom social networking and news website built from scratch. Their challenge was to create and integrate a unique custom WordPress theme into the pre-built BuddyBoss theme, rather than using a ready-made solution. They needed a platform with a Facebook-like social feed, admin controls, and the ability to scale for thousands of users. Capital Numbers was hired to solve this complex development problem.

Capital Numbers developed a solution by creating a custom theme prototype, gaining client approval, and then coding it with PHP, CSS3, and HTML5. They used a milestone-based approach to integrate the new theme seamlessly into the BuddyBoss install. The results included a platform with over 95% customized code, a backend supporting unlimited daily logins and content uploads, and a fine-grained admin role. The client was highly pleased with the custom theme integration and the project was delivered successfully within six months with zero disruptions.
