Kayla Helmick builds a Laravel app in 5.5 days with Laravel

The customer, Kayla Helmick, is a virtual assistant with no coding experience. Her challenge was to build a custom application for a memorial fund, a task that required features like a photo gallery and a memory submission system which were beyond the capabilities of standard page builders.

Using Laravel Cloud and Claude Code, Kayla was able to build and deploy a full-featured Laravel application in just 5.5 days. The solution included a media gallery, a memory submission system with an approval workflow, a blog, and email notifications, achieving a result that was faster and more functional than initially expected.
