Case Study: XPrize launches a secure kids contest platform with Weberous

XPrize launches a fast, multi-step contest site with Weberous

The non-profit organization XPrize partnered with Disney to create a contest for children but faced the challenge of building a secure website with a complex parental verification process and support for multimedia submissions. They engaged the vendor Weberous to develop a custom WordPress CMS solution to meet these legal and technical requirements.

Weberous implemented a multi-step registration and identity verification system using the Transunion API. Their solution included automatic media handling, compressing photos, converting videos via Zencoder, and using Amazon S3 for storage to ensure speed and cross-device functionality. This work by Weberous successfully launched the contest site, which was praised for its fantastic appearance and seamless operation.
