Most projects start with a specific business concept, and it wasn’t any different in our case. We needed to develop a system that would allow the client’s employees to display and manage various content (blog posts, newsletters, information about contests, etc.). We also needed to create a user hierarchy structure that would reflect the company’s organization, on the basis of which permissions would be granted for the specific parts of the aforementioned content. Of course, every user would also be required to log in to their account, and the administrator had to have the ability to manage the users, content, and permissions.
The software also had to be integrated with external systems, and last but not least, we needed to pay attention to the general look and feel of the portal, as it would be available for a big audience.
