Challenge
This was our third project for the EPFL (for the previous, one check out our AMLD case study).
We knew each other pretty well at this point, so a certain level of mutual trust and understanding was established. That helped us to jump into the project.
This time, the client came with a clear business problem: increasing the visibility of academic courses at the extension school. EPFL is one of the best technical universities in Europe and the knowledge offered in the courses is high quality, but the problem was to reach 'customers.'
Our task was to implement the web app in accordance with the best SEO practices so that it did not have to be further optimized.

Solution
The technology chosen was Ruby on Rails. We made this choice because of the speed of implementation and the fact that other customer systems are also based on this technology. The active admin library was dictated by the convenience of managing the content and users of the portal.
The client came to us with a ready-made design, so we were able to take care of the implementation immediately. We also propose our own solutions to make the website even more functional.
We added a newsletter management mechanism, role-based authorization, optimized meta tags for better SEO and newsletter signup was handled by a background worker. We also added extra functionality: SEO-optimized images in articles and a sitemap for SEO.

Results
The website was created very quickly - in just four weeks - and within the expected time. It allowed the client to reach people who want to broaden their skills and the website itself, thanks to SEO solutions, is well indexed by search engines like Google.
Thanks to such a rapid implementation, the client was able to start getting customers interested in the courses at fast pace.
