Art Academy Live, an online art instructional website with over 6,000 customers worldwide, approached Meanbee with an interest in expanding their website's feature set with a new, subscription based, membership offering access to its extensive online library of high quality tutorial videos.
Having stood up to 3 years of code "hacking" by previous developers the internals of the site were far from perfect and recoding the site from scratch with a fresh Magento install was out of the question for the moment.
The solution was implemented using their existing affiliations with Paypal to bill subscribed members a fixed amount on a monthly basis. The administration of the subscription system was built seamlessly into the existing administration interface to reduce the time necessary to train users on this new extension to the system.
Along with implementation of the system, Meanbee acted in a consulting role for decisions on content delivery - initially favoring Amazon's S3 for competitive pricing. After a few "scares" with S3's reliability and performance a decision was made to move content over to the world leaders in content delivery, Limelight most famous for hosting YouTube.com's videos.
Communication upkeep was crucial with Meanbee being UK based and Art Academy Live being based in Pinehurt, North Carolina. Over 500 emails were sent and hours of phone calls were necessary to the project's success.
Future plans for implementing a customized version of Magento are in the pipeline and Meanbee looks forward to helping another client onto the next generation eCommerce platform.
