Eccky Case Study

Work Completed: Front-end development, custom CMS, game & payment integration

Introduction

Allowing Eccky users to play on eccky.com consisted in a total rebuilding of the website. We worked closely for months with Eccky’s in-house designers to build out an experience that mimics the friendly environment that user’s are accustomed to within the game. In addition, we we worked to build out features that allowed users to purchase credits and gift cards directly from the Eccky website, a feature that before was only available to users from within the game itself. Finally, we worked closely with the game development company to integrate Facebook and Hyves OAuth protocols, allowing users to log into their Facebook or Hyves accounts without ever having to leave the site.

What We Did

Custom CMS

Since pre-existing content management systems (CMS) did not meet all of the needs of Eccky, we designed and built out a custom CMS. While our custom CMS contained many of the standard features one might expect in a traditional CMS, the one we designed had two key differences: 1.) It was designed from the ground up to work with multiple language versions of the site and 2.) It was built with a powerful roles-based system that allowed for different types of users to manage and have access to different parts of the CMS. The end result is a website that can be fully customized directly by the Eccky team in a number of different languages.

Game & Payment Integration

While WE FlexForce wasn’t responsible for actually building the game, we did have to work closely with the game development company to create a seamless experience for users to log in and play the game. This included collaborating with the game company to create a set of APIs that would enable us to build out a rich experience for the end users.
