Web application modernization project
TimeBanks USA used Market Acumen for the development of Community Weaver 3, a platform for “time banking” – a model which builds local communities and encourages the sharing of skills and labor. They were struggling with outdated hardware and buggy software across 500+ Drupal installations.
Modern web architecture
Market Acumen migrated Timebanks USA’s systems to higher reliability and lower-cost Amazon Web Services, and created Community Weaver 3, a web application which migrated customers seamlessly from their Drupal installations to a new, modern design adding features in record time.
Open source software solutions
Our solutions incorporated modern web platforms like Amazon’s Aurora for MySQL for cost and reliability, and open source PHP application frameworks, Bootstrap for fast implementation of compatible and modern web design. Features were added such as in-app language translation and internationalization tools, billing, advanced email templates, and advanced management tools for Timebank coordinators and administrators.

Market Acumen works with any full-stack web-based application and can help nearly any technology. Want to implement DevOps best practices, CI/CT automated deployments, and infrastructure as code to manage your project?
