Case Studies

The Challenge

SolarLife24 designs and manufactures instrumented smart PPE hardware. Smart gear is only half of the product: something has to read the sensors, store what they report, and turn it into safety records people can use. The company also needed a public website and a store app.

Our Solution

AppWT is SolarLife24's technology and infrastructure partner. We build and run the server-side platform and the data pipeline that reads every sensor in the gear, with presence and condition tracking, safety time records, and the AI and reporting layers. We also built a login-protected partner portal, narrated program films in 11 languages, the solarlife24.com website and the SolarLife24 Android app on Google Play.

The Google Play listing names AppWT Web & AI Solutions as the developer, and solarlife24.com carries "Built by AppWT LLC" in its footer. No performance figures are cleared for publication yet.

The Challenge

An integrator that programs and integrates robotic assembly lines for manufacturers had its website on a hosted page builder template. Each page load contacted 11 outside origins, and the contact form posted to the builder's API, so on a copy of the site nothing was sent anywhere.

Our Solution

Rebuilt the same pages in pure PHP, self-hosted all 33 unique image URLs, 4 videos and 5 font files, added a default-src self content security policy, and rebuilt the contact form with validation, a honeypot and a rate limit, writing leads outside the web root. Then measured the rebuild against the live original, three runs per page.

Figures come from the build record and can be walked through on a call. The client is not named because it has not published the relationship.

The Challenge

A 3,000+ product Magento candy store was turning real shoppers away with intermittent 403 errors, unstyled pages, and 10-15 second load times. Some categories showed no products and Add-to-Cart sometimes loaded faded and unclickable - none of it reproducible from the store's own network, which is why it had gone undiagnosed.

Our Solution

Reproduced the failures as a real external visitor, removed an over-aggressive request limiter that banned shoppers on asset-heavy page loads, fixed a caching bug forcing a 13 MB JavaScript bundle to re-download on every page, restored empty categories, repaired Add-to-Cart, and built relentless auto-healing monitoring. Then layered on AI search visibility: Store and FAQ structured data, a robots policy welcoming ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Siri, and Alexa, dedicated answer pages, and an llms.txt summary.

The Challenge

Licensed therapy practice needed a HIPAA-adjacent web application with practitioner management, service catalogs, and secure patient intake - without relying on WordPress or off-the-shelf solutions that lacked the flexibility their multi-practitioner model required.

Our Solution

Built a custom PHP application from scratch with a database-driven CMS, admin panel for managing practitioners and services, PDO prepared statements for security, honeypot + math CAPTCHA spam prevention, SimplePractice booking integration, and ADA accessibility compliance. Video system with local hosting and YouTube fallback.

The Challenge

Lifestyle brand needed a custom e-commerce site where background music plays continuously while customers browse products - standard platforms break audio on page navigation. Required Stripe payment processing, product variants (colors, sizes), and offline capability.

Our Solution

Engineered an AJAX-based navigation system that loads pages without interrupting the music player. Built custom product image switching with color/size variant selectors, integrated Stripe Checkout for payment processing, and implemented a service worker for offline capability. All without WordPress or Shopify.
