Modernizing College Recruiting Through Scalable SaaS Solutions
Discover how XeoDev partnered with College Fit Finder to redesign and scale their recruiting platform, empowering athletes, clubs, and coaches through intuitive design and powerful functionality.
The Challenge: Scaling a Creative Vision
XeoDev’s Strategic Development
We began by building a flexible design system that could scale across features. Inspired by leading web platforms, we created a reusable component structure—nicknamed “6-pack cards”—to simplify UI, increase glanceability, and streamline mobile adaptation. This system allowed:
Modular Component Design: Reusable UI patterns for search, filtering, and results.
Mobile-First Adaptability: Optimized experience across devices using smart layout transitions.
Performance Scaling: Load-balanced architecture using AWS Elastic Beanstalk for front-end elasticity.
Technology and UX Enhancements
Laravel + Vue.js Framework: A modern tech stack enabling rapid development and clean integration.
Dynamic Theming: Custom branding per club or college, including automated color schemes and logos.
Email Queueing System: Asynchronous email delivery via background tasks to enhance performance.
Agile Launch Execution: Pivoted from feature-complete to time-based delivery, culminating in a successful launch with iterative post-launch sprints.
