United Kingdom · Solihull
Detartech is a software company whose Istanbul team built the World Summer Schools platform from scratch for BYA Consultancy, based in Solihull in the West Midlands. The platform brings summer school programmes from around the world into one searchable catalogue and speeds up content entry with AI. Meetings with companies in Solihull are held in English and can be online or in person.
We built World Summer Schools from scratch, starting with the catalogue and search, then content entry and permissions. In a new product we write down the question you want to validate and limit the scope to it; the code and accounts stay yours.
View serviceAt World Summer Schools content managers enter raw data and an OpenAI integration suggests summaries and categories. We use AI to speed up repetitive work, not to make decisions; the final word stays with the content team.
View serviceFor World Summer Schools we set up a Jenkins CI/CD pipeline on Ubuntu servers, so updates are tested before they go live. In a new product, setting up the pipeline before the first release lowers the risk of every release that follows.
View serviceFor a Solihull team that put together a prototype quickly with Lovable or Cursor, the first step is to separate code that works from code that happens to work. Access control, secrets, dependencies and input validation are audited; fixes arrive as separate pull requests, and a permanent security gate is added to the CI/CD pipeline.
View serviceWhen a catalogue platform needs to move onto mobile, we can build a Flutter or React Native client that uses the existing .NET backend. The search and filtering experience is redesigned for mobile screens, and the store release goes out through your accounts.
View serviceOn a catalogue site, the rendering strategy decides both speed and whether search engines can read the pages. At World Summer Schools the front end was built with Next.js and the services with .NET, and the content team manages programmes from a role-based panel.
View serviceIn a catalogue with hundreds of programme pages, keeping filter combinations from producing needless pages in search engines is part of the indexing plan. For a Solihull company we set up indexing, Core Web Vitals and measurement as one system; we do not guarantee rankings.
View serviceA platform whose programme, school and country information sits in a tidy data model lends itself to being turned into structured data that AI engines can read. We do that preparation with llms.txt, schema markup and a robots.txt policy; being quoted cannot be guaranteed.
View serviceBy default, whether an ad form enquiry became a customer stays inside the CRM and never reaches the ad platform. For a Solihull company we build a line on your own server that sends that information back through the Conversions API.
View serviceWhen a platform is built from scratch, some decisions cannot be undone later: where the data sits, whose name the accounts are opened under, the first API contract published outside. We write these decisions down with their reasoning on single pages and leave the record with you.
View serviceWorld Summer Schools' .NET and PostgreSQL infrastructure was built to grow with programme and user volume. When volume rises, we measure first to find the bottleneck, then add query optimisation and a cache layer with a plan that can be rolled back.
View serviceSolihull is a town in the West Midlands of England, close to Birmingham. Our client BYA Consultancy is based there; our team is in Istanbul.
In this kind of engagement the counterpart is clear, there is one product and the priorities are explicit. Meetings are held in English and can be online or in person. When building a product from scratch, the most important thing is to get the scope and the data model right in the first weeks; those decisions are written down and become the basis for later sprints.
BYA Consultancy wanted to connect families and students with summer school programmes in different countries. The old process relied on manual content management, email correspondence and scattered information sources. Presenting hundreds of programmes in an organised, searchable and user-friendly way, speeding up content entry and keeping the system ready to grow were the core requirements.
Summer school programmes from around the world sit under one roof. Users can apply advanced filters by age, country, programme type and dates. For a family, that means comparing suitable programmes for their child in one place.
School and programme information can be structured through an OpenAI integration. Content managers enter raw data, and the AI produces summary and category suggestions. This noticeably reduces manual work and speeds up adding new programmes to the catalogue.
A custom permission structure was built for different user types such as visitors, consultants and administrators, which keeps content management controlled and secure.
The platform runs on a cloud-based, scalable stack of Next.js, .NET and PostgreSQL. Ubuntu servers and a CI/CD pipeline built with Jenkins make sure updates are tested before they go live.
A catalogue platform is not finished when it goes live: new programmes are added, filters change and the number of users grows. That is why we made the World Summer Schools infrastructure scalable from the start and used Jenkins so that every update is tested before release. After launch, monthly maintenance packages can cover bug fixes, security updates, performance monitoring and small improvements. For AI-assisted components, we recommend reviewing the outputs with the content team whenever the underlying model changes.
Istanbul is three hours ahead of Solihull in winter and two in summer. UK mornings and the first half of the afternoon are shared working time. Parts of the system that process personal data are designed with the UK GDPR in mind. We cover the country-level details on our United Kingdom page.
The first meeting is free, and we reply within 24 hours. Once we have defined the scope together, we prepare a written proposal on a fixed-price or time and materials basis. On delivery, full ownership of the source code passes to you, and 30 days of post-launch support are included.
Wherever you are, the first meeting is free, online or in person.
