Hasanat

Hasanat is a DGR-registered, ACNC-listed Australian charity whose donation platform had already launched — and was already taking real money from real donors. What it didn't have was a team that could keep it stable and keep it moving. We came in mid-flight, to an unfamiliar Next.js frontend on a Laravel API, with two constraints that pulled against each other: nothing on the donation path could break, and the roadmap was tied to a religious calendar that doesn't move — Zakat in Ramadan, Qurban before Eid al-Adha. Miss the window and the feature is worthless for a year.

We ran two tracks at once. The fix track went through the money path step by step — project data, frequency and amount selection, the donation cart, currency conversion, checkout and confirmation — and closed the bugs that were quietly costing completed donations. The feature track then built outward from a working core: a guided Zakat journey with the Sharia guide and calculator, a seasonal Qurban campaign with a live countdown and notify-me capture, gift donations that email a personalised PDF certificate, a filterable project catalogue by cause, region and urgency, unit-based giving that prices a donation as "1 water truck = A$30", monthly recurring alongside one-off, and a 7-currency switcher on live exchange rates for donors outside Australia. We held it on a retainer through the busy giving seasons, then documented the codebase and handed it back running.
