S3 + CDN

Built custom WordPress plugin functionality for audio playback, listening history, S3/CDN delivery, and Elementor widget sliders inside a client-owned platform.

Buyer-facing summary

Client problem

The platform needed custom audio playback behavior, listening history, and external media delivery inside WordPress.

What I delivered

I built plugin functionality for the audio player, listening history, S3/CDN media handling, and custom Elementor widget sliders.

Business result

The client could run a more product-like audio experience inside WordPress instead of relying on generic media embeds.

Problem

AudioMazes needed custom audio behavior inside WordPress: playback, listening history, external media storage, and layout support through Elementor.

That mix needed plugin-level architecture rather than a few embedded audio files placed into pages.

The project is private/not live for public inspection where client approval is not available.

The implementation had to fit inside a WordPress and Elementor-based workflow.

What I built

Custom audio player behavior

Built plugin functionality around audio playback needs that standard WordPress media handling would not cover cleanly.

Listening history

Tracked user listening activity so the platform could behave more like an audio product than a static content archive.

S3/CDN media delivery

Handled audio files through S3 and CDN-style delivery so media serving did not depend only on the WordPress origin.

Elementor widget sliders

Built custom Elementor widget slider behavior to support the required layout while preserving plugin-controlled functionality.

Technical decisions

Player behavior, listening history, and media delivery had to stay connected even though the layout layer used Elementor.

S3/CDN delivery helped keep heavy audio files away from the WordPress origin server.

The core challenge was making plugin logic and Elementor-driven presentation work together without losing maintainability.

Media-heavy WordPress work benefits from moving delivery responsibilities out of the CMS whenever the project requires it.

Outcome

The platform gained custom audio product behavior inside WordPress.

The project is strong proof of WordPress media plugin work, S3/CDN usage, user activity tracking, and Elementor customization.

What I would improve

For future iterations, I would separate media-domain logic from layout concerns even more aggressively.

That keeps widget work from becoming the place where core product behavior hides.

Next step

If you need similar work, let’s talk through the constraints first.

The useful part of a project like this usually starts before code: understanding what the CMS should own, what should live in a backend service, and where integrations or automation can stay maintainable.
