#How the Podrywacze.pl adult social network was built on WordPress

Podrywacze.pl is a key project in my WordPress developer portfolio. Between 2005 and 2015, it was the largest Polish social network focused on erotic content, combining social networking functions with a rich multimedia database. The platform attracted thousands of users thanks to its interactive features and exclusive content. My task was to create a modern, responsive WordPress site, optimised for performance, security, and SEO using the technologies available in 2015.

#Who Podrywacze.pl was for and what the site had to do

The main goal of Podrywacze.pl was to provide a platform for adult users interested in erotic content. The site enabled the publication of content, interactions (comments, ratings, messaging) and access to multimedia, creating a space for both amateurs and professionals. Its audience consisted of adult Poles looking for entertainment and inspiration.
