We provide analytical insights for the employees on how the employers are meeting the needs and in short, the employee engagement and retention rate based on user ratings.

When I approached them it was a couple of UI UX designers. And once the designs got ready, we extended the contract to do the HTML part of the pages they designed. This is where an extra person got involved from their end.

They designed the prototypes for initial review within 2 weeks of time. Later with our feedback, they made changes.
