TruckSite
Location: USA
Industry: E-Commerce
Technology used: Azure, JQuery, Bootstrap, ASP.net MVC, Cloudflare, Salesforce
The truck sales website needed functionality improvements. We worked with design, made the interface more user-friendly, developed functions that help buyers quickly and conveniently get the information about goods and make a purchase. The website was developed on JQuery and used irrelevant technologies and approaches. .NET libraries were outdated for a long time and needed immediate updating.
We started the development process by updating the JS plugins on Frontend. This was the first requirement of the customer since due to the old ones, many errors and warnings appeared in the browser. Then we started integrating the Salesforce system with the customer's website. For the clients, we created a possibility of filling out an application for a loan, leasing directly on the website in the Financing section. Now it is possible to place an application and find out the decision on it within 20 minutes, without going to other sites. To increase the user's stay duration on the site, the following functions were implemented:
- displaying related products
- displaying previously selected products
- FAQ
- displaying google rating
- Google-captcha, etc.
The website was also redesigned using a new mock-up, HTML-layout, and UX/UA design.
The entire development process was targeted to create the most convenient conditions for the client's stay on the site so that they could get all the necessary information here and now and make a purchase decision.
Netips - social media website
Location: Israel
Industry: Social Network
Technologies used: C#, Angular Material, ASP.NET Core
Netips is a social media website that enables its users to exchange pieces of advice and recommendations about different events and things. Users share their opinions and experience by writing posts.
This website was built from scratch. We chose C# as a reliable language that enables creating complex projects within the shortest deadlines. We used such technologies as ASP .Net Core, Web API, and Rest API for backend development to ensure high-quality backend for this website. For Frontend, we chose Angular Material that is a great library to create a highly-functional and attractive website according to all the modern design principles. As it is a social network, we concentrated on appealing UI and seamless UX during the development.
We also implemented such functions available in all social media as:
- subscriptions
- comments
- sharing posts
- likes and dislikes
The development took nearly a year and after that time the customer received a user-friendly and efficient website that finally met all the high requirements. The growing and active audience of this social network shows that the website satisfies all their demands.
I-Valu8 - Web App for Education Industry
Location: Israel
Industry: Education
Technologies used: Angular, ASP.NET Core, Prime NG
I-Valu8 is an application targeted to Israeli teachers, which they use for creating unique characteristics about students. To simplify this process, the customer came up with an application that is a set of existing templates, characteristics that a teacher can use when writing reviews about a particular student.
The application was originally written in Angular. It was not feature-rich and needed improvements. For this, we used ASP .Net Core, Angular 8 with PrimeNG components. We also implemented a user registration system, the possibility to have forms saved in the database, decomposed into fields. The most important information was stored in JSON and our task was to transfer information from there to the database. For convenient payments, we integrated the ability to pay using PayPal.
This application solves a real problem teachers face every year. Instead of spending a lot of time writing reports manually, the customer offers a solution that allows you to automate and systematize this process. Thereby teachers get time and effort to spend on students and their development.
