Digital marketplace for fundraising

Project Overview

The platform was initially developed by another team with low performance and bugs. Our team had to set up an effective development process from scratch, enhance the software, and build new features simultaneously. So, what client together with our team made is:

Migrate from Linode cloud service to AWS

Since AWS provides more extensive support, the new solution has better performance while the team implements new features much faster.

Stripe payment system integration

We added the Stripe payment module and required policies in addition to core modifications.

Implement new design

We renewed the design of the platform according to specifics of the business and user preferences.

Maintain and enhance marketplace for end-users

Simplification of product management that’s resulted in a better customer experience.

Results

Our client received first-class developers, and cooperation between us continues today. But we have already achieved results that our client can feel in numbers: a 10% increase in sales and the number of users doubled.
