Project Description
The Challenge
Our Client who is the only internet-based company in USA helping customers for end-to-end management of Architectural Review Requests, wanted to revamp its entire web application and marketing website to improve User Experience (UX), make it intuitive and easy to use, helping Homeowners, Architectural Review Committees, and Property Managers make the review process faster, easier, and safer. Built using older technology/ frameworks the application was lacking latest web standards and user friendliness making it difficult to navigate. AppYug’s challenge was to develop a web application with latest and robust web technologies that not only meet but exceed client’s expectations.
