Client

Sapphire Studios

Los Angeles, United States of America

Project Summary

Citrusbug Technolabs developed web portal integrations for Sapphire Studios, building the site using Django, designing the interface, and adding a chatbox. Over two years they delivered MVP features and were communicative and responsive via Slack and Jira, offering cost-efficient development. The client noted the team delivered timely MVPs but sometimes did not design for scale, requiring additional effort when moving to production.

Key Challenges

Launch MVP versions of features for the client's web portal.
Support campaign management workflows on the platform.

Project Deliverables

Web portal built on Django
Chatbox feature
Interface design
MVP feature modules

Project Solution

The vendor was selected via Upwork and paid code tests for their results, price point, and communication. They developed modular features using Django under the client's lead developer, receiving tickets via Jira and building features that could be plugged into the portal (for example, chat). The vendor team included a lead developer, a junior developer, and an occasional designer.

Project Outcome

Worked with the vendor for two years and delivered MVP features successfully.
Completed tasks in a timely manner and maintained strong communication.
Some implementations lacked scalability and required trial and error during production deployments.
