Project Summary

Cleveroad developed a public-facing website for a chat startup using a Node.JS, MySQL and jQuery stack. The engagement was delivered on a limited budget with a small team and managed via scrum with biweekly progress reports. The site launched in March 2016 and the client continues to work with Cleveroad on content and functionality expansion.

Key Challenges

Need a public-facing website that projects a high-tech image and sleek design
