Project Summary

Cubet is designing and developing a social network for the creative industry using the Laravel PHP framework and InVision for prototyping. The vendor handles design, development, and will manage app distribution. The client praises Cubet’s communication, cost-effectiveness, and commitment, noting regular progress updates and a strong working relationship. The engagement began in February 2015 and is ongoing.

Key Challenges

Needed design and full development for a social network targeting the creative industry
Initial UK-based developer failed to deliver, requiring Cubet to take over design, development, and distribution
Product not yet launched; client estimated about six to seven weeks to initial beta at the time of review
Progress experienced some delays, though the vendor remained transparent

Project Deliverables

Designed UI/UX for the social network
Web application developed with Laravel

Project Solution

Cubet produced UI/UX prototypes in InVision and translated client requirements into designs via iterative reviews with a head designer.

Communication with the client occurred primarily via Skype and WhatsApp.

Project Outcome

Cost-effective delivery and work completed on budget
