Project Summary

Deligence built a full-scale online boat-rental platform for a waterway vehicle rental agency, performing CMS research and end-to-end design and development using MeteorJS. They recommended a custom Node.js + MongoDB solution instead of Joomla!, improved loading speed, and delivered an administrable site. The engagement is ongoing; the client is satisfied with the foundation laid and praises clear communication and an accessible project manager, though milestone estimates required occasional adjustment.

Key Challenges

Build a fully online boat-rental marketplace allowing boat owners to list their boats
Lack of in-house development expertise (only graphic designers available)
Need to control costs and choose a maintainable technical solution

Project Deliverables

Complete online boat rental platform
CMS research and recommendations
Custom web application built with Node.js, MongoDB and MeteorJS
Admin/dashboard for easy site administration

Project Solution

Deligence delivered end-to-end web development services: they researched CMS options, designed the site, and developed a custom web platform built from scratch using Node.js with MongoDB on the MeteorJS framework (rather than the client's initial Joomla! preference). They provided project management, advised on feature prioritization to control costs, implemented an administrable dashboard, and optimized loading speed. The engagement remains ongoing with continued feature improvements and fixes.

Project Outcome

The client is satisfied and believes Deligence created a solid foundation for the business
The platform is still in development and has no users yet
Improved project management and communication (dedicated PM, use of Teamwork, Skype, and timely responses)
