Project Summary

A skincare, makeup and personal-care app hired DianApps to take over its MVP and website development after previous vendors failed to provide adequate support. DianApps reviewed the existing codebase, recovered disorganized project information, implemented improvements and bug fixes, and produced Phase 1 deliverables to prepare the app for launch. They also resolved website integrity and security issues, assisted with claiming unused AWS credits to reduce costs, and provide ongoing maintenance and testing.
