Project Summary

Droids on Roids developed CultureSecrets' website and iOS application from mockups and provided best-practice advice. The long-term engagement (since Jan. 2015) produced a platform with tens of thousands of users and six major brands integrated. The teams work closely using Atlassian and routine sprints and meetings, and the vendor remains involved in future planning.

Need for web and app development to build the platform.

Project Deliverables

Entire website

Web app functionality (website functioning as a web app)
