Project Summary

An education-software provider (AppShed) engaged Ekreative as a long-term development partner to build and maintain their external-facing apps. Over nine years Ekreative delivered an AJAX-responsive frontend, API integrations (including IoT), payment integrations, caching for offline use, and UI/UX work to make the products app-store ready. The client praised Ekreative's communication, on-time delivery, and ability to manage developer turnover while maintaining productivity and trust.
