Project Summary
An online media company (newonce) hired EL Passion to unify separate services into a single coherent product by redesigning UX/UI and developing custom software. EL Passion ran discovery workshops, performed UX research and testing, built a connected ecosystem (backoffice and user database), integrated external APIs, migrated large volumes of content, and delivered hybrid mobile apps and a web client. The engagement used Scrum with two-week sprints and resulted in successful launches and continued collaboration.
