Project Summary

Espeo Software designed and built an MVP news platform using JavaScript and React, implementing features, integrating payment gateways and connecting to publishers' CMS. The MVP was delivered on time and within budget, with a public beta launched within three months. The vendor worked in agile 1-week sprints, provided proactive communication, and performed automated and manual testing.

Key Challenges

  • Build an MVP quickly with low risk
  • Integrate smooth payments including direct carrier billing and credit card
  • Allow effortless content rebundling and a federated wallet-like experience without preloaded funds
  • Ensure easy integration with publishers' content management systems

Project Deliverables

  • Designs and wireframes
  • Front-end features (JavaScript/React)
  • Payment gateway integrations
  • CMS integration

A lead integrator and project manager supervised integration, with regular demos, backlog planning and ad hoc meetings to assure quality.

  • Public beta launched 3 months after publisher integration readiness
  • MVP built on time and within budget
