Project Summary
GLOBALDEV (formerly Steelkiwi) prototyped a from-scratch online platform to help users compare, rate, and book local catering options. The initial platform version includes professional functionalities and a compelling UX/UI design that both end-users and backend engineers can navigate easily. The vendor built the website's design and development and implemented features such as ratings and reviews, booking flows, and Braintree payment integration.
Key Challenges
- Simplify the effort of searching for local caterers and comparing them
- Enable users to book catering services directly through the platform using ratings and reviews for decision-making
Project Deliverables
- Prototype web platform
- User ratings and reviews functionality
- Booking system with graphic menus and date inputs
- Braintree payment integration
- Backend management interface
Project Solution
The vendor built the website from scratch, covering both design and development. Core features implemented included user-generated ratings and reviews, a booking flow with graphic menus and date inputs, and integration with the Braintree payment solution. A small development team (3–4 developers) built the system using Python. The client provided specifications and validated them while the vendor handled implementation.
Project Outcome
- Features work nicely for both users and backend management
- Client satisfied with the platform's basic functionalities
- Professional project management with weekly documentation updates and Slack as the primary communication tool
