Project Summary

Affle provided front‑end and back‑end development and initial graphic design for an iOS photo‑sharing startup based in Perth, Australia. The engagement began as an MVP/proof of concept and expanded through multiple scope extensions. The client kept development and future updates with Affle, but moved graphic design and UI work in‑house due to quality concerns.

Key Challenges

Develop a proof of concept / minimum viable product on a constrained budget
Deliver satisfactory graphic design and UI/UX remotely
Manage repeated scope expansions while keeping costs reasonable

Project Deliverables

Proof of concept / Minimum viable product (iOS)
iOS front-end and back-end code
Initial graphic design assets (later moved in-house)
Ongoing updates and maintenance

Project Solution

Affle handled graphic design as well as front-end and back-end development for the iOS application. The team produced the MVP and subsequent feature expansions; however, the client later brought graphic design and UI work in-house. All development work and communications were managed via project managers.

Project Outcome

Multiple scope extensions as the team trialed and enhanced the app
Reliable, timely development work with strong project management
Graphic design work was moved in-house due to client dissatisfaction

Quality of Deliverables

“Affle's graphic designs were not up to par and that part of the project had to be moved in-house. However, they performed high-quality and timely development work while keeping an open line of communication with project managers, and still hold responsibilities for future updates.”
