Project Summary

Squash Apps built a new website for Neighborli, an early-stage community-improvement startup, using a MERN prototype as the basis. They provided both frontend and backend development, ran evening stand-ups to collect feedback, and assisted with launch and hosting. The engagement ran from July to October 2018, cost about $5,000, and is currently on hiatus while the founder focuses on teaching. The client praised the team's communication, responsiveness, and technical guidance.

Key Challenges

  • Founder lacked technical experience to build a production website.
  • Needed a platform to help students connect more with their community.

Project Deliverables

  • New website
  • Frontend and backend development
  • Launched site and configured hosting servers

Project Solution

The vendor used a MERN prototype provided by the client as the basis to build a new website from scratch. They delivered frontend and backend development, ran evening stand-ups to gather client feedback and implemented requested changes iteratively. After development, they assisted with launching the site and arranging hosting servers.

Project Outcome

  • Launched initial website though it is currently bare and not connected to the database.
  • Tested the site with small groups of students.
  • Strong communication and customer service; vendor was responsive and provided clear technical guidance.

Quality of Deliverables

Squash Apps built and launched our new website, but there's still a lot of work to do. Their team gives solid guidance on technical decisions to clients who don't have much experience. They keep things collaborative while working remotely, and they stay mindful of deadlines.
