Project Summary

Startup Development House rebranded and rebuilt the frontend of a startup job platform, improving UI/UX, page load speeds, and overall design. The vendor provided design files and frontend development (React/JS) while collaborating via Slack, Envision, and Trello. Following the update, the platform experienced strong user growth and longer session durations.
