Project Summary

Startup Development House built Maindeck’s web-based shipyard platform using Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL, focusing on a user-friendly UX and shipyard profile management. The vendor upgraded initial sketches into a stronger visual design and delivered the site on a tight schedule for an exhibition. The platform has been well adopted by shipyards and earned consistently positive feedback for design and project management.

Key Challenges

Need to develop a professional website to attract shipyards
Deliver the project within budget constraints
Lack of in-house technical expertise and high expectations from demanding clients

Project Deliverables

Web-based shipyard platform
Shipyard registration and profile management
Database of companies and shipyard profiles (PostgreSQL)
Upgraded UI/UX and list-view interfaces
Login functionality for shipyards

Project Solution

The vendor designed and developed a web-based shipyard database and listing platform. They implemented shipyard registration and profile management features (including certificates, locations, and media), built a PostgreSQL-backed database, and overhauled the UI/UX based on the client’s sketches. The team delivered functionality on a tight timeline to meet an exhibition deadline and supported subsequent iterations and testing.

Project Outcome

Increased shipyard registrations and inbound engagement
Positive user feedback and adoption from shipyards
Timely delivery and rapid development iterations (met exhibition deadline)
