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)
