Project Solution

Stfalcon was fully responsible for building the web platform and native mobile applications from scratch based on the client's concept. They developed, tested, and continue to maintain the website and iOS/Android apps, implemented secure access controls so only photographers and photo subjects can view images, added watermarking to prevent downloads, and built e-commerce payment flows supporting PayPal and credit-card purchases. The team developed the backend using Symfony2 (PHP) and created an additional Windows server component required for some users to access photos.

Project Outcome

More than 10,000 photographers registered on the free application
300 photographers registered in the paid directory
Improved transparency and strong project management enabling client oversight and task creation
