Project Summary

Casperon Technologies developed a web platform and iOS mobile app for a social marketplace (InstaCraze) that supports registration, item listings, search, and online payments. The vendor handled web and database design, built a backend (MongoDB and MySQL), a frontend using PHP/Node.js/HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and an admin interface. The client reported registrations, listings, and transactions during a soft launch and praised the vendor's availability and project management.
