Project Summary
TechAhead took over development of a tattoo-focused social networking app (Tattoo Planet), delivering mapping and live-messaging functions and assisting with launch on iOS while preparing Android work. Early adoption was strong with over 40 registered tattoo shops within a week. The client praised TechAhead’s UX skills, availability, and project management.
Key Challenges
- Replace an unsatisfactory previous development team to complete the app.
- Progress the app from an early incomplete state and implement mapping, messaging, scheduling, and consent workflows.
Project Deliverables
- iOS mobile app
- Mapping feature
- Live-messaging feature
- In-app consent form
- Scheduling and artist profiles
Project Solution
TechAhead took over and progressed the client's social networking app from roughly 5% to about 30% complete, assigning a small team (designer, backend developer, and app developer). They implemented mapping and live-messaging features, user profiles, scheduling, an in-app consent form, and supported the iOS launch while planning Android development. They worked with the client through frequent meetings and added resources as needed to meet deadlines.
Project Outcome
- Over 40 tattoo shops registered within a week of launch.
- Strong early interest from major tattoo shops and artists and positive user adoption indicators.
