Project Summary

Umbrella IT built a web application that combines encyclopedia features with a social network to enable museums to publish long, media-rich exhibits with instant section loading. The client provided wireframes and mockups while Umbrella IT implemented the platform using Symfony and Vue.js. The platform has completed testing and is in the marketing/launch phase, with favorable early feedback and strong project management throughout the engagement.

Key Challenges

Museums lacked the ability or funding to create online exhibits
The client needed a development partner to build a web app for a startup to bring museums online

Project Deliverables

Web application (exhibit platform)
Frontend using Vue.js with lazy loading for exhibit sections
Backend built on Symfony (PHP)

Project Solution

The vendor built the application from the client's wireframes and mockups, implementing a social-network-style platform with encyclopedia-like living documents. The backend was developed on a Symfony (PHP) platform and the frontend used Vue.js to enable lazy loading and instant navigation to specific sections of long exhibits. Umbrella IT implemented the described features, collaborated with the client on requirements, and provided project management throughout the engagement.

Project Outcome

Launching now and currently in the marketing stage
Received favorable feedback from initial users and colleagues
Consistently strong project management with responsive PMs and adherence to deadlines
