Project Summary

VeryCreatives designed and developed a Ruby on Rails website and backend database for an interval funds company to serve as a news source and to house financial information. The vendor handled UX design, backend implementation, and iterative delivery, working like an internal team. The client praised their professionalism, speed, and technical foresight, noting they required little hand-holding.

Key Challenges

Build a news-focused website with a CMS component
Implement a backend database to house financial information related to funds

Project Deliverables

Website with CMS
Backend database for financial/funds information
UX design and iterative design deliverables
Ruby on Rails-based implementation

Project Solution

VeryCreatives performed UX design and built the website and backend database; the site was implemented on Ruby on Rails. The vendor produced initial designs within about a week and iterated through weekly 45-minute meetings and UX collaboration tools. The engagement included a project manager, designer, co-founder involvement, two developers and additional team members who executed the technical work.

Project Outcome

Website was delivered but has not yet produced measurable impact on success metrics
Vendor acted like an internal team: professional, fast, and required limited client tweaking
Technical foresight reduced the client's need to define every task

Quality of Deliverables

“The website was delivered as required, and the VeryCreatives team worked as if they were a part of the company’s internal team. They thought about the problems that could occur in the project in advance and resolved such problems while delivering the website that the company needed and expected.”
