Project Summary

Virtualspirit designed and built a flagship progressive web app (PWA) for an ed-tech startup, delivering mockups and both front-end and back-end development. The vendor deployed the platform with an AWS server environment, helped launch a beta with a strong sign-up rate, and has been retained for ongoing maintenance; project management improved after initial communication issues.

Key Challenges

Lack of an in-house team to build the PWA
Need to build a robust flagship platform to support future features
Achieve strong user signup and positive feedback in beta

Project Deliverables

Design mocks and wireframes
Front-end and back-end systems for a PWA
Server environment setup in AWS
User acceptance testing (UAT) and bug fixes

Project Solution

The vendor designed, developed, configured, and launched both front-end and back-end systems for the client's PWA. Work began with understanding requirements and producing design mocks and wireframes, which were refined with client feedback before moving into development and UAT. After development and UAT, Virtualspirit helped set up the server environment in AWS. The project manager led a team of roughly five to six people divided across design, front-end, and back-end responsibilities.

Project Outcome

Launched beta platform with a strong sign-up rate
Third-party validation confirmed the platform was well built
Rapid post-launch fixes improved the user signup flow
Secured a 12-month maintenance contract
