Project Solution

Xfive implemented the consultancy's designs by building static websites and CMS-backed platforms. They developed custom WordPress themes and web applications (including builds with Ruby on Rails and PHP), integrated JavaScript libraries to enable animations and scroll-triggered events, rendered SVGs, and applied plugin libraries as needed. Engagements typically began with a briefing using sketches and wireframes from the client team, after which Xfive handled development and delivered production-ready assets for client deployment.

Project Outcome

Clients reported high satisfaction with the quality and speed of delivery.
The client purchased packaged hours at a discounted rate and expanded work to multiple ongoing projects.
Xfive scaled resources as timelines increased, improving overall efficiency.
Effective project management and communication (Slack, Basecamp) enabled smooth collaboration and timely progress.
