Our client has a platform for creative and kind kids from across the globe. The platform is designed to help empower kids and build confidence, social skills, emotional skills & leadership via creative methods.

The platform works with the basic idea that all kids are creative geniuses and they just need a little guidance to become valuable and confident adults in society.

Our client’s platform has ever-changing needs. When we were contacted by the client, they were looking for a reliable solutions partner who would update and then enhance their web and mobile app to deliver even better results for the kids. 

Their key goals were:

1. Updating their app (on the web and then consequently the mobile versions too).
2. Adding more features to make the platform even better.

At the time of getting in touch with us, our client was struggling with a disrupted CI/CD pipeline. This was hindering their progress by preventing any code from being pushed. Further, they were at a loss of technical expertise and required a team of goal-oriented product engineers who could enhance their product for the 

kids while making sure the essence of the platform remained intact.

To help our client update their current platform and add more functionalities, we suggested a phase-based approach. 

In the 1st phase:

• We started by fixing their CI/CD pipeline, which ensured that the new code that we wrote for the client can be pushed to the web app, and then ultimately the mobile app.
• We updated the current front end which was looking outdated and unappealing for their target audience (kids and their guardians). As a part of the frontend revamp, we:

• Created unique animations for the site.
• Created mockups of the user interface (UI). 
• Designed the user experience (UX) based on approved mockups.
• We integrated the Agora Chat API into their Squarespace website. This facilitated online chatting between the kids using the platform. 
• The platform previously had login options for only the kids and their guardians (which was to let guardians monitor and access their kid’s accounts). To expand the scope of the platform, we created login functionality for Schools as well as our platform’s partners (like Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and more). With that, schools and partners can post fun challenges for the kids. This is engaging for the kids and a way of creating awareness and popularity for the partners and schools. We took care of the complete dashboard design and development for the Schools and Partners.

Once the testing and deployment for Phase 1 are finished, the 2nd phase of our engagement will commence. It includes:

• Implementing all the changes that were done in Phase 1 for the web version to the mobile app. 
• The chat functionality for kids and the login dashboard for Schools and Partners will be brought to the cross-platform mobile app. This will have to be done without disturbing any existing app functionality.
• We will also be revamping the mobile app front-end to meet the new, and modernized web front-end.
