The Goal/Challenge

The Goal with which Solis Creative contacted us was to keep providing an even better experience to the users of the app. One of the big issues that we faced was that there was no UI framework on the app. The app is being used in many different devices and the User Experience on all of the devices wasn’t the same. Worse - on some devices, users were facing some issues. The app experience was also different on different browsers.

Solution

The solution was to implement a UI Framework and to make the app fully responsive. The App has dynamic content (user driven) which means we are not sure what the final page will look like (how many characters/words will be there in a question, what is the length of biggest word in the question etc). The solution needs to take care of all of these different permutations and combinations. The App needs to work on all of the different and popular browsers and on the wide variety of mobile, laptop, and desktop devices.

Result

The result is, we have implemented Bootstrap 4 on the entire app. Bootstrap 4 is the best choice for this purpose. The app is now fully responsive and the Responsive app was published on 16th June 2018 and users are happy with the new app.

Note: The implementation of Responsive design was one of the 50+ different features that we have implemented on the site since Jan 2018 and we are continuing to provide more and more features and to provide better experience to the users day by day.

Client Review

We have worked with Deligence for the past 7 months to support and enhance an existing app, and they have done 3 releases for us. The app is based on Meteor deployed on Galaxy and using MongoDB. They quickly learned the app and were able to efficiently add features and fix bugs. Most recently they added a UI framework for multi-platform support including iPhone, iPad, and android devices. Their development and testing has been good, and we have appreciated that they provide implementation options and quick prototypes (shown in videos) to make sure the end result is what we are looking for. Importantly, their communication has also been good. We use git projects for issue tracking and feedback. - read more
