Car.co.uk Gets Huge Boost With Interface Upgrade and Multiple New Features
Challenge
A website aiming to help motorists find attractive deals on new and used cars, car lease, insurance, loans, warranties and much more with just a few clicks has to constantly improve user experience and embrace mobile technology amid growing competition. The client asked our team to expand the website’s functionality, modernize its interface and provide advice on whether it should choose native or cross-platform development for its future mobile apps. We took on the following challenges: ● Make the client’s web app more functional by adding many new features and ensure easy navigation between pages. ●Pick the proper tech stack for frontend and backend development. ●Describe the pros and cons of native app development and cross-platform frameworks, and help the client choose the right tools for building Android and iOS apps. ●Implement testing on desktop and mobile browsers.
