UX and Website Development for a Community Startup
The client
Mumslink is a professional and social networking platform connecting women with ideas and opportunities for their careers. Its users come from businesses, organisations and charities of every kind.
The challengeWhat the teams actually needed
A single-founder company with no technical background needed a full-stack service and guidance to go with it.
Challenge 01Which features matter
The key features of the product had to be identified before anything was built.
Challenge 02Wireframes through to launch
Wireframes, the user experience and a website in Ruby on Rails all fell inside the scope.
Challenge 03A non-technical client
The founder needed supporting through a development process she had no prior experience of.
What we did
Full-stack support for a single founder
Netguru concentrated on features that would earn their place and could be delivered within the proposed deadline, keeping the client closely involved and well advised.
Technical depth on tap
A full-stack service brought the technical expertise a one-person company does not have in-house.
UX that landed
The user experience drew good feedback from users and early adopters alike.
PM and QA on the team
A project manager kept the work moving and a quality assurance specialist held the standard at every iteration.
Used where it counts
The site is friendly and glitch-free, and is used by the UK’s Department for Education and by various returners’ programmes.
