Our philosophy for the business is , we never work for the client but we work WITH the client. Once we initiate the project, client becomes an integral part of our team, and can suggest and share his opinions about the ongoing project, without any hassle. Along with this we have a separate team of 4 to 5 people who are only into feedbacks and reviews. We have a separate team, which interacts with clients apart from the development team.

15. Mention the name of some of your successful projects?
For this I would like to name the app ‘StyleMatch, since it is world’s first fully interactive fashion styling and shopping App, which features more than 6000 brands and has a huge database with no clustered look. Our client brought a unique concept of being big, bold and different in online fashion, he wanted to make the fashion easily accessible to customers but with a curve line of contentment on their lips. He wanted to create a website and a mobile app with a never-before- tried concept; Virtual Change Room’, which would support the consumers to TRY-ON items to see how they look before making a purchase. Our team of designers unfolded the epic saga of imagination into their coding structure while keeping the client’s requirement into the top consideration. The provided database was modified to make the app and website compatible and convenient. App and website were developed to support the hosting of the client’s concept of “Virtual Change Room”. Our team made it possible for the users to digitize their closet, create outfits, shop and share with friends, which brought the on-paper concept into seeing is believing feature through the app and the website. Our designers re-developed the app for version II. The second generation was a major overhaul in terms of functionality, features, supported iOS, and user interface design.
The Style Match App and website has garnered the maximum user’s attention and today this brand is a leading fashion brand in Australia. It is also the world’s first fully interactive fashion styling and shopping App, with a vision is to become the world’s biggest fashion community – a place where customers can search, shop, swap, sell and interact with all things fashion related anytime, anywhere. The app is performing better than the previous build, and there have been zero bugs since launching. The app was developed and released within tight deadlines, helping the client reach out to the consumers in a fashionable manner.
