The client presented an existing software in production and aimed to revolutionize its functionality and overall appearance. Developed by the client's team from 2016 to 2019, the software accumulated valuable business data, including 2,000 customer records by August 2019. A decision was made to rewrite the codebase from scratch to accommodate new features, focusing on universality and scalability to support Art Connection's anticipated growth.
Analysis
- Identified low-quality code in the existing system.
- Proposed a complete rewrite, which was accepted by the client.
Development Plan
- Collaborated with the owners to outline new features and a UI/UX redesign.
- Provided ongoing support and maintenance throughout the development process.
Testing and Feedback
- Collected and implemented feedback from end-users during testing phases.
Implementation Support

The new Art Connection application, although still in production, offers:
