Our Development Approach:

‍Our approach was to use the power of Mendix native functionality to deliver a responsive web application that also gives mobile users a mobile application experience whilst adhering to Mendix best practices. Separating code into relevant modules ensures we keep the code base clean and manageable. We created a custom styling module to ensure that any custom styling can be exported to any other application for the client. We made custom templates and menus inheriting from the native Atlas UI components for the mobile-specific pages. We made a simple workflow-like process, along with the built-in role-based access, to ensure users can access the data accordingly based on the different statuses of a request, simplifying the back end and screen design for this feature.

Our UI Approach:

Our UI approach for this project prioritised speed and efficiency. Given the tight one-month timeline, we primarily leveraged Mendix's out-of-the-box AtlasUI components and layouts to rapidly construct the application's interface. While this approach expedited development, it also limited the level of customisation we could achieve. However, using pre-built components ensured a consistent and functional user experience throughout the app. We incorporated custom CSS to fine-tune specific elements to align the app's appearance with the client's visual identity. We ensured adherence to the company's corporate identity, achieving the desired look and feel of the brand. company's corporate identity, achieving the desired look and feel of the brand.
