Church.ai
Explore our case study detailing the development of event management system for Church.ai.
What problem did the client have?
The client faced an issue with an old and badly designed event management system. They needed a redesign and a fresh code rewrite of the current event management software that they created themselves. At the same time they needed advice and decision making on the best practices, technologies and design of the software.

Weekly syncs, discussions, planning, ideation, design, development, project management
The project followed a well-defined process, beginning with a thorough analysis of the client's requirements and multiple live meetings. We conducted collaborative planning sessions to align our understanding with the client's vision. The development process involved iterative cycles, ensuring regular client feedback and adjustments to meet evolving needs.
Technology
Web development
The technologies employed in the project include JavaScript, React.js, Node.js, Firebase, and Material-UI. JavaScript served as the foundational language for both front-end and back-end development. React.js facilitated the creation of a responsive and interactive user interface, while Node.js powered the server-side operations. Firebase was utilized for real-time database management and hosting, ensuring a scalable and efficient backend. Material-UI was chosen for its design components, enhancing the overall aesthetics and user experience of the application. This tech stack was carefully selected to provide a cutting-edge and sustainable solution for the client's needs.
UX/UI Design
We overhauled the administration panel for event management. We were discussing and showing our progress on a weekly basis, and we ran sync calls to plan, consult, and sketch the functionalities and changes that had to be made.
