FASHOM is basically a social platform that celebrates the everyday self-expression and unedited unique styles of real people around the world.

Fashom promotes socialization of everyday fashion from people, providing a forum for users of the app to post images of their own unique style.

Strategy & Solution
Keeping the business prospects in mind we proposed a simple UI presentation. Also, we had to make web-services to connect mobile apps to database and users will get real-time updates. From the backend section admin required functionality to manage users, gallery, contents, pages and even more. The website also has blog feature which is admin manageable and online chat feature for all users.

Most important issue in website creation is 'readability'. Readability refers to the practice of delivering the write up in a way that enhances ease of reading. While creating a website, we focused on making it readable for all users, regardless of their backgrounds and age groups.

They are focused on developing a responsive site with high speed performance. The website contained database which is constantly updating and changing. In backend we worked on:-

  • MS SQL Server for maintaining data
  • XHTML/AJAX is used for front end design
  • Maintain Content Management System
  • Worked on accessibility and security compliance
  • Build reusable code and libraries for future use

Development Process To build visually appealing and user-friendly platform, our developers utilized the HTML/ JavaScript and AJAX. With proficient expertise and knowledge, they developed a platform with high performance characteristics, customized options, enhanced catalog and content management features.
