ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Client:

Australian Community Media is a leading independent publication house from Australia specialising in rural press and offering various magazines and community newspapers to their readers.

To keep up with evolving consumer behaviour, they requested our help in building mobile apps for each of their publications so their audience can access their valuable content on mobile devices.

Challenge:

The challenges we've overcome during this project include:

Integrating information from multiple publications due to different data formats, content structures, and sources.
One major challenge consisted of flawlessly integrating diverse functionalities such as news articles, calendars, and podcasts into a cohesive user experience.
Creating a user interface that was intuitive, visually appealing, and accessible to users with varying levels of technical expertise.

Our solution:

To meet the client's requirements, we came up with a cutting-edge app development process based on a microservices architecture.

Leveraging this approach, we built 9 feature-rich mobile apps, each tailored to each specific publication.

The apps offered an array of functionalities, including podcasts, news articles, statistics, stocks, and calendars, suitable for any mobile device.

Calendars

The apps featured event calendars, providing users with information on upcoming agricultural events, industry conferences, and workshops.
