User Feedback & Unexpected Insights
A major insight that shaped the project was the need for greater visibility into compliance statuses—not just in the UI but also at the database level. To support this, we had to restructure how data was stored to accommodate different views and ensure that information flowed efficiently to the UI. Our clients also requested white-labeled company portals, leading us to extend a theming system across UI pages to support custom branding for different organizations.
Future-Proofing & Scalability
We leveraged external frameworks like Ant Design for UI components to keep things scalable and cost-effective. This approach helped us maintain industry best practices and reduce development overhead for a startup working within constraints. At the same time, we built a flexible design foundation so future teams could expand and iterate without major rework.
