“Dino and his team of developers were a huge help on my project. They fixed minor bugs and helped code a customized form submission exactly to the look of the design I gave them. Ratri was very easy to work with and they were able to spot issues and fixed them in no time. Excellent communication and job well done! Will definitely be sending more work their way.”
– Michael Funk, Owner, Ski House Swap
Ski House Swap is a paid membership platform that allows skiers and snowboarders who own a home near a resort to exchange that home with homeowners in other locations. Members must already have either the Epic or Ikon seasonal ski pass as exchanges are only available at resorts that participate in one of the passes.
Cabaretti was originally hired to manage the user experience of this project as there was developer who initiated this project. It was originally designed by the client. As Cabaretti become more involved, we were able to demonstrate our expertise and take over the development as project managers.
We worked closely with the lead developer and the client to implement their requests with our own developer and design team. Our objective was to see that the development was completed in time for the 2019 ski season.
Our biggest challenge was to learn the code that was highly customized from the original developer and complete all objectives within his framework. We also had to work within the client’s vision to implement solutions that would achieve his objective, yet do them in a way that maintained a high degree of usability and intuitiveness.
The website was launched in Beta format for the 2019 ski season and the client has retained Cabaretti to do ongoing maintenance, upgrades and improvement. Though we are not involved in the marketing directly, we help to provide good user experiences, taking feedback from users and the client to make usability improvements.
The website continues to gain members on a steady basis and Cabaretti continually monitors progress and finds ways to make the website better. We have a close relationship with the client and are happy to work with him to make this project profitable.
