THE SOLUTION
The end result was a fresh take on the popular service, providing a clear and functional experience for the user whilst browsing/watching the content library on demand and streaming live TV.
We're particularly proud of the modern interface we created which is easy to navigate and also the efficient way we found to render a large amount of content that we knew would please the end user.
By turning these apps around quickly, AlfaSage were able to showcase their data to potential clients in a timely fashion - an essential benefit to any startup.
"The AlfaSage team were highly responsive to suggestions and were willing to try new things so that together we could create the perfect experience for the end user" - William Alexander, Green Custard
