Design System

Our design team developed the design system for the BridgeX platform from scratch. We created all the necessary elements for the platform (icons, headings, dropdowns, inputs, etc.) For the primary color of the platform, we chose green, which symbolizes success, purity and reliability. We chose an orange color that goes well with green for accent elements.

Features

01. Onboarding

Onboarding for new users begins with a small questionnaire where they should talk about their business idea, describe their motivation, the amount of time spent forming the concept, etc. This onboarding helps users get started with the platform and use it to the maximum.

02. Questionnaire for entrepreneurs

We created this questionnaire, which consists of several stages so that platform users (beginning entrepreneurs) can tell as much as possible about their business and its main idea. After the questionnaire is filled out, all answers are transferred to a mentor who can study information about the business and subsequently help entrepreneurs develop it.

03. Personal profile

For each of the personas, we created personal profiles through which they can use the BridgeX tool. Personas can view their dashboards, view statistics, reply/view answers, etc., using their personal accounts.

04. Mentor dashboard

The mentors’ dashboard displays the number of users they mentor, the industries in which entrepreneurs work, statistics of active and inactive users, and statistics of the increase in the number of users every month.

With the help of the dashboard, mentors can view the answers to the questions given by their users and add their comments/advice/thoughts to them.

05. User dashboard

On the dashboard, users can see the progress chart of the questionnaire they filled out. The progress is divided into steps that the user should go through to get their personal mentor. The dashboard also has a project time frame and an ideation panel.

06. Calendar

In order to make it convenient for users to choose a project time frame (start date and due date), we added a special calendar to the platform, opening which users can quickly select the dates they need.

07. Subscriptions

The BridgeX platform works on a subscription basis. In order to get a personal mentor and start developing your business, the user should buy a subscription. We developed 2 types of subscriptions. The first one allows users to use the platform, and the second one allows them to get a personal mentor.

08. Payment system

We added a payment system to the platform that allows users to pay for BridgeX tool subscriptions.

Development & QA

ReactJs

Nodejs

For the development of BridgeX, we leveraged cutting-edge technologies to create a robust and responsive platform. Front-end development was powered by React.js, known for its versatility and performance in crafting intuitive user interfaces. On the back end, Node.js provided a reliable and scalable foundation, enabling seamless data processing and efficient communication between the server and client.

Employing Agile methodology, we facilitated close collaboration, quick adaptability, and incremental updates in response to evolving requirements. Quality assurance played a pivotal role, encompassing unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing. This rigorous QA process ensured BridgeX’s stability, reliability, and a feature-rich experience upon launch.
