What we did
At CeeGees, we had the privilege of collaborating with NTUC to bring the KidzMatters vision to life. Our team worked diligently to design and build both the KidzMatters website and its accompanying mobile application, leveraging cutting-edge technology and user-centric design principles. Here’s a breakdown of the technologies and methodologies that powered this project:
Content Management with WordPress
We selected WordPress as the Content Management System (CMS) for KidzMatters. WordPress’s versatility allowed us to dynamically manage and update content for a variety of article types. This flexibility ensures that KidzMatters remains fresh and relevant, providing users with up-to-date information.
Modern Front-End with ReactJS
The website’s front-end was built using ReactJS, a powerful open-source JavaScript library. ReactJS enabled us to create an intuitive, responsive, and interactive user interface, ensuring a seamless browsing experience for users across devices.
Robust Back-End with Express and Node.js
To handle the website’s back-end processes, we utilized Express, a Node.js framework. This combination provided a solid foundation for the website’s functionality, including data retrieval, user authentication, and dynamic content delivery.
Mobile Application with React Native
Recognizing the importance of mobility, we developed the KidzMatters mobile application using React Native. This framework allowed us to create a cross-platform application that delivers a native-like experience on both iOS and Android devices, ensuring accessibility and convenience for users on the go.
