Our Development Process
At Akkenna, we employ a careful and organized approach to ensure our web application platform achieves the best in
functionality, design, and user satisfaction. This is a comprehensive outline of our process
Requirement Gathering
We kick off the process by gathering thorough details about user needs. This includes in-depth conversations with stakeholders to understand their goals, preferences, and aims. Our goal is to document every aspect to ensure the final product truly reflects your vision.
UI/UX Design
Our design team utilizes Figma to develop clear and attractive UI/UX designs. We focus on crafting a user experience that is both engaging and easy to navigate. Prototypes and wireframes are shared with stakeholders for input and approval.
Static Website Development
After the design receives approval, we move on to building a static website. This stage involves converting the UI/UX designs into a working static site, making sure that the layout and visual elements are accurately represented.
API Development
We created a specialized API to generate personalized birth charts. To enable smooth interactions, we developed the Connecting Astrologers API, allowing calls and chats between astrologers and clients.
Dynamic Website Transformation
We transform the static website into a dynamic web application after integrating the required APIs. This step includes adding server-side functions, establishing database links, and enabling real-time data processing to improve user engagement and performance.
