Web UI for TPLink switches

Business Challenge

The company produces its own telecommunications software solutions and hardware products, including switches. The customer was on the search for the reliable supplier who had an available front-end developer to create web interface for configuring TPLink routers from scratch. The main desire of the client was to make such UI that users were as simple, comfortable and intuitive to use it as possible.

Our Solution

Chudovo OÜ has developed an easy-to-use web UI for users to provide hardware integration by themselves. This project considered implementation of the UI based on specifications and graphic web interface design provided by the client. The color / color scheme combination was also clearly outlined by the customer for his telecom software solution. The client has provided his vision of the future UI for switches configuration and gave basic mock-ups for the desired interface.

The software engineer from Chudovo development team сommunicated closely with the customer’s IT department to be able to clarify any occuring questions about telecommunications application software in time-saving manner. He gradually developed page by page, conducted detailled demos with demonstration of already implemented parts to showcase the results to the client, in case of necessity made changes on request based on the feedback from the demo. The engineer also made some propositions for the UI/UX based on his practucal experience on previous similar projects. All elements of the UI were clearly designed and developed, as they had to be displayed harmoniously, to have a restrained style and be understandable.

Among the main tasks that were executed by the front-end developer while working on network device management software are:

• Development of all UI
• Taking part in UI/UX proposals and decisions
• Performing unit tests
• Writing technical documentation
• Communication with the customer
