Planning
Taking into consideration the requirements of our client, our developers planned out a well-defined strategy for implementation of this project. Our developers adopted the standard MVC approach to effectively develop the web application for leads traded management.
Presentation Layer or View: It represents the graphical user interface that allows for client interaction with the application.
Data Storage Layer or Model: It enables for efficient data access, storage and management with the help of database.
Business Logic Layer or Controller: This is responsible for controlling of the functionality of the website.
Client required to develop an attractive web application which can give amaizing user experiences as well as should be capable of handling millions of data or huge amount of data efficiently without effecting the performance. Hence, our developers planned to the database and the popular AngularJS technology for the project.
Architecture
The Symfony and AngularJS form the basis of this leads marketplace development for our client’s requirements. The project was successfully executed on the basis of Symfony MVC architecture as shown below.
Highlights
The highlight of this leads management marketplace was the wise implementation of the MongoDB and AngularJS technologies which helped our developers to well meet the intent needs of huge data management and better UX and UI design of this project. Our aim was to provide advanced web solution to our client and hence, implemented the latest Symfony framework and web development tools here. Every single element of the project was built by taking care of their loading and performance time and then only wisely chosen. We implemented the system that can track every process of the application when under processing stage and can alert the admin if there is any malfunctioning happening in the application.
