Journalist & Head of Development - Media Company

Background

Project summary:

Buildable designed and developed a cross-platform mobile application for a European weekly media company. The team built the iOS and Android app in Flutter, replacing the publication's previous app with one fast enough to carry its written articles and video interviews.

About the client:

The client is a weekly media outlet with a website and mobile app. As a small company without an internal development team, it needed a partner to take a broad product idea and turn it into a working design and build.

Opportunity / Challenge

A functional, quick mobile app is core to how a media company reaches readers. The client's existing app could only display articles and had grown slow, so the new build needed instant article loads and strong video support.

Solution

Buildable refined the client's ideas into a full app design over about four months, then executed the build in Flutter for iOS and Android. The working team included a project coordinator, a frontend designer, and a backend developer, with weekly video check-ins throughout the engagement from January 2023 to April 2024.

Results & Feedback

Buildable delivered an app the client describes as extremely quick, with articles opening instantly and a video auto-play function that worked great. The project met its planned budget, and the team adapted as the client's internal needs evolved during the build.
