About company

  1. Demining support – providing equipment and training for deminers working under international standards.
  2. Frontline assistance – delivering protective gear and supplies to enhance the safety of Ukrainian defenders.
  3. Medical aid – supplying essential medical equipment to healthcare professionals near the frontlines.

Mriya Aid operates in partnership with local and international institutions to ensure transparent and effective delivery of support.

Project goal

About project

Challenges

1

Legacy System Migration: The client was restricted by an unscalable, old platform that hindered content updates and growth.

2

High-Level Security: Given the geopolitical context, the infrastructure required robust protection against external cyber threats and DDoS attacks.

3

Content Management Autonomy: The non-technical team needed a flexible system to independently publish reports, news and media without developer intervention.

4

Mobile Experience: The site needed a specific UX design for mobile users, not just simple responsiveness.

5

Need for High Credibility: The design had to look professional enough to satisfy government partners and grant issuers.

Our process for the Full-Cycle Website Development

We approached this project with a Full-Cycle Development strategy. Since the client already had a clear vision of the content structure, we moved directly into a high-fidelity design phase.

We moved beyond standard responsiveness. Our design team created distinct high-fidelity prototypes for both web and mobile interfaces. We focused on Mobile-Specific UX, ensuring that navigation and donation flows were intuitive for smartphone users, while maintaining a prestigious, institutional look for desktop visitors to build trust with government partners.

Our Development Phase prioritized scalability and modularity.

Frontend:
We utilized React to build a dynamic, fast-loading interface with component-based architecture for smooth user interactions.

Backend:
We engineered a robust PHP-based backend integrated with a custom CMS. This architecture allows Mriya Aid to manage content autonomously without touching the codebase.

Security was paramount for our client, therefore we implemented strict CI/CD pipelines (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) via GitLab to automate updates and minimize human error.

The QA team performed comprehensive testing – covering functionality, usability, and security.

After validation, the site was deployed to production, ensuring a seamless launch experience for users and administrators.

Key features

Secure Donation Gateway

A streamlined, secure integration with external payment systems, allowing users to contribute via direct links or embedded forms with minimal friction.

Custom Admin Panel

We engineered a tailored CMS using Filament, granting the client full control to edit text, manage media resources, and publish blog posts in real-time.

Mobile-First Architecture

Unlike standard responsive sites, we designed a specific User Experience for mobile users to ensure navigation and donation functions are intuitive on smaller screens.

Resource & Media Hub

A dynamic content module designed to showcase video reports, conference participation, and press releases to maintain public accountability.

Results

Successful Digital Migration

We fully developed and launched the new website, successfully replacing the outdated platform with a modern, stable web solution that aligns with the organization's mission.

Full Content Autonomy

By implementing a custom admin panel (powered by Filament), the Mriya Aid team gained complete control over updating information, reports, and media without requiring developer intervention.

Enhanced Credibility and Trust

The new professional online presence significantly strengthened the organization's reputation, which is critical for collaborating with government structures and securing international funding.

Secure and Scalable Infrastructure

We engineered a protected and flexible technical environment, ready to handle high traffic loads and easily integrate new features in the future.

“We offer custom menswear with online and offline showrooms in Singapore and the UK. People sign up online, come into the showroom, and are measured. We then have their measurement profiles so they can go and reorder online when necessary.

Initially, we had a booking tool that was relatively basic. Together with Soloway, we overhauled the booking tool, making it a lot more flexible and useful to our needs. In the end, we started with the development of an entire order management system that administers measurements and tracks orders along the process. Soloway’s streamlining of the booking system nearly eliminated customer service calls, reducing staffing needs. Their intuitive project management system allowed for an easy flow of information. Soloway was an honest and transparent development partner.”
