Project Description:
POP TikR is helping local businesses secure patronage! The pandemic showed that POP TikR is needed now more than ever! Businesses can sign-up through the POP TikR website, once vetted and approved as a legitimate business, the merchant will have access to The Merchant Portal where they can post deals/discounts to be redeemed by users/patrons who have downloaded the POP TikR app! POP TikR wanted to keep their overall layout, formatting, and styling but wanted added security and maintainability to their website.
To achieve this, POP TikR’s existing website needed a stack update…While(1s) to the rescue!
Our solution was recreating POP TikR’s website using Gatsby with React JS. Through an agile approach we started learning how to use Gatsby and the React JS language. Along the way we learned what did and did not work through trail and error. Our biggest challenge was recreated the CSS generated from the drag-and-drop platform WordPress over to React JS in Gatsby. We enjoyed learning how to use React components that represent HTML along with their associated stylings. Exposure to working agile in a team setting was great experience for us all.
Come meet with the While(1s) to hear about our POP TikR journey!!!
Short Description:
An updated website on a stronger and more secure stack will allow POP TikR to forge into the future helping local businesses sign-up to begin offering deals to attract patrons!
