A particular challenge in software development was the balancing act between maintaining the technological basis of the software, which with MooTools no longer corresponds to the latest state of the art in JavaScript frameworks, and the required extensive modernization and improvement in design and usability, while at the same time expanding functionality.
Redesign of the single-page application and optimization of usability
As a first step, our digital agency set about refreshing the design of the front-end application. In line with the brief, this was to be done in an evolutionary process, so the modernity regulator was not turned up all the way. The layout of the application was revised and the operation of individual elements optimized and redesigned. A second important point: improving usability and simplifying the user interface. Consistency was required here. Thanks to a new navigation bar, a different layout and explanatory interface animations, users of the web app can now find their way around intuitively and can thus realize their own design ideas more easily and quickly - with just a few clicks to a sense of achievement!
Challenge in software development: new features while retaining the existing framework
While retaining the existing JavaScript framework MooTools, our Internet agency was able to revise existing functions of the single-page application and integrate new programmed features: Those who struggle with free design can now choose from existing design templates and fill them with their own data in the web app. The changes can be followed in a live preview on the screen. A sheet navigator also ensures that you don't lose track of the designed labels in the application. The new print preview introduced by .FUF helps anyone who has had difficulties with accurate printing: Here, the app allows the finished print PDF to be optimally adapted to the label sheet by moving it.
Simple backend maintenance
Internet agency .FUF developed an easily accessible web admin tool for data maintenance in the backend. Design templates can be created, saved and maintained here, and important metadata such as the language can be stored. The connection and search integration to the company website is carried out smoothly via a daily data export.
The success: powerful online software for label printing
The free label software web app complements the broad product portfolio of the leading specialist for self-adhesive technology from Filderstadt near Stuttgart to create a powerful package. Together with the comprehensive label range, the company now offers its customers a modern and flexible solution for extensive organizational tasks with the revised online software.
The FUF conclusion of our internet agency
Thanks to the revision of the single-page application and the optimization of usability by our Internet agency, an easy-to-use web tool is now available that simplifies the online creation of labels with many new functions and is also fun to use. Our internet agency was able to quickly familiarize itself with the existing software based on the JavaScript framework and implement the new requirements together with the customer in an agile software development process within a short period of time. Thanks to the evolutionary revision, existing users of the web app did not have to change their familiar handling of the front-end application.
