Challenges and Solutions
Challenge 1
Implementing a high-performance, visually appealing UI that matches the luxury brand image
Solution:
We utilized Material UI components customized with SASS to create a bespoke, high-end look while maintaining excellent performance. We also implemented lazy loading and image optimization techniques to ensure fast loading of high-resolution property images.
Challenge 2
Managing complex state across the application, especially for search filters and booking processes
Solution:
We implemented Redux Toolkit for efficient state management, allowing us to handle complex application state with ease. This resulted in a smoother user experience, particularly in the property search and booking flows.
Challenge 3
Integrating Google Maps for interactive property exploration while maintaining performance
Solution:
We optimized the Google Maps integration by implementing clustering for property markers and lazy loading map data based on the user's viewport. This significantly improved the performance of the map-based exploration feature.
Our Role and Responsibilities
- Architecting the frontend structure using Next.js and TypeScript
- Implementing responsive design with Material UI and custom SASS
- Integrating Redux Toolkit for state management
- Coordinating with the backend team for API integration
