While working on Berry....

Before making Berry - we have made a pre-plan that makes sense for our final product. We are continuously on track to overcome the pain points of our users. For that we have made lots of iteration processes with agile methodology.

Design Phase

Design is the most crucial part of Berry. You just “wow” when you see the Berry for the first time. We know it better that the user's first interaction is Design instead of looking further into code. So we got our first pain point - “The Design” or you may say “User Interface”. Now it's time to re-think upon our past experience & make some fresh interface which is out of the box in the current market.

In this phase, Mr. Olivier (Co-founder of Material-UI) helps us a lot to finalize the overall design aesthetics of Berry. We are also very much thankful to Mr. Olivier for supporting us in the whole project.

Development Phase

It’s magic time to turn design into reality, Skin needs a hard skeleton for standing in a crowd. For that Material-UI serves the role of Skeleton. It has everything you demand for your next backend project. From UI components to design engine Material-UI is out of the box for faster development. Firstly, Berry is develop in Material-UI v4 version and while working version 5 is out with drastic changes in Performance. We have decided to migrate v4 to v5. Version 5 is our best decision to migrate Berry into it.

It takes us almost 3 months of time to develop Berry from scratch. Each line of code is written carefully with proper style & formatting.

You surely love the well commented code and easy navigation flow while using Berry for your next project.

Testing Phase

“Making a Dashboard Template is a big thing” - You need to take care of each aspect of Design rendering, Code Performance, Speed, Validation, Device & Browser compatibility.

For Berry - Our past experience plays a significant role in the Testing Phase. We have a huge portfolio in Admin Templates and know the process for the best practices for smooth testing flow.

Our main challenge is for Dark layout and Responsive testing in modern devices.

Each of our member from our team really worked hard to make Berry a high performance product. For responsive tests we have used the real devices that cover iPad, iPhone, iMac & Android devices. So you get a smooth interface in every corner of your project.

RoadMap

Considering Berry as our long-run project - we do continuous work on the following activities for future plans.

  • Knowledge Base for more easiness for users
