The client had several front-end views for the application (in HTML), and wanted to convert those into functional Laravel code. After understanding the vision of the project, we created the back-end platform of HomestayMatch. At this platform, landlords are able to create an account, upload the image of the room they wanted to rent, and add specifications like the amount of rent, availability/unavailability status, amenities, etc.

Another challenge was to select the right third-party APIs and plugins for services, such as calendar, social sign-up, etc. It takes a keen eye to understand the code quality of 3rd party plugins and validating if they’ll still be in the market a few months down the line.
