Defenders Portal

A client representing an initiative to support Ukrainian defenders approached us with a task: to create a virtual space that would unify all available services for military personnel and their families on a single platform.



Challenge

The Defenders’ Portal was envisioned as a key initiative designed to simplify access to different types of assistance, including financial support, housing, legal consultations, social services, and more. The platform needed to act as a “one-stop shop” between defenders and municipal institutions. The challenge was to develop a fully functional portal within just one month that could seamlessly integrate a wide range of services in one place.






Approach

Our team took on the development of the portal using cutting-edge technologies while adhering to the design standards of Kyiv Digital. While we used the core colors and typography, every other component was created from scratch. This approach allowed us to deliver a unique and intuitive interface tailored to the specific needs of portal users.



Technology Stack


Frontend: Nuxt.js for a fast and smooth user experience
Backend: Laravel for its flexibility and ability to quickly deploy complex solutions
Hosting: AWS for optimized performance and high availability






Key Features


Categorization & Search: Users can easily find the necessary services through intuitive search and categorization, covering financial, social, legal, and other forms of support.
Personal Accounts: Users can create profiles to store personal information and track their service requests.
Inclusivity: Special attention was given to accessibility, ensuring the portal is inclusive for all users regardless of their physical abilities.



Client Collaboration

During the initial phase, we worked closely with the client to fully understand their needs and expectations. Regular meetings were held to align on design and functionality, enabling us to create a product that fully addressed the requirements of its target audience.






Result

Within one month, we successfully delivered a fully functional portal that allows defenders and their families to easily access the support they need. The client praised our team for professionalism and speed, noting the platform’s effectiveness in bridging communication between military personnel and municipal institutions.


Conclusion

The Defenders’ Portal demonstrates how technology can unite and provide critical support to those who need it most. Through close collaboration with the initiative, we created a product that simplifies interaction between defenders and state institutions, ensuring seamless access to essential resources.
