The challenge
How do you make programme search clearer on a portal that has grown for years?
Programturizmus combines events, a calendar, maps, and ticket sales in one place. Editorial and visitors needed clearer search without breaking existing content or the development workflow.
The solution
A map-based interface from discovering programmes to buying tickets.
IT Squad redesigned the portal around real functions: map browsing, clearer lists, and a path from discovery to tickets. We delivered on time, usable for both editorial and development.
The rebuild
A 19-year-old portal rebuilt on microservices.
After the redesign, we also carried out the full rebuild of the portal. Working without the old code base, only from the database and the functionality visible on the site, we built a microservice-based platform on Kubernetes in 10 months, using Next.js and Node.js. We migrated a database of about 100 tables and several million rows, and the search rankings did not drop.
We entrusted the IT Squad team with the design redesign of our portal. We discovered them on the basis of another project. It was a pleasant surprise that we were contacted immediately and received a quote tailored to our needs within a couple of days, so we were able to sign the contract quickly. The work undertaken was professionally completed on time and we were very pleased with it from both an editorial and development perspective. In addition to the impressive professionalism, I would also like to emphasise the approach to the task. In Balázs and Imola, we met professionals who not only gave us their expertise, but also showed a real interest in the redesign and in the portal functions that served it. Based on the work they have done for us, the team's clear strengths are high and up-to-date professionalism, accuracy, thoroughness, reliability, communication based on genuine interest, attentiveness, courtesy and good manners. Based on the short but intensive work together, we would be happy to entrust your team with further tasks.
