Crowdpac was originally conceived of as a political crowdfunding platform but sought to branch out into a social network. Imajine was hired to convert Crowdpac from a crowdfunding platform to a social network for politics.

THE CHALLENGE
Besides converting a web platform into an app, we faced challenges related to robustness, usability, and technology choices.
The success of the project relied on careful planning and resource allocation, understanding the legal and cybersecurity implications of politics
OUR DESIGN PROCESS
Design process
By taking a user-centered approach, we conducted extensive research to understand our audience’s needs
Find the right user and make it easy for them
We pay attention to the current user on the platform to define their demographics
To create a more intuitive platform, we needed extensive user information. By observing user behavior in the current environment, we gained insights. Analyzing posts with high interactions and user demographics helped define user personas. With this data, we structured the information architecture and user flow effectively for the design process.
Translate the UX Research into visual elements
The visual elements are the main reusable components and styles used throughout the software system.
In this case the visual elements and branding were already created, but according to the UX results we improved the communication system, creating and defying a better hierarchy of elements and guidelines about how to use every style according the case.
Visual Design
With user insights in mind, we developed wireframes and prototypes that went through iterations to refine the userflow and improve the platform’s architecture. We kept the Crowdpac branding and identity in mind to create an aesthetically pleasing visual design that reinforced the product’s purpose.
OUR SOLUTION
We used the latest and greatest tech and a professional process to merge all the crowdfunding features into a political social network.
Our team used cutting edge technologies such as React Native, Next.js, Laravel / PHP to improve the interactivity of the website and create a more responsive user interface. In addition, it optimized the website’s code and database to improve load times and reduce latency.
Key features
Campaigns
Campaigns allow users to raise funds for political office or specific causes, facilitating donations for candidates and non-profits.
🔸 Users can create campaigns that collect pledges and donations, while a verification process ensures compliance with campaign finance laws, managed through DemocracyEngine for secure fund disbursement.
🔸 Donors can contribute using US dollars or Bitcoin, as the platform supports credit and debit card transactions, making Crowdpac a pioneer in integrating cryptocurrency in political fundraising.
Groups
Groups are a feature on Crowdpac that allows users to create and join groups based on shared interests, hobbies, professions, or geographical locations.
As part of the development process for the Groups feature on the Crowdpac platform, our team utilized various integrations to enhance the functionality and user experience of the feature such as livestream video, real time chat, news aggregation and much more!
Admin panel
With user insights in mind, we developed wireframes and prototypes that went through iterations to refine the userflow and improve the platform’s architecture. We kept the Crowdpac branding and identity in mind to create an aesthetically pleasing visual design that reinforced the product’s purpose.
The web dashboard and app is highly customizable, allowing users to tailor their experience to their preferences, including search filters, personalized candidate recommendations, and social media integration. This makes an admin panel even more of a necessity to help moderate content and prevent abuse.
The platform’s success was the result of Imajine’s mix of highly skilled team of developers, data scientists, and cybersecurity experts.
