The MyPets Evolution

The MyPets Evolution

Before its makeover, MyPets was a steadfast but aging friend. The platform's evolution was sparked by a need to sync with modern pet care and Sonetas' lively branding.

The original interface, reliable yet rudimentary, called for a touch of joy. Our aim: to transform routine interactions into delightful moments aligned with Sonetas' ethos.

Our communication tools, the glue of the MyPets community, were effective but outdated. A refresh was in order, designed to sprinkle every message with a little extra happiness.

A Day in the Life

A Day in the Life

Imagine waking up to a notification from MyPets reminding you of Bella's vet appointment. With a few taps, you check her medical history, confirm the time, and even get a route to the clinic. It's seamless, intuitive, and all in one place.

Later, while at the park, you remember you're running low on her favorite treats. No problem. A quick visit to the MyPets marketplace, and you've ordered more—with delivery tracking right to your doorstep.

As the day winds down, you receive a gentle nudge from MyPets: time to update Bella's daily activity log. You quickly jot down notes about her day, secure in the knowledge that it's all being tracked in her comprehensive profile. Easy, efficient, and entirely stress-free.

Behind the Scenes

Behind the Scenes

The journey to revamp MyPets was a collaboration fueled by coffee, creativity, and code. From the outset, our team embraced the challenge with Figma and Visual Studio Code as our tools of choice, aiming to blend aesthetic appeal with technical prowess.

Iterative design was key. We prototyped, tested, and tweaked, ensuring the interface was not just beautiful but also highly functional. Accessibility features were a top priority, making sure MyPets was inclusive for all pet lovers.

On the backend, we stuck with the original API but introduced Next.JS for a smoother, server-side rendered experience. This choice significantly improved loading times and overall performance, making pet management a breeze for users across the globe.

At the heart of MyPets' transformation is a carefully chosen tech stack that balances innovation with reliability. Tailwind CSS brought our UI to life with its utility-first approach, allowing for rapid, responsive design adjustments that feel custom-tailored.

Next.JS stood out for our frontend framework, thanks to its server-side rendering capabilities. It ensured our platform was fast, SEO-friendly, and provided a seamless user experience, regardless of device or network conditions.

The decision to retain the original API meant leveraging existing back-end infrastructure while introducing modern frontend technologies. This blend of old and new allowed us to enhance MyPets without compromising on the stability and reliability our users trust.
