Challenge
Intuitive music search engine
Technology is vital to any online business, but particularly those working with a massive database of large digital files. Speed and UX were crucial in this project. We needed to build an intuitive music search engine, one that made the process of finding the right track easy and effortless. We started with an existing Ruby on Rails codebase to make several alterations, add new features, and completely re-design the look and feel of the site.

New interface
Convenient and functional user interface with the use of React technology.
Redefined, simplified UX
Advanced tagging system and music search logic with a built-in player of uploaded songs.

Evan Buist, Managing Director
They delivered everything we agreed on and more.
The philosophy at Ragnarson is unique and one to be greatly respected. This is absolutely reflected in the interactions I had with all staff members and in the quality of work delivered. Integrity is a trait often left behind in the current international business landscape, but Ragnarson possesses real integrity and so much more.
