THE PROBLEM THE CHALLENGE 
Mainstreet wanted a new responsive website which is 
also optimized for mobile devices. They hired a vendor 
prior to Net Solutions but were not satisfied with the 
quality. After due diligence they awarded the project to 
Net Solutions. 
Following were the highlights of the problem that we 
tried to solve: 
- Backend database and CMS 
- Web 2.0 interactivity 
- Up-to-date user functionality and content integration 
- Mobile optimized experience which was achieved by 
developing a mobile portal (that was linked to the 
CMS and backend database). 
User Experience 
Creating a seamless user experience and optimize 
the website for all type of devices. 
Web2Text 
Integrating a third party database Web2Text to 
provide updated rental prices of Mainstreet 
properties. 
THE SOLUTION 
User Experience 
The User Experience design team conducted 
various sessions with Mainstreet team to 
understand their audience, their preferences 
and tested various design mockups before 
finalizing the current design which is LIVE. 
Web2Text 
The project team set acron (a time-based 
scheduler) on a daily basis to update the 
Web2Text database so that the rental data of 
properties remains updated.
