Prophotos.ru: developing a media portal for photo equipment & photography
Prophotos.ru portal publishes reviews on photo equipment and articles about photography. The primary goal of the portal is to be the first to test equipment and publish independent assessments of cameras.
The Prophotos team wanted to make the portal the most respected Russian source of information about cameras. To do this, they developed a special assessment methodology and wrote detailed, multi-page reviews to give readers a complete picture of the products before buying.
The combined Prophotos & Evrone team had to provide support for the existing monolithic Ruby application, as well as introduce new features outlined by the business model, including mechanics for voting in contests and other interactions with the portal’s audience.
