As a multi-language website supporting Armenian, English and Russian, it intends to reach a wider audience.

We faced a significant challenge with payment implementation as Stripe isn't supported in Armenia and we had to come up with an alternative solution of payment processing specifically designed for local market. Also, having a multi-language website supporting Armenian, English and Russian brought lots of challenges itself. We had to ensure that each update or change was properly reflected in all language versions of the website.

We assigned a back end developer who is highly specialized in payment system integration. He successfully integrated Ameria bank’s EPOS system and used SRC’s (State Revenue Committee) API to generate cash register receipts. As for the multi-language capability, we ensured that the website ran smoothly in all three languages and there were no inconsistencies in navigation, layout and graphics.

We have built Amass from scratch. At first our UI/UX designer came up with an intuitive and eye-catching design and then the developers took over the process. Our team consisted of 2 front-end developers, one back-end developer and a project manager. We’ve adopted Scrum methodology with daily stand-ups to keep the project on track and the team in sync. As of the communication and task management tools we used Linear and Slack (with its Canvas feature).

For now we have Amass ready as an MVP. It is a fully functional website that is now live and growing further by acquiring new partners.
