Project overview
Panda's Playhouse had grown to more than 5,000 active members through Facebook ads and needed a proper membership website. The requirements were identity verification for new members, a members-only area, a way to manage their virtual currency and a site that worked well on phones. The owners wanted it built on Wix so their virtual assistants could update it without hiring a developer.
We started with low-fidelity wireframes to work out the flow from the landing page to a signed-in member, then moved to high-fidelity designs and a clickable prototype in Figma. Development started after the flow and colors were approved.
I used Wix Studio's Velo layer to build the custom parts: a facial verification step using a third-party API, a members-only area, and the virtual currency system used inside the community. The site is responsive and works across browsers.
