Design Studio

Introduction

Design Studio enables users to select and configure the modules and pages that best align with their project’s needs. Users can use Figma to develop layouts by exporting the sample pages provided for each module, or import their own customized designs.

Design Studio, which includes Xami, assists users in creating comprehensive user stories with tailored recommendations for different user roles in the project. Once the solution is complete, users can add on features like annual maintenance, VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing), and contingency planning to ensure it's secure and comprehensive. For a scalable and reliable infrastructure, an additional option of cloud hosting is available.

Users can make the most of Design Studio’s features to develop a comprehensive, customized solution that satisfies the demands of their project.
