For the MVP, the founder was debating between an off-the-shelf solution vs. a custom software application.
For the custom software development approach, we identified complexity, provided risk/benefit analysis, and outlined a potential roadmap to implementation.
For the off-the-shelf solution, we gathered cost estimations from various vendors.
After weighing many pros and cons, our recommended approach was a custom software development plan that offered the least risk and fastest path to revenue.

OMA’s logo has an organic shape to it, so we used those shapes as inspiration for their website. Organic textures are used throughout the design, balanced with a curvy serif font (Noto Serif) to give movement to the page. The brand palette consists of warm shades of gold, brown, tans, and red.
