Our task
To create a classifieds site from scratch and make it available to all car owners in Kazakhstan and those who desire to buy a car.
The main challenge and the main peculiarity of the project is the huge number of features that the site and the application must provide the user with:
- buying and selling in one click;
- applying for a loan right on the site;
- advanced filtering system to search for cars;
- the function of quickly selling the car to a dealer by sending an application online.

- New banners with photorealism giving way to a simpler yet more original «cartoon» style.
