The focus was on creating an impactful visual journey that engaged visitors with NGX Group’s contributions and advancements.
Backend Development: Building on a solid foundation, I orchestrated the seamless integration of NGX Group’s rebranding narrative. The backend was thoughtfully designed to host a comprehensive repository of information, portraying NGX Group’s technological prowess and pivotal role in the financial markets.
