Challenge

Kinótico faced several challenges in creating this website. Firstly, the project had a limited budget. Additionally, a highly customizable visual aspect that would allow Kinótico to differentiate themselves from their competitors needed to be implemented. Finally, Kinótico's business model required a mixed subscription model that combined free and paid articles, while also achieving a competitive page in terms of performance and SEO.

Mankind Technologies was tasked with developing a complete communication medium that could meet Kinótico's needs and provide them with a competitive edge in the crowded online-media landscape.
