The Solution Developed

When our team began collaborating on the project, the application was primarily built with WebViews. nventive’s mandate was to progressively redesign the application screens to deliver a smooth and engaging user experience on iPhone while integrating features specifically tailored for mobile use.

Christie’s mobile app allows users to effortlessly browse, search, and bid on a wide range of auctions and lots. Users can explore trending items and access a comprehensive calendar of ongoing auctions.

The app also simplifies account management, enabling users to track and update followed items. Additionally, users can explore private collections showcasing rare objects, complete with in-depth details for each lot. High-resolution images paired with detailed descriptions provide users with a rich understanding of the items available for auction.
