Project
Popless is a new and innovative online platform designed to provide a seamless, integrated tutoring and mentoring experience. As seen with technology-based start-ups, it can be difficult to tap into a new market with a limited budget. Allowing Popless to utilise best-practice user experience and user interface design to create a platform aimed at connecting and encouraging individuals to reach out for guidance in upskilling and creating communities is the aim for this project.
