Project
in detail
The customer’s lending portal is a comprehensive web application suite that serves as a connection point for brokers, borrowers, and internal users. Leobit’s experts made significant contributions to the development of all these components. Our team was responsible for crafting front-end elements for three of the customer’s websites and creating a custom CMS from the ground up, complete with industry-specific content and materials.
Broker-facing and borrower-facing websites
The system comprises two interconnected websites: one tailored for brokers and the other for borrowers. The broker-facing website facilitates the processing of online mortgage applications by brokers, enabling them to initiate the process before it's handed off to the loan originator. If necessary, the website can send documents to borrowers and notify them about assigned tasks to move forward. We carried out a front-end overhaul, transitioning from Angular JS to Angular 8, and introduced additional features to enhance optimization. This front end encompasses various functions, including loan registration, program selection, and submission.
On the other hand, the borrower-facing website empowers borrowers to request loans, submit required documents, choose preferred loan programs, furnish essential information (such as personal details, employment history, financial liabilities, assets, etc.), and provide eConsent for loan registration, among other functionalities. This website, too, has undergone a transition to Angular 8 for improved performance. Leveraging the interconnected capabilities of this solution, both brokers and borrowers can collaborate, communicating effectively to reduce debt ratios or enhance borrowers' credit scores.
The mortgage rate comparison website
We overhauled a website designed for generating loan estimates based on user-provided data, transitioning it from AngularJS to Angular 8. It features a robust mortgage calculator that empowers users to compare various loan options and select the most suitable mortgage type based on their individual financial circumstances.
This upgrade enhances the platform's ability to provide accurate and tailored financial information to its users, facilitating more informed mortgage decisions.
Custom-built educational portal CMS
We developed a CMS from the ground up that functions as an educational portal for brokers and lenders. Internal users are responsible for publishing a diverse array of industry-related content, encompassing everything from the latest mortgage news and updates to webinars and educational courses.
This CMS is crafted with Angular for the front-end and .NET Core for the back-end, ensuring a robust and efficient system.
