Context

Via Senior approached Hypnotic to develop a practical, trustworthy platform that helps families find the right assisted living solution for their loved ones. The challenge: build a digital directory with strong search functionality, accessible content, and a soft visual tone—on a lean budget and tight timeline. As a company just establishing its digital presence, efficiency and clarity were key.

Approach

Clarity, comfort, and connection.

The Via Senior platform acts as a digital guide for families. Users can browse a curated list or navigate by map, using detailed filters to find the right fit. Each residence has a dedicated profile page with key details— services, photos, utilities, and more—so families can make informed choices before reaching out.

Core features:

  • Assisted living directory with list and map view
  • Search filters for location, services, pricing, and care types
  • Detailed residence profiles with photos, features, and contact info
  • Clean, responsive design across desktop and mobile
  • Friendly, human-centered visual identity

App

Same engine. Native experience.

The Kombustíveis app mirrors the website logic and backoffice—offering a seamless user experience across platforms. Built with React Native  Expo, it provides smooth cross-platform performance and uses Google Maps to deliver accurate, location-based results on the go.

Tecnhology

The platform was developed using Next.js for high-performance rendering and fast navigation, paired with Tailwind CSS and Shadcn UI for clean, responsive interface design. Google Maps powers location- based search and mapping features on both web and mobile. The mobile app was built with React Native and Expo, ensuring smooth cross- platform functionality and a consistent user experience. On the backend, we used Strapi CMS to manage multilingual content and advertisements, giving KuantoKusta full control over updates. The system integrates real- time fuel data from DGEG, and includes Google Analytics and Tag Manager to track usage and optimize performance. Everything was built with scalability and long-term evolution in mind.
