Live Version: Potentia | Maxima
Repository: GitHub Repo
The app is developed by Jarlath Sweeney.
Potentia | Maxima is a coaching client communication application. The main goal of this app is to help the client users and the coaches interact with each other in a single, central location. The aim is to increase the client base for the site owner, as well as bring efficiencies to the communications between the existing clients and their respective coaches.
Developed for busy clients and owners, the app is designed to be easy to use and intuitive. The goal of the app is to bring all communications between the parties to one central repository. This has been achieved with the use of a clean, simple, efficient, and sleek layout and design interface.
The app was developed for three different sets of users:
- Site Visitors: to engage their interests, and to move them from being potential clients in to becoming client users.
- Client Users: to simplify their coaching experience, and to bring value to their exercising lives.
- Site Owners: to manage their clients coaching regimens efficienctly, and to boost numbers of client users.

The design of the application is based on a clean, uncluttered idea. The central theme of the application is the simplicity of use. Thus, all the components are designed to be easy to use. An abundence of white and white spaces was decided upon in order to create a more pleasant user experience.
The color scheme of the application is based on the colors:
