Web App & UI/UX by Jhavtech Studios for TheBeep Featured on News.com.au
When TheBeep was recently featured in news.com.au's EOFY 2025 Motoring Guide, it reflected months of strategy, design, and development coming together. At Jhavtech Studios, our role was behind the scenes—but essential. We were tasked with delivering the full automotive pricing web app and UI/UX design, ensuring the platform can deliver clarity, speed, and ease of use to every visitor exploring car deals, offers, and pricing data.
We’re not here to take the spotlight from the founders. This success belongs to them. But as the team who designed and built the web experience from the ground up, we take quiet pride in helping shape a product that works exactly when it needs to. And sometimes, that’s all the validation we need.
This article isn’t about self-praise. It’s a transparent account of what we did, how we approached it, and why automotive technology—when paired with thoughtful design and development—can be a silent enabler of real impact.
Understanding the Problem: Pricing Transparency in the Automotive Market
The automotive sales market in Australia has long been cluttered with confusion, inconsistency, and information gaps. Consumers often struggle to find transparent pricing, with deals varying between states, dealers, and even specific models. TheBeep aimed to solve this by giving buyers access to a clean, simplified feed of vehicle prices and promotional offers—all in one place.
But building a product around such a complex, ever-changing data stream requires more than just a technical fix. It needed a web app that could display dynamic pricing data clearly, while staying lightweight, fast, and intuitive for everyday users. The challenge was to create something powerful behind the scenes and effortless on the surface.
This is where we began our journey with TheBeep—understanding the problem from the user’s point of view and ensuring the tech would respond accordingly. Our responsibility was not just to build a platform, but to make sure it made sense to real users navigating real decisions.
Our Role: Building the Backbone with Web App Development
From the outset, we focused on creating a web app that could scale with both user traffic and business logic. The infrastructure was designed with future growth in mind—meaning the codebase had to be modular, the data flow needed to be clean, and performance was non-negotiable. Reliability was our first priority, but usability was a very close second.
We leveraged a modern tech stack, including a React front end, a Node.js backend, GraphQL for efficient data querying, and Redis for caching. This combination allowed us to deliver a responsive, high-performance user experience while maintaining flexibility for ongoing content updates and feature iterations.
Since TheBeep offers real-time pricing on new vehicles across multiple brands, the backend had to fetch and display updates instantly—without slowing down the user journey. We implemented clear API contracts, asynchronous data handling, and smart caching strategies to make that happen.
Scalability wasn’t just an ideal—it was a necessity to handle surges in traffic during high-volume periods like EOFY sales. The architecture was stress-tested and optimized to ensure it could accommodate growing demand without compromising on speed or stability.
Security and performance went hand-in-hand. With car prices and promotional offers being commercially sensitive, every aspect of development adhered to industry-grade security protocols—without sacrificing the fast, seamless experience users expect.
Designing for Clarity: Our UI/UX Design Approach
UI/UX design wasn’t just a finishing touch—it was at the center of how TheBeep would communicate with its users. From our earliest wireframes to final high-fidelity screens, our design team focused on one thing: removing barriers. We made sure every component had a job to do, and every screen helped users move forward without confusion or clutter.
We built wireframes around core use cases: browsing deals, filtering preferences, comparing brands, and getting more info. The design had to help users feel in control without overwhelming them with options. We leaned into minimal design elements, making space and contrast do the heavy lifting, with smart use of micro-interactions to guide the user gently.
We kept typography clean and readable, used neutral backgrounds to let the content stand out, and ensured that the mobile-responsive view retained all core functionality. Even the smallest icons and labels were tested with actual user feedback. Every interaction was deliberate, and every design decision reflected a strong commitment to usability over flash.
Seamless Collaboration with TheBeep Team
From the beginning, this project was built on strong communication. TheBeep’s team had a clear vision of the value they wanted to bring to the Australian car-buying public, and our role was to help translate that vision into a working product. We aligned early on goals, functionality, and user expectations, which saved time during development.
Throughout the project, collaboration wasn’t just about weekly calls—it was about constant feedback, rapid iteration, and open conversations. When priorities shifted based on market insights or user feedback, we adapted quickly and offered practical solutions to meet those needs. This synergy helped us avoid common project pitfalls and keep everything moving forward on schedule.
There were moments where we needed to challenge ideas constructively and offer alternate approaches—particularly in areas where user behavior might differ from initial assumptions. But those discussions only made the final product stronger. Mutual respect and shared focus created an environment where great decisions were made collaboratively, not in isolation.

Keeping Web App Performance a Priority
As the platform prepared for launch, we doubled down on performance testing. The web app was designed to scale, but theoretical scalability isn’t enough, you have to test it. We ran stress tests, monitored time-to-interactive, and optimized rendering paths to ensure fast, responsive access to vehicle deals, even as user volume increased.
The app was optimized to meet Core Web Vitals performance standards, including fast loading, smooth interactivity, and layout stability. These enhancements played a critical role in user satisfaction and retention, especially during time-sensitive periods like EOFY promotions.
We also implemented fallback strategies for slower networks, ensuring users across various regions and devices had a consistent, reliable experience. Caching frequently accessed data and streamlining image delivery further reduced load times.
One area where we invested extra care was the filtering engine. Users expect instant updates when they apply filters like brand, price, or location. We ensured this felt seamless, using client-side rendering and optimized query structures to deliver near-instant results. The outcome was a smoother, more responsive experience—one that supported confident decision-making and minimized drop-offs.
Simplifying Complexity for the End User
All of the data that powers TheBeep is complex—multiple brands, deals updated regularly, and conditional logic based on location or offer terms. But the user should never feel that complexity. That was one of our most important responsibilities of our UI/UX team.
We designed systems that broke down large sets of data into digestible sections. Cards, badges, collapsible sections, and tooltips were used thoughtfully—not as decoration, but to support user clarity. Even the naming of each action button was reviewed to ensure it led users forward without ambiguity.
By focusing on simplification—not just visually, but structurally—we helped ensure TheBeep could reach users who might otherwise abandon the process altogether. In our view, the real success of a web app lies in how invisible the complexity becomes once it’s in the user’s hands.
A National Feature That Validated the Vision
Seeing TheBeep featured in a national media outlet was a testament to the clarity of their idea, the timing of their launch, and the trust they’ve built with their audience. For us, it also meant the tech had done its job. The platform held up, delivered value, and left a strong impression—exactly as intended.
We didn’t pitch the press. We didn’t ask for shoutouts. But we know the role we played in enabling that coverage. It’s in the seamless browsing, intuitive filters, and lightning-fast responses of a platform built to perform under pressure and scale with demand.
Recognition wasn’t our goal—but we quietly celebrated knowing we helped create something worth noticing. This kind of feature doesn’t come from hype—it comes from building something that works. And that’s where we place our pride.
