Long-Term UI/UX Developer (Delphi Desktop App Modernization – WinComplus)

Job ID: 40470823

Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD

We are looking for an experienced desktop UI/UX developer with Delphi expertise for a long-term collaboration to modernize and maintain an existing enterprise application called WinComplus (used in Fermax systems).

The current application is stable and fully functional, but the user interface is outdated (early 2000s style). The goal is to modernize the UI while preserving all existing Delphi backend logic.

This is not a one-time redesign task — we are seeking a long-term developer/partner to continuously improve, maintain, and evolve the UI over time.

- Scope of Work
Redesign the WinComplus UI with a modern, clean, and intuitive interface
Improve layout structure, spacing, typography, and visual hierarchy
Update legacy forms, dialogs, menus, and navigation flow
Enhance usability while preserving all existing functionality
Ensure stable performance and compatibility with current Delphi backend
Provide ongoing UI improvements and maintenance updates after initial redesign
- Desired UI Style
Modern Windows desktop application (2020+ design standards)
Clean enterprise-grade interface (similar to modern admin dashboards)
Consistent spacing, icons, and typography
Improved user experience and navigation clarity
Optional responsive behavior where applicable
- Technical Context
Existing application: Delphi (Win32 / VCL)
No database redesign required
Core business logic must remain unchanged
Backward compatibility is mandatory
Optional evaluation: VCL modernization or FMX migration (if beneficial)
- Deliverables
Updated Delphi project with modernized UI
Refactored forms and UI components
UI assets (icons, layouts, styling resources if used)
Documentation of changes and structure updates
Suggestions for future UI improvements and scalability
Optional: ongoing maintenance agreement (preferred)
- Requirements
Strong experience with Delphi (VCL or FMX)
Proven UI/UX design skills for desktop enterprise applications
Experience working with legacy codebases
Ability to improve UI without breaking existing logic
Good sense of modern Windows application design standards
- Engagement Model (Important)

We are specifically looking for a long-term collaboration, including:

Continuous UI/UX improvements over time
Maintenance of updated UI components
Bug fixes and UI refinements
Future feature integration support
Stable monthly or milestone-based cooperation
