DESIGN PROCESS
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The design process for Digital Dock involved close collaboration between our team and Hounslow Council to create a website that not only looked great, but also streamlined the booking process for users. We began by empathizing with the needs of small businesses, freelancers, and homeworkers in Brentford, identifying pain points and opportunities for improvement. From there, we defined the scope of the project and ideated possible solutions. We created wireframes and prototypes to test the user experience and gather feedback, ultimately producing a design that integrated seamlessly with Nexudus. Our goal was to create a visually appealing and user-friendly website that makes it easy for visitors to book meeting rooms and other resources, while providing information about the affordable co-working space and its amenities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row section_background_color=”#5513a0″ use_container=”yes” use_predefined_class=”yes” section_background_image=”55″ predefined_class=”cta-bar” css=”.vc_custom_1690458919743{margin-top: -60px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/5″ css=”.vc_custom_1595590820259{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-user-friends” color=”white”][vc_column_text]
