Strategy & Design

Portal and Dashboard Design.

Interfaces for client portals, member areas, application systems, and internal dashboards. Designed for the people who use them every day, not just for the first visit.

Every visit counts

A client logging into your portal forms a judgment every time they use it. It is about whether your organisation looks and works like one they can trust.

  • Client portals

    Where clients log in to work with you.

  • Member areas

    Gated content and member management.

  • Application systems

    Applications, submissions and approvals.

  • Internal dashboards

    The screens your team works from.

What we do

Structure first. Then the screens.

We learn the organisation, the people it serves, and what each screen needs to make happen. Then we design around that.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We learn the organisation, the brief, and the people using the platform before designing anything.

  2. 02

    Information architecture

    Structure and user journeys mapped before visual choices are made.

  3. 03

    Custom interface design

    Built from the brief, not from a template bank.

  4. 04

    Design systems

    Consistent components that keep the platform coherent as it grows.

  5. 05

    Accessibility

    Designs that work for the widest possible range of people.

Design and build, together

The interface and the system behind it.

The same team designs the screens and builds the custom systems behind them, built around how your team already works, so nobody has to change their process to fit the software.

What you walk away with

Interfaces your people want to use.

  • Interfaces that reflect the quality of the organisation behind them
  • Full ownership of everything built: no platform fees, no licence costs, no lock-in
  • A platform your team can update, or hand to us to maintain
How we work

Designed and approved before development begins.

Six phases. Each one exists because skipping it produces a worse result.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    The brief, the operations, and the integrations in writing.

  2. 02

    Design

    Designed and approved before development begins.

  3. 03

    Build

    Built from the approved design on staging.

  4. 04

    Review

    Written sign-off before anything goes live.

  5. 05

    Launch

    A managed technical event, not a button click.

  6. 06

    After Launch

    The same team stays as your technical partner.

Every project is different, and the process adapts to the scope.
