PORTFOLIO

NextBurb

Redesigned the website for a neighborhood search provider in the US.

BRIEF

Nextburb is a platform that helps people discover their perfect neighborhood when relocating. They needed a user-friendly website that guides users through the process of finding the ideal place to live based on their preferences and lifestyle.

DISCOVERY

We conducted user research and analyzed competitor websites to identify pain points and opportunities for differentiation. Key findings included the need for a simple, step-by-step process and clear communication of Nextburb’s unique data-driven approach.

DEFINE

Based on the discovery phase, we defined the following objectives for the UI/UX design:

  1. Create a clear, concise homepage that immediately conveys Nextburb’s value proposition
  2. Design an intuitive user flow that guides users through the neighborhood discovery process
  3. Incorporate data visualizations to showcase Nextburb’s data-driven insights
  4. Ensure a responsive design that works seamlessly across devices
DESIGN

We created wireframes and high-fidelity mockups focusing on a clean, modern aesthetic.

  1. A prominent hero section with a clear call-to-action to start the neighborhood discovery process
  2. A step-by-step guide to using Nextburb’s service, with icons and brief descriptions
  3. Testimonials and success stories to build trust and credibility
  4. Data visualizations, such as maps and charts, to highlight Nextburb’s data-driven approach
TYPOGRAPHY

Primary Font: Montserrat, a modern sans-serif typeface that is easy to read and conveys a sense of professionalism.

Secondary Font: Lato, a complementary sans-serif typeface used for body text and smaller elements.

COLORS

Bay Blue: Symbolizing tech & sophistication.

Home Pink: Pops of a Gold for calls to action and visual interest.
