The Problem
Schneps Media, with its vast array of publications and digital platforms, faced the challenge of updating and unifying the user interface and user experience for three of its key properties: Brooklyn Paper, New York Family, and Star Networking. The existing sites were expansive, and there was a need to design around 15 layouts for each site, ensuring consistency and ease of navigation across desktop and mobile devices.
Our Approach
At Chillybin, our approach is rooted in understanding the core needs of our clients and their audience. We begin by immersing ourselves in the brand, its values, and its objectives. This allows us to craft designs that look good and function seamlessly. Our team prioritises user experience, ensuring that every design is intuitive and user-friendly, regardless of the device it's viewed on. By combining aesthetics with functionality, we deliver solutions that drive engagement and deliver results.
