Role: UX/UI/Brand Designer

Challenge

Simplifying the process of scheduling shoots and renting the studio space. The challenge was to streamline the customer journey, enhancing user-friendliness while simultaneously making the website more visually appealing and consistent with the brand identity of Rotterdam Fotostudio. This required not only an understanding of the user’s needs but also a clear vision of how to create a seamless and engaging online experience that reflects the studio’s professional and creative atmosphere.

Theater De Tuyter, a cultural hub in Krimpen aan den IJssel, faced the challenge of establishing a compelling online presence from scratch. The primary goal was to create a premium, engaging website that reflects the theater’s quality while also addressing its need for an online ticketing system. Given the uncertainty surrounding the theater's future, it was essential for the website to affirm its relevance and highlight its value to the community.

Challenge

Solution

Focusing on the core services: ecommerce photoshoots and studio rental. The approach involved merging menu items into a clear and concise navigation system, providing limited but essential options to bring the main services to the forefront. By guiding visitors directly to these services within the website, we ensured that users could easily find what they were looking for, increasing the overall efficiency and user satisfaction while maintaining a cohesive and attractive digital presence.

Solution

Starting with an initial strategy session, we collaborated closely with the client to identify their vision and goals for the project. The design drew inspiration from high-end entertainment venues, focusing on a modern and elegant aesthetic that communicated exclusivity and sophistication. An ticketing system was integrated, making it easier for visitors to view events, purchase tickets, and engage with the theater. The final result is a visually striking website that reflects the theater’s unique identity and supports its ongoing success.
