Grand One 2023 finalist in three categories: Best digital service, Best user experience and Best service design.

Carefully made according to needs

The basis of all work is high-quality research. Using interviews and surveys, Nitro formed user personas and defined their specific needs. The site’s UX and UI design was then based on the needs: clearer navigation, content divided by user groups and different technical and visual choices to support easy content discovery. 

Technical superiority

The technical implementation of the site was done using headless & serverless architecture. The modular and scalable architecture offers excellent technical flexibility and enables customisation to suit the purpose of usage. In this way, the site serves all stakeholders better, from the development work to the end users. 

Courage and open-mindedness

Cooperation with Nitro encouraged us to look at things boldly in unusual ways and invited us to search solutions without prejudices. And that is exactly what we wanted from the project: courage and open-mindedness. In the end, of course, the decisive thing was that dreams became reality in the hands of Nitro's tech wizards.
