Fresh UI/UX front-end redesign of the media platform of the DDPS Center for Electronic Media
The DDPS Center for Electronic Media (ZEM) has developed a media platform to meet the increasing demand for photos and videos in internal and external communication. Although the delivered website worked, there were still some weaknesses. The user interface did not meet the requirements of the DDPS and the corporate design did not match the specifications. In addition, the user-friendliness left a lot to be desired. For this reason, we were commissioned to completely revise the front end of the platform in terms of usability and design.
