Planning & Rationale

Building a portal based on real community needs.

CIVIC was developed to solve the fragmentation of local services, ensuring every resident can find the support they need.

The Development Process

Evidence-based design for better accessibility.

Our development began with a deep dive into resident experiences. By mapping the journey of seniors and students, we identified the specific barriers that prevented them from accessing essential local programs.

We prioritized a clean, accessible interface that works on any device, ensuring that whether a user is on a smartphone or a desktop, they receive the same high-quality experience.
