Give Feedback on our Design

I’m happy to be able to show you a big glimpse of what the community will look like.

Below you can see the whole process.
And please, write a comment and say what you think :)

A few words on what you’re looking at above.
We liked the first proposal by Oakwood very much but we also felt that the community should be less power design and instead warmer, soft and more playful. Oakwood then came up with new proposals which finally resulted in the last design seen above.

I’m not going into details about the functionality seen in the designs but I can promise you that the Explore Sweden map will be something very special ;)

Notice something missing?
Yep… there’s no name for the community yet!

Oakwood Creative and NetRelations of Scandinavia

After a tough and stressful July of inviting tenders for the online community design, we’ve finally selected who we want to work with.
Unfortunately, because of the cramped time table, we didn’t have time to show you all the designs and vote on them. I hope you will like the end result anyway.

Design created by Oakwood Creative

As I’m writing this they are working hard at creating a beautiful and user friendly design. The first prototype has now gone through a couple of iterations and we’re close on reaching the final design template to proceed.

Oakwood Creative is a small web design agency located in Gamla Stan / Old City, Stockholm.

Design implemented by Netrelations of Scandinavia

I’ve chosen the perhaps unusual approach of letting another company implement the design. I’ve continued our “dream team” approach to this project and NetRelations have a very good reputation especially when it comes to implementing web sites according to standards, usability and accessability.

NetRelations of Scandinavia is a consulting agency specialized in accessability and web standards located in Gothenburg.

In the next post I hope to show you how far we’ve come with the design! :)

The design proposals are in!

We’ve now received a good selection of design proposals for the online community. I’ve started the process of going through them, evaluating the designs and the costs etc. It’s all very interesting and inspiring!

Stay tuned for more updates!
