Nairobi Lens: a news platform, designed and built end to end.
A high-performance, search-friendly digital news platform — taken from discovery and information architecture, through UX and a design system, to a production build.
CLIENT-APPROVED CASE STUDY
One team, from the first workshop to the live site.
Discovery
Framing what a modern Kenyan news platform has to do — for readers, for editors and for search — before any design began.
Information architecture
How stories, topics and sections are organised so readers and search engines can find them.
UX & design system
Reading-first interface design, captured in a design system so the product stays consistent as it grows.
Build
A fast, search-friendly front end on a headless CMS, so the content team can publish without a developer.
Built for speed and for search.
A news site lives or dies on how quickly pages load and how easily search engines can read them. The platform is built on a headless CMS with a fast, statically generated front end, so readers get pages quickly and the editorial team keeps a simple publishing workflow.
- Content platforms, media sites and portals that must load fast and rank well
- A design system your team can extend after launch
- Design and engineering handled by one team, so what is designed is what ships
Shaping a product of your own?
We run discovery, design the flows and interface, and can build the first version too.
