An Online Events Platform for Mirthy

Project Overview

The team behind Mirthy began working with The Developer Society as part of Nesta’s Tech to Connect Challenge, where they launched a speaker network platform for in-person events. 

During the Covid-19 pandemic, they worked with The Developer Society again to pivot the start-up to an online events platform.

Developing the Brand

My first task on this project was to develop Mirthy’s branding. Working with their colour palette, imagery, and to a brief of ‘fun and inspiring’, I produced 2 creative routes. 

Page Templates

I then created page designs for the home, catalogue, and product pages across screen-sizes. 

Checkout Flow

We launched with a first-pass checkout flow and added functionality in subsequent sprints.

Accessibility

Accessibility considerations for this site included;

  • Meeting WCAG AA standard,

  • focusing on tablet screen sizes, followed by desktop, as research showed that our target audience favoured these devices,

  • following additional guidance from AgeUK.
