Woonstad Rotterdam
A digital home for Rotterdam
Woonstad Rotterdam owns and services over 60,000 homes and business spaces in Rotterdam and with them offers a home to a diverse target audience. For such an important mission, a good service website is invaluable.
A warm welcome
The result is an accessible and guiding website that helps the Rotterdam inhabitants. Easily finding what you were looking for, no matter if it's requesting a repair or finding a suitable home.
Everything starts with strategy
We started with a digital strategy phase. There we decided that Woonstad should give their customers the tools to fix everything on their own. The digital platform is the guide that understands your situation and context, and acts accordingly.
Woonstad Rotterdam as a guide
Every contact with the customer is about service. And guiding is the way of Woonstad. The 'Question & Answers' panel is the most visible translation of this. This panel shows the most relevant questions based on the context of the current page. It looks at the subject, the behaviour and the personal situation of the user. The guiding principle can be found in every detail of the experience.
Just as diverse as the city
Rotterdam is a city with many faces. This is also true for the target audience of Woonstad. From social renters to entrepreneurs: the website should be clear and inviting to them all. That's why we tested the concepts and designs thoroughly with some real people from Rotterdam.
Doing what you're coming for
Nothing is more annoying than endlessly looking for the right information. That's why we gave the most important actions front stage. This way 80% of visitors can directly do what they are coming for. And fix things like paying rent, finding a home or requesting a repair.
Easily fix things yourself
Previously a lot of service questions were handled by phone or at the service desk. Labour-intensive and often not necessary. One of the goals of the digital strategy was lowering pressure on manned customer service channels. With the new service flows, customers are able to fix things on their own. From finding general information to requesting repairs. Can't find what they're looking for? Then the guide or customer service is always within reach.
Visual brand system
A service website like this contains a lot of different types of content. Homes, news, questions and more. To make sure it all looks the part we designed a flexible design system that works perfectly with the brand.
