The challenge
Give the right information a clear place.
Permit-plan visitors bring different project needs and different levels of familiarity with planning terminology. The design needs to connect service discovery, zoning and setback context, and a quote enquiry.
Our design focus was permit-plan service clarity, zoning education & quote conversion. The project brings the opening message, supporting content and next-step actions into a connected website presentation.
