WEB HUB

Portals and platforms designed around users, roles and data

I design web experiences that go beyond a standard website: private areas, dashboards and platforms shaped around real workflows, access needs and the information they need to handle.

THE STARTING POINT

When a website is not enough

Some projects need to do more than present content. They need to let people sign in, find information, complete tasks, view data or use different features according to their role.

In these cases, functional architecture and user flows come first, followed by the interfaces and integrations the project needs.

More users, more flows, more structure

USERS AND ROLES

Design who can do what

Roles, permissions, journeys and priorities are defined before the interface, so each user can focus on what their workflow actually requires.

INTERFACE AND DATA

Connect the interface to its data

Dashboards, APIs and data sources are integrated into the frontend so information is clear, usable and relevant to its context.

WEB HUB

What it includes

Functional architecture, UX/UI design and frontend development for portals, private areas, dashboards and platforms with structured workflows, roles and integrations.

SYSTEM MAP — WEB HUB

How users, access and data connect

A conceptual map of the service: user journeys differ by role and connect to the features and data defined for the project.

  1. Users

    User A

    access and tasks for their role

    User B

    access and tasks for their role

  2. Access

    Authentication

    integration with the project’s chosen authentication system

  3. Roles and permissions

    Role A

    Journey A

    relevant permissions and features

    Role B

    Journey B

    relevant permissions and features

  4. Interfaces

    Dashboard A

    overview and tools for role A

    Dashboard B

    overview and tools for role B

  5. Features

    Features / Workflows

    actions, states and operational flows

  6. Integration

    API

    data exchange with the services and systems in scope

  7. Sources

    Data sources

    databases and information connected as defined by the architecture

THE PROJECT JOURNEY

From requirements to platform

  1. Discovery

    users · goals · requirements

  2. Functional Architecture

    roles · permissions · flows

  3. UX/UI

    dashboards · states · interactions

  4. Frontend Development

    components · UI logic · integrations

  5. API & Data

    endpoints · data flows · external services

  6. QA

    roles · flows · responsive · accessibility

  7. Go-live

    deployment · final checks

SERVICE SCOPE

What the service covers

INCLUDES

  • Functional architecture definition
  • Design of key user flows
  • UX/UI for private areas
  • Authentication
  • Authorization
  • Role-based access when required
  • Dashboards and operational interfaces
  • Key data flows

TECHNOLOGY

Architecture comes before the stack

Technologies and services are chosen after defining users, roles, data and workflows. The frontend can connect to existing or planned APIs, databases and authentication services as part of the project architecture.

Next.js is my main frontend stack; integrations are selected to fit the platform’s actual needs.

HOW I WORK

How we work together

  1. 01

    Review

    Users, roles, needs, data and goals.

  2. 02

    Architecture

    Workflows, permissions, screens and how features relate.

  3. 03

    Design and development

    UX/UI, frontend and integrations.

  4. 04

    Validation

    QA for workflows and roles, responsive review and launch.

COLLABORATION

When a project needs complementary skills

If the platform calls for specialist backend development, infrastructure or other skills outside my scope, I can work with other professionals while coordinating the user experience and frontend work.

When a project requires complementary expertise, I can work alongside the professionals of Mitha Creative, with clear roles and responsibilities throughout the project.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Web Hub a website?

It may share technologies with a website, but it is designed for projects with more involved users, access, features, data or workflows.

Can it include a private area?

Yes. Private areas, dashboards and role-specific journeys are among the service’s use cases.

Do you handle authentication and roles?

Authentication, authorization and role-based access can be integrated when the project architecture calls for them.

Do you also build the backend?

The service focuses on experience design and frontend development. Backend needs are defined for each project and may require dedicated services or specialist skills.

Can it connect to a database?

Yes. When the architecture calls for it, the frontend can work with databases and data sources through appropriate services or APIs.

Can it integrate external APIs?

Yes. Integrations are assessed against the workflows, data and documentation of the services involved.

Is accessibility considered?

Accessibility is considered in interface design and development. A full Accessibility Audit has its own dedicated scope.

What happens after launch?

Support and maintenance can be agreed separately to fit the platform’s complexity and needs.

LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR PROJECT

Does your project need more than a standard website?

We can start with users, roles, data and features to work out the structure it actually needs. The scope and quote depend on your goals, required features and the project’s complexity.
