Case study
Dubrovnik Daily
A local news publisher needed a website and a way to run it. We took it from first sketch to live product, covering design, development and hosting, with AI inside our production.
Challenge
Dubrovnik Daily needed a modern home for its local news and a simple way for the team to publish, promote advertisers and grow a newsletter list.
Strategy
We started with structure: what readers need to scan the news fast, and what the team needs to publish without help. Every screen was designed in Figma, desktop and mobile together, on one shared design system.
Brand
A simple black and white identity with a calm editorial voice. Four typefaces, each with one job, and colour used only where it carries meaning.
Website
A story slider, a Latest feed across five categories, Featured Advertisers, Editor’s Picks, a Trending list and a weekly newsletter. An Advertise With Us page captures leads from local businesses.
CMS dashboard
A custom dashboard on the same design system. The team writes and publishes posts, manages media, tracks advertisers and sees newsletter subscribers, all without a developer, hosted on the client’s own server.
Outcome
Design, development and hosting delivered in one month. The client owns the code, the hosting and the workflow, and the team runs it alone.
Products delivered
A public news website and a custom CMS dashboard.
CMS modules
Posts, Media Library, Advertisers and Subscribers.
Month from brief to live
Senior led and shipped fast with AI in our production.
