The Need: A Unified Platform for Modern Event Planning
Event planning is complex, and existing solutions often focus on just one aspect, like invitations or vendors. The Event44 team envisioned a comprehensive platform that empowers both individual users and professional planners to manage the entire event lifecycle from a single, beautifully designed dashboard. They needed a solution that could balance rich functionality with ian ntuitive user experience.
Our Approach
We worked closely with Event44 to define user flows, content hierarchy, and feature modules that would simplify real-world planning scenarios. The goal was to make the platform feel like a personal assistant to every planner — guiding them through each step while keeping them in control.
From concept to code, we built a responsive, modern web application that allows users to:
Create multiple events and manage them side-by-side.
Access essential tabs like Event Details, Venues, Vendors, Invitations, Announcements, and Transactions.
View and manage their budget estimates and expenses in real-time.
Track all communication, including messages and event-related reports, from a unified dashboard.
We also added promotional features like Featured Event Planners, giving professionals a way to boost their visibility and be hired via the platform.
Information Architecture
To ensure ease of use and clarity across the platform, we began the UX design phase by mapping out a clean and intuitive information architecture. We categorized core features, such as event details, venues, vendors, invitations, and budget tracking, into clearly defined sections accessible from a centralized dashboard.
This structure allows users to navigate effortlessly between multiple events and their components, reducing cognitive load and ensuring a seamless planning experience. The goal was to give users control and confidence, no matter how complex their event may be.
Low Fidelity Design
With the information architecture in place, we moved into low-fidelity wireframing to map out user flows, interface layouts, and interactions. These grayscale mockups helped us quickly visualize the structure of each screen, validate functionality, and ensure content hierarchy was clear.
At this stage, we prioritized usability over aesthetics, focusing on core features like event creation, tab navigation, budget input, vendor booking, and RSVP tracking. This approach allowed for rapid iteration, stakeholder feedback, and early alignment before moving into high-fidelity UI design.
