Case study brief: Renovating Platform Magazine's website
Platform Magazine is Nottingham Trent Student Union’s official magazine. Providing student news from in-and-around Nottingham.
HeX was approached to redesign and develop the website.
Supporting students from HeX's hometown of Nottingham made this case study unique
Working alongside students and editors at the publication, we totally renovated the site’s look and feel to show the publication’s professionalism and ethos.
