Esch.lu
The challenge
To create a beautiful and user friendly online presence for the city of Esch-sur-Alzette and make the site easier to use for visitors and local residents.
The project

Everything important at a glance
Entering the esch.lu website the user has four different main choices, so we can ensure to fulfill everyone’s specific needs. He can use the very prominent search, decide to look further into the City Life and Administration sites, or scroll down and discover what Esch-sur-Alzette has to offer.
City Life and Administration
A local resident, who is looking for contact numbers or very specific documents,has different needs than a person who wants to know what he could do in Esch-sur-Alzette while on a visit. Two sites with different content and looks, linked by a common landing page and a sidebar that gives the user the possibility to get back to the main homepage’s information in the form of panels.

Mobile
When visiting a city, or quickly checking information as a resident, users do this mostly with tablets or phones. We did everything necessary so this experience is as good as possible.
