Great municipal websites don’t make people work. They make government services feel simple and everyday services easy to find and use.

That’s exactly what we set out to build with the City of Yellowknife.

Together, we transformed a department-first website into a service-first digital experience that’s intuitive to navigate, easier to manage, and built to evolve alongside the City’s growing digital services. This build incorporated many of zu’s expertise areas including research and UX strategy, design and brand touches, Drupal development, content migration, and AI-enhanced search to name a few.

This really was all about making everyday interactions feel effortless and ensuring the website served the local people in the best way possible.

Thanks to the collaborative team at City of Yellowknife for being an incredible partner throughout the journey. We can’t wait to see how the new platform continues to serve the community.

We are extremely elated for the team at Concept3 Business Interiors Concept3 Business Interiors on the launch of their refreshed brand and new website, as well as grateful for the opportunity to partner with a team that’s as intentional about their work as they are about the experience they create.

Their incredible project work deserved to be front and centre with a visual-first approach, and it now is, making it easier than ever to explore the spaces they’ve brought to life. The spotlight was also expanded to the people behind the work, giving visitors a better look at the talented team that makes Concept3 what it is.

When our partners look to us for solutions to both simple and complex challenges, naturally after 30 years of being in the digital space, we feel like the experts! But sometimes an idea will push us out of our proverbial comfort zone, like the one where Sandbox Mutual Insurance looked to us to “zag” as they say, and lead their teams in an A.I. focused development innovation camp with 20+ of their best and brightest.

To be fair, using A.I. in development, creating custom solutions and leading teams with ideation methods isn’t new to us. But doing it in a single day, sunrise to sunset, with the challenge of creating a realistic protoype to solve customer pain points and then pitch it Sales & Marketing style to a panel of judges…was well, something we hadn’t experimented with yet!

Enter, the Sandbox x zu first ever Innovation Camp and it was almost an indescribable day where experts from Marketing, Underwriting, Customer Success, Data, Finance and Risk, paired up with Designers and Developers from the zu crew to create something special together. The Sandbox crew brought their knowledge and expertise of their business areas and customers and zu brought their most innovative skills, leaning on Claude, FigmaMake and more to create some really amazing prototypes. We saw ourselves as customers in every single one of them!

The judges were challenged, the emotions were high, the outputs were exceptional, so much so that building the real-life fully integrated idea is now more realistic than ever.

Congrats to all the team members from both Sandbox and zu on an exceptionally adventurous day, and thank you to Matt, Denise, Rob, Rachel and all of our contacts there for trusting us in leading them through this monumental experiment.

Excited to share our latest work with the City of Saskatoon. City Stories is simple by design; a platform built to close the gap between City Hall and the people who live here. As content gets easier to produce and harder to trust, building opportunities to tell real stories about the real people and real work happening in our City matters more than ever.

Every week, Government of Saskatchewan brings together hundreds of updates from farmers and field reporters into a provincial snapshot of crop conditions: "The Saskatchewan Crop Report".

Farmers rely on it to time their operations, industry to forecast production, insurers to monitor drought risk, and government to validate crop estimates at the national level. (and that's just the surface)

Over time, as most systems do, the process became fragmented. Submissions arrived in both print and digital formats, and administrators were manually consolidating everything before each weekly release. Once published, most of the data lived in static PDFs, with limited ability to compare historical and real-time data.

We reengineered the entire Crop Report Solution around three priorities:

› Structured online surveys to replace manual submissions
› Built-in automation, data weighting, and integration to reduce manual handling
› Interactive dashboards to make the data easier to access, compare and explore

Right out of the gates, admin labour dropped by 70 percent, and more than 200 crop reporters now submit directly from, well, wherever they want.

Our Operations Director, Jen Korney sat down with long-time friend and partner, Matt Ramage on his Studio D YXE Podcast for a chat that went beautifully beyond the script.

They touched on growing as a leader, building organizational culture, how AI is showing up in our work, and of course their shared love of Formula 1.
