Navigation players can use intuitively
We introduced a desktop side menu that leads to all the key categories and pages. On mobile, a dynamic bottom navigation puts the key actions under the user's thumb.
iGaming · UX & design · Two-week sprint
A casino lobby that feels brand new. In two weeks.
Playabets asked for a significant refresh of an outdated look and feel. The look was the brief; the user experience was the actual problem. We changed both — in 14 days, brief to developer handover.

Analog to digital with a few changes.
Before, the lobby was one page with a filter that revealed an endless list of games. Nothing had hierarchy, nothing could be promoted, and finding a particular game meant scrolling past everything that was not it.
After: scrollable category sections, standardised icons, fonts and components, and navigation that works the same way on a desktop and under a thumb.

FullHandover, plus support through implementation
Three changes did the heavy lifting.
The whole redesign was delivered as a clickable Figma prototype the platform provider implemented directly — with us supporting until it was live.
Click through the prototype →Category sections instead of category pages
A new Casino Lobby collection shows the key collections in scrollable carousels. Top games from different categories now sit a tap away instead of behind a filter.
Focus games
The casino team can now emphasise a particular game by increasing its size and placing it first in the category and in the category carousel — merchandising without a designer in the loop.
Was great to work with you and thanks so much for your great work! I'm sure we will work together again soon.

Brief to handover in two weeks. A lobby with hierarchy instead of a wall of tiles, navigation built for how players actually browse, and a merchandising layer the team steers without a designer in the loop.

A change in Greek law opened a window. We researched it, secured the domain and prototyped on day one. On day two the site was live and collecting real preorders, before a cent went on stock.

Slow, stuck on page two and running on WooCommerce. We migrated the store, rebuilt it on the owner's actual brand and took it to #2 on Google for its main keyword.
