Korolev city administration website
Korolev is a science city, the space capital of Russia located twenty-three kilometers from the center of Moscow. The city is home to over a thousand scientific and manufacturing companies, a programming school, a house of young engineers, a center for children’s creativity and many other educational institutions. A third of the city’s territory is covered by forest and park areas, meaning it has everything people might want. Korolev administration needs a functional and easy-to-use resource to communicate information about the development of the city, its news and landmarks, as well as to establish communication with citizens and entrepreneurs. For this purpose, a convenient website was created in the studio.
First we talked to local residents and found out what functions they usually use and what new features they would like to see.
Essential information on the main page
The navigation menu contains the most visited sections. On the main page there are previews that take visitors to the most important blocks.
Relevant design with respect for tradition
For the graphic language, we took inspiration from the city’s coat of arms. Stylized for the website, the image complies with all heraldic norms and legislative acts, but becomes fresher and looks great on dynamic web pages.
