The Brief

Foliown is a product we at Whisk have created. Whilst there are sites such as Behance and Dribbble, it’s hard to find designers and make contact using these sites so we created a simple way of finding and connecting.

The Goals

Mobile: We wanted the product to look great on mobile, given it is in the web and design niche we expected the mobile usage to be high.
Ease of use: We wanted to make it really easy to use and try and make it as automated as we could.
Reinvention: We didn’t want to reinvent the wheel, we wanted to work with existing technologies and use them in a different way.

The Results

API: We used APIs from Dribbble, Behance, Medium and used RSS feeds to display work from designers and any of their writings. These update automatically when the user adds anything to these platforms
Contact: We have added locations, contact forms, links to portfolio and websites. This allows the designers to be contacted and gives them visibility.
Mobile Experience: The mobile look and feel is slick and gives the user an simple method of navigation and ease of use viewing and finding designers.

Conclusion

Foliown we feel could be a really great tool in showcasing designers and putting designers in touch with people looking for designers that match their brief. Whilst it’s only recently launched it has started to build quickly and the user base is growing.
