Overview

Modernizing a client-facing platform for real-time news workflows

News photo agencies depend on speed, clarity, and easy access to large volumes of visual content. FLASH90’s website, originally built over 15 years ago, no longer reflected how clients work today. The redesign focused on simplifying the experience, removing visual noise, and creating a modern, intuitive, and responsive platform that supports fast-paced editorial workflows.

Stakeholders & Project Goals

Defining success for both the business and its users

This project involved two key stakeholder groups- FLASH90 as the business client, and its media clients: editors and journalists who rely on the platform daily. While their goals differ, the redesign needed to support both the agency’s positioning and the practical workflows of its users.

Research & Insights

Understanding client workflows and real-world use

Clients often work under tight deadlines and need to locate relevant images within seconds.

Large volumes of content require clear hierarchy and strong visual scanning cues.

Unnecessary text and secondary information slow down decision-making.

The platform is used across devices, often during breaking news situations.

User Flow Evolution

Removing an extra step from a time-critical workflow

Editors often work under tight deadlines and need to download images as quickly as possible. In the previous experience, downloading required leaving the archive and opening a dedicated image page — adding an extra step at the moment decisions needed to be fast.
