Coor – Designing for accessibility, usability, and scalability

Coor is one of the leading facility management companies in the Nordics. Their digital platform had become outdated, inaccessible, and difficult to maintain across their 13 sites.

“With the results from the user insights project to lean on, we had a short runway when we were to begin a comprehensive upgrade of all our external websites.”

My take on the Triple Diamond: An end-to-end process, framed from a designer’s point of view.

Short explanation of the process

This is my customized version of the Triple Diamond – a simplified outline of how I usually work as a designer. It describes the overall flow from understanding the problem to exploring solutions and delivering the final design. The process is not always linear; I work in an agile way and adapt it depending on the client, team and scope.

  • Understand – researching and defining the right problem

  • Explore solutions – creating concepts, wireframes and prototypes to test and evaluate

  • Deliver & review – final UI design, supporting development and reviewing the solution before launch

Iteration can happen during or after delivery, based on feedback and results.

User feedback showed that they appreciated the overall visual style of the previous site.

However, they struggled with structure, navigation and several accessibility issues.

When designing the new site, I aimed to keep the familiar look and feel, while refining it with a cleaner structure and a more polished, modern expression.

The new navigation separates the IR-site (coor.com) and the country sites (e.g. coor.se). For instance, only the IR site has the stock market information.

Key learnings

  • Great design starts with insight. By understanding users – their goals, needs and behaviours – we reduce guesswork, move faster and make decisions we can justify with confidence.

  • Close collaboration with the client and their editors strengthened internal adoption, reduced friction and ensured a smooth rollout.

  • An agile way of working makes it easier to adapt when client needs suddenly shift.
