Local discovery · Client build
Detroit Hub: From a city of options to a plan for the day.
A local guide serves two different visits: catching up on the city and finding something to do. The interface needs to give each a clear starting point.

Decisions behind the design
Separate reading from planning
News sections and a dedicated events directory give readers and event seekers their own routes.
Filter around real decisions
Date, category and neighborhood controls let visitors narrow the directory around when, what and where.
Keep the next step close
Event details and calendar download links let visitors carry a discovery into their own plans.
What the build delivers
The live site brings local coverage and event discovery together, with a dedicated route from browsing the city to choosing an event.
For your own project, start by identifying what visitors need to decide and which action should follow. The examples above show how that decision can shape navigation, page content and mobile layouts.
