Calls to the booking line down 41%
An island ferry needed departures people could read in the rain.
The brief
Three routes, two boats and a timetable that changed with the tide. The old app hid the next sailing four taps deep.
What I made
A departures-first app: the next boat fills the screen, car space shows at a glance, and everything else is one swipe away. Built with a small design system the in-house developer now owns.
What happened
Calls to the booking line fell by 41% in the first summer.
Passengers stopped calling to ask if the boat was running.
