A modern fibre network with a digital experience stuck in legacy.
YouFibre was building a full fibre broadband network capable of delivering symmetrical speeds up to 10Gbps across 90+ UK towns and cities. But their digital products told a different story — sign-up flows created friction, account management felt like an afterthought, and internal teams were working with tools that slowed them down rather than helping them scale.
For a company positioning itself as the modern alternative to legacy broadband providers, the gap between their infrastructure and their digital presence was a real problem. They needed a partner who could think holistically across mobile, web, and internal platforms — not just make things prettier, but fundamentally rethink how customers and teams interact with the brand.
The new customer portal — service status, billing, plan upgrades, and help, all in one calm surface.
A holistic redesign across four connected workstreams.
We started where we always start: with the people actually using the product. Through strategy workshops and UX research, we mapped the full customer journey — from first hearing about YouFibre to managing their account months later — and identified the moments that mattered most.
-
Mobile App (iOS & Android)
A customer-facing app that makes managing broadband feel effortless — check speeds, troubleshoot issues, manage billing, and get support without picking up the phone.
-
Customer Web Applications
Streamlined web platforms for service sign-up, plan comparison, and account management — reducing friction in the acquisition funnel and making self-service intuitive.
-
Internal Tools & Dashboards
Purpose-built tools for YouFibre's operations and support teams, designed to surface the right information at the right time and eliminate manual workarounds.
-
Product Strategy & UX Research
End-to-end discovery that informed every design decision — from competitive analysis of the UK broadband market to user testing with real YouFibre customers.
For the app, we focused on the moments customers actually live in — order tracking during the install window, broadband health at a glance, and bills that read like a friendly statement rather than a phone bill. We designed for both the anxious new customer and the established subscriber who just wants to pay and move on.
Onboarding hands-off to a friendly engineer, with a clear next step
Account home — broadband plan, add-ons, and service status in one tap
A digital ecosystem that finally matches the speed of the network.
Customer acquisition flows are now smoother and more conversion-friendly. The mobile app puts subscribers in control of their broadband experience. And internal teams have tools that actually help them move fast — critical for a company scaling across the UK.
Dozens of screens across onboarding, billing, and account management — one consistent system from first install to long-term subscriber.
Billing as a clear, scannable statement — not a phone bill
Self-service support that resolves before a ticket gets opened
The team didn't just deliver pretty screens — they rethought how our customers and our staff actually use the product. Every release moves a real number.YouFibre Product Lead
