The challenge was to design Hosting.com’s first customer panel from scratch in just three months.

It needed to balance simplicity for first-time hosting customers with the power and flexibility demanded by advanced technical users — all while integrating third-party data sources and defining a new navigation, visual identity, and interface patterns.

The app handled complex billing and provisioning flows but lacked consistency, hierarchy, and user empathy.

Much of my work focused on identifying pain points in existing journeys, simplifying the interface, and driving higher UX standards without disrupting active users — including designing a streamlined new checkout flow to reduce friction and improve conversion

Design system

Design system

Design system

Built a scalable and consistent design system to avoid fragmented, outdated interfaces, while also bringing the visual clarity and cohesion seen in stronger industry examples. This ensured cohesive branding, faster design iteration, and long-term scalability for new services and localisation.

Navigation

Navigation

Navigation

Simplified and structured to reduce cognitive load and improve discoverability, tackling issues of cluttered or hidden menus seen elsewhere. At the same time, we incorporated the streamlined flows that users respond well to, while adding flexibility for advanced configurations.

Onboarding

Onboarding

Onboarding

Created a guided, step-by-step onboarding experience that balanced ease for first-time hosting customers with efficiency for advanced users. This built on the clarity found in better onboarding examples, while avoiding common pitfalls such as over-emphasis on upsells.

“Kasey not only understands the finer details of UX and how to get the best out of a product, he’s also one of those rare designers who can execute visuals to the highest level. Product, brand, websites — he’s at the top of the game in every area. And as a bonus, he knows a thing or two about coffee, which in my book is always a winner.”
