The Hive Intranet Space

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, Holistic Webdev: Office Space

What I Built

I created The Hive Intranet, a clean, responsive internal platform designed for a remote-first social media agency. The goal was to build something functional, minimal, and tailored to real daily needs. I focused on layout clarity, fast access to tools, and smooth usability across screens.

The interface uses a soft white and gray background with orange accents to highlight actions and data points. It’s structured into six main sections, each designed with purpose.

Breakdown of the Sections:

• Smart Hub A daily productivity area. It includes a simple task tracker (Quick Wins) and a learning widget that rotates new content. These help team members focus and stay up to date.

• KPI & Tools This section holds key stats like project completions, client count, and satisfaction rate. Right beside it, I added shortcut icons to tools like Google Docs, Asana, SEMrush, Buffer, and Claude. With this no need to switch tabs, just jump into your favorite work tools.

• Company News A simplified announcement area. It shows a featured story with an image and a list of updates. I stripped it down to reduce noise but keep everyone in the loop.

• Projects Showcase
  I used a masonry grid to highlight current projects. This section is to remind the employee of what they are actively working on and how far they have gone

• Navigation
  A sidebar structure that links to all major pages: Projects, Clients, Documents, Library, and Team. Some pages are placeholders for future content. The challenge said to focus on the homepage.

Journey

This project was a good mix of design thinking and frontend structure. I went with a mobile-first approach and paid attention to small UX details, like making the tool icons easy to reach and ensuring grid behavior stays solid on small screens.

I kept the CSS lean and used variables for easy theming. The HTML is semantic and accessible. I removed unused code before shipping, keeping everything clean for production.

The sections were chosen based on how remote teams actually work—daily focus, fast tool access, visible progress, and lightweight communication. Every part plays a role in keeping the team in sync.
