Challenge
Creators today find themselves at the mercy of social media platforms to get their content out in front of their fans. We want to encourage more creators to take full control of their growth, become self-sufficient, and not get exploited. Softwares have streamlined other industries to great benefit in the last 25 years. We think it’s inevitable that it will also happen in our ecosystem.
Results
How are we doing this? By helping creators globally to engage deeply with their fans and communities; monetize much earlier into their journeys of being successful independent businesses and empower them to effectively manage their business.
The addition of personalization and customization options enhanced user engagement, leading to a 25% increase in user retention rates.

Process
Research & Analysis: We conducted user interviews, surveys, and analyzed in-app analytics to understand the pain points and user needs. We also studied competitor apps and industry trends to gather insights
Information Architecture: Based on the research findings, we restructured the app's navigation and content, prioritizing features and information according to user needs.
Wireframing & Prototyping: We designed low-fidelity wireframes to visualize the new layout and navigation, iteratively refining them based on user feedback. Afterward, we built a high-fidelity, interactive prototype to test the design.
Usability Testing: We conducted usability tests with a diverse group of users to validate the design and identify areas for improvement. Based on the feedback, we made necessary adjustments to the design.
Visual Design & Style Guide: We developed a cohesive visual language, including color schemes, typography, and iconography, ensuring consistency throughout the app. We also created a style guide to maintain design consistency in future updates.
"What I'm here to say is just a massive thank you and showing my gratitude to a company called Backstage. If you guys are unfamiliar, check them out backstage.army. I've been using them now for about eight months as a Patreon alternative, but this is now my main thing and Patreon is kind of like my backup. Kind of mind blown because we rarely see companies really trying to support the creator in exactly what the creator needs. So for me I was like this is new territory and it's just been a fantastic experience since then."
