As The Hub evolved into a central figure in Dayton's entrepreneurial ecosystem, there was a pressing need for a digital presence that mirrored its physical vibrancy and historic significance. The existing website lacked the functionality and aesthetic appeal to effectively communicate The Hub's offerings and heritage. The challenge was to design a website that seamlessly blended the rich history of the Dayton Arcade with the forward-thinking spirit of The Hub.
The Hub
A collaborative coworking space driving innovation in Dayton’s historic Arcade.

the challenge
stakeholder collaboration
We initiated the project with comprehensive consultations involving key stakeholders from The Hub, the University of Dayton, and the Entrepreneurs’ Center. This collaborative approach ensured that the website's objectives aligned with the diverse needs of its community.
strategic design and content development
Drawing inspiration from the architectural elegance of the Dayton Arcade, we crafted a visual identity that paid homage to its Renaissance Revival style. The content strategy was developed to highlight The Hub's unique position as a convergence point for innovation and history, emphasizing its role in housing over 180 small businesses and hosting more than 550 students across various programs.
enhanced user experience
The new website was designed with user-centric navigation, allowing visitors to effortlessly explore coworking options, event spaces, and community initiatives. Interactive elements, such as virtual tours and event calendars, were integrated to engage users and provide real-time information.
accessibility and responsiveness
Recognizing the diverse audience of The Hub, we ensured the website adhered to ADA compliance standards, offering an inclusive experience for all users. The responsive design guarantees optimal viewing across various devices, catering to the on-the-go nature of modern entrepreneurs and students.

Looking Ahead
As The Hub continues to expand its offerings and community impact, the website stands as a scalable platform ready to adapt to future needs. Our partnership remains strong, with ongoing support to ensure The Hub's digital presence evolves alongside its physical growth
Working with Christopher & Mae on The Hub’s website redesign was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, they took my vision and brought it to life—often filling in the gaps where I wasn’t sure what I wanted and making incredible choices that truly elevated our brand.Their team made the content creation process seamless, and I learned so much from their expertise. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to timely execution were outstanding. Jon and his team consistently went above and beyond, even preparing collateral for key Board meetings.The final product is not only visually stunning but also effective—we’ve already seen an increase in site traffic. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Christopher & Mae to anyone looking for a web design team that truly understands branding, storytelling, and functionality.
