Overview

Project Details:
Industry: Coworking / Commercial Real Estate / Flexible Workspace
Services Provided: Webflow Development, CMS Setup, Booking Form Integration, Conversion Optimization
Client Background: DeskSpace is a premium coworking and serviced office provider located in Newcastle House, a converted Darlinghurst warehouse in Sydney. With 15 years of history, 2,500+ all-time members, and $1BN+ in market cap created by its community, DeskSpace offers flexible desks, private offices, and meeting rooms for freelancers, creatives, startups, and enterprise teams. Their space combines human-centric design with timeless charm—built for innovation, collaboration, and meaningful connections.

Challenge

DeskSpace's previous website wasn't capturing the essence of their vibrant community:
Community not showcased – The old site failed to highlight the creative ecosystem and diverse member community that sets DeskSpace apart
Booking friction – Visitors couldn't easily book tours or inquire about memberships
Membership options unclear – Multiple workspace solutions (Part Time, Full Time, Private Office, Meeting Rooms) weren't presented clearly for different audiences
No CMS for content updates – The team couldn't independently publish blog posts, member spotlights, or event updates

Strategy

Our Webflow development approach focused on bringing DeskSpace's culture and community to life:
Visual storytelling through high-quality photography of the heritage warehouse space
Community-first design showcasing real members and their stories
Clear membership pathways for creatives, startups, and enterprise clients
Conversion-optimized forms for tour bookings and inquiries
Scalable Webflow CMS for ongoing journal and member content

Solution

Webflow Development:
Built a fully responsive Webflow site with smooth animations and elegant transitions
Implemented interactive member carousel showcasing community faces and linking to member spotlight articles
Created dedicated pages for each audience: Creatives & Entrepreneurs, Startups, Enterprise
Developed membership service pages: Part Time, Full Time, Private Offices, Meeting Rooms
Integrated inquiry form with membership type selection for qualified leads
Built animated statistics section (15 Years, 100+ Collaborative Projects, $1BN+ Market Cap, 2,500+ Members)
CMS Integration:
Set up Webflow CMS for Journal/Blog with category filtering (Collaboration, Member Spotlights, Events)
Created member profiles collection for community showcase
Enabled easy content publishing for member interviews and collaboration stories
Conversion Optimization:
Added prominent "Join Us" and "Book a Tour" CTAs throughout the site
Integrated contact form with clear inquiry options

Added app download links (Apple & Google Play) for member portal access
Additional Features:
