Thoughts & insights

We like to consider ourselves CMS (Content Management System) experts here at Little Miss Robot. But when given the choice, there’s one CMS in particular that we love to work with: Craft CMS.

When creating a mobile app, an important decision we make early on is which framework to use as the foundation of the project. This involves choosing between developing a native app or a hybrid app. But what exactly is the difference?

Our team put their heads together to collect 4 tips to design even better products and websites! Read all about how we use FigJam to gather content from our clients, the importance of interactive prototypes and how we speed up our workflow with FLOW. And oh, on top of that: FLOW got a sweet update!

Last month, 75 developers assembled at our studio for the third Belgian Craft CMS Meetup. We had three fantastic speakers sharing their Craft insider tips and tricks.

Originally started as a macabre children’s book, Edward & The Ghost came alive through digital storytelling in a web-based interactive storybook. Wanting to showcase their abilities and at the same time use it as proof of concept for similar future projects, Once Storytelling created this first chapter of the story as a passion project. The story itself was meant to make death less scary for children.

We had to wait for it a bit longer than we hoped, but in 2022 our product design meetup was finally back! The 15th edition took place in the Museum of Industry in Ghent.

As a design agency, we’re involved in a wide range of projects, from mobile apps to complex information architecture, marketing websites, multi-brand design systems, software, and more. We also work for many and varied clients and count on a team of over 30 designers and developers, many of whom collaborate on the same files at any given moment.

Over the last few months we’ve been working together with Roularta on several new projects, helping them to implement design-thinking and a human-centered approach in their workflow.

What's expensive and inefficient for any design agency? Tons of tools, indeed. In the last few years, we've been working with a combination of Sketch, Abstract, and Invision. But even these three together didn't answer our needs. So early 2020, we decided to dip our toe into the Figma-waters.

At Little Miss Robot, we like to do things differently. So we decided to host the first Craft CMS Meetup of 2020 at our offices!

Team Little Miss Robot visited the Fronteers conference in Amsterdam. Are you eager to find out which quick wins they learned to help optimise their UX and performance? Then you have come to the right place!

This time we visited the city of Kortijk, recently elected as a creative city of design by Unesco and home to many talented students attending one of the multitude of design programmes in the city.

On the 26th of April we organised the 11th edition of our product design meetup, an inspiring evening filled with interesting talks and great insights.

This is our own internal library which allows us to easily create detailed wireframes, without being too restrictive. We use this as a starting point to keep everything efficient & consistent, but they still encourage creativity and some custom work.

When Apple announced ARKit earlier this year, the writing was on the wall that AR might be on the verge of blowing up into the mainstream. We put the software to the test to see if it is really living up to the hype.
