Model range, applications, configurations and verified specifications.
BIG FISH · Aviation and drones
Websites for aviation equipment manufacturers, service organisations and civilian drone businesses. Present applications, documentation and the path from enquiry to lifecycle support.
Design × industry workflow
FROM WEBSITE TO SERVICE
Model range, applications, configurations and verified specifications.
Separate documents by model, revision and access level.
Installed equipment, requests, assigned specialists and service history.
INTERACTIVE EXAMPLE
Try the journey “Model and serial number → Request details → Specialist assignment → Service follow-up”. Change the inputs to see when the next step becomes available.
An educational model with fictional companies, values and rules. All actions stay in the browser; no data is submitted. This illustrates a possible solution, not a connected system or a client case study.

WORKFLOW
| Layer | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Website and interface | Presents the product, explains conditions and guides the action. |
| Application server | Checks permissions, valid transitions and repeated requests. |
| Business systems | Confirm authoritative data within the agreed exchange scope. |
| Responsible people | Make decisions requiring professional assessment and approval. |

BIG FISH · AVIATION & DRONES
For aircraft and civilian drone manufacturers, we design catalogues that make configurations easy to compare. Payload, intended use and limitations appear alongside technical materials and a consultation request.
A service portal connects each aircraft to its documentation, support requests and maintenance plan. Task preparation, approval and completed-work records have distinct states. Maps and telemetry use a clear visual hierarchy without overwhelming the screen.
SOLUTION GUIDE
Design decisions, data, permissions and acceptance checks. Exact business rules and integrations are defined for your organisation.
Aviation and drones / 01
Aviation products benefit from careful scale and detail. Use strong product imagery, clear catalogue views and meaningful model comparison. Distinguish civilian applications, configurations and operating conditions from promotional language. Interactive presentation supports product exploration but does not replace approved technical documentation.
During design, document representative screens and expected user actions. For each decision, identify what editors maintain, what comes from another system and who owns its freshness.
Acceptance check: A first-time mobile visitor can find the relevant service and next step.
Aviation and drones / 02
The workflow connects these stages: Model and serial number → Request details → Specialist assignment → Service follow-up. Each transition has an owner, inputs and a visible result. Before implementation, map the normal journey, correction, cancellation and repeated actions. Interface status must represent a confirmed state rather than a button click.
Acceptance check: Returns and retries preserve input without duplicating the result.
Aviation and drones / 03
Distinguish model, modification, serialised unit and document revision. Service requests reference the specific unit and attachments. A new manual revision must not silently replace the document used to close an earlier request. Keep service history separate from public product content.
Acceptance check: Reference data changes do not overwrite an agreed document.
Aviation and drones / 04
The public website exposes approved product information. Operators see their units and requests, service teams assigned work and editors the technical publication workflow. The interface does not automatically authorise servicing or operation; authorised specialists make those decisions within the organisation’s established process.
Acceptance check: A different organisation cannot retrieve a restricted file by direct URL.
Aviation and drones / 05
Equipment data may come from ERP or a lifecycle system, and service work from a specialist platform. Exchange only agreed fields and documents. The web portal does not control flights or replace onboard or critical systems. Integration failure leaves a request queued with a clear status.
Acceptance check: An unavailable source never appears as a confirmed success.
Aviation and drones / 06
For long operations, acknowledge receipt and retain the result identifier. Retrying after a connection loss must not create a second record. Separate user-correctable errors from cases requiring a specialist, preserving input under the agreed handling rules. Design empty, loading, forbidden and unavailable states before implementation rather than after launch.
Acceptance check: A repeated event does not apply an operation twice.
Aviation and drones / 07
Support distinct audiences: buyers, engineers, operators and service partners. Link applications to suitable models and permitted documentation. Product owners approve technical characteristics before publication. Illustrations and example values remain clearly separated from certified product information.
Acceptance check: Search and filters lead to useful pages without endless duplicates.
Aviation and drones / 08
The first release covers the complete journey from “Model and serial number” to “Service follow-up”, supporting pages and editable fields. Test mobile views, roles, forms, documents and integration failures in staging. Save the previous state and define rollback before switching. Handover includes editor instructions, the exchange design and a checklist for future releases.
Acceptance check: Recovery has been tested on a copy, and editors can maintain fields independently.
FAQ
Yes. Start with structure, design, content and a complete enquiry journey. Design catalogue entities and identifiers with the future portal in mind to avoid another data migration.
We first inspect the supported interface, permissions and test environment. Then agree data scope and system responsibilities. If no suitable API exists, assess an alternative and its limitations separately.
Page types, content volume, roles, integrations and first-release scope. Discovery produces a structure, prototype and staged estimate. This page’s demonstration is neither a finished system nor a fixed-price promise.
Start with business objectives, website structure and the workflow that needs a better experience.
