Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne (PSE) is the national electricity transmission system operator, operating in over 1,000 municipalities across Poland. As part of its activities, PSE is implementing the latest edition of the ‘Strengthen Your Environment’ programme. The programme aims to support local communities through grants for projects that improve the quality of life of residents and protect the environment.
The ‘Strengthen Your Environment’ programme was developing dynamically, and the existing website no longer met the needs of users. The main challenges included:
The aim of the project was to create a modern, functional and clear website that would effectively guide users through the entire process – from submitting an application to implementing and settling the grant.
We began work on the project with detailed workshops with the client, which allowed us to gain an in-depth understanding of the needs of the programme participants and the key challenges of the old website. On this basis, we planned the next stages of work, including UX and UI design and development.
Thanks to a well-conducted discovery phase, the entire process ran smoothly, and the client had full control over its progress. The new website was designed to intuitively guide users through each stage of the programme – from applying for a grant to settling it.
Check out how we created a website promoting CSR activities for Polskie Sieci Energetyczne (Polish Power Grid).

The discovery stage resulted in a complete understanding of the user journey and the identification of key functionalities that the new website should include.
At this stage, the following were created:
Based on the conclusions from the workshops, we started working on the UX part. Thanks to well-defined needs, we focused on ideating solutions that respond to them.
We set our priorities and moved on to designing mock-ups, which included:
After approving the UX mock-ups, we moved on to designing the visual layer of the website. It was crucial to maintain clarity and consistency with the nature of the programme and to provide users with intuitive access to information.
The outcomes of this stage are:
During the programming stage, we opted for WordPress to ensure easy website operation for the client.
The implementation included:
