The brief#
Ben Guerir is a university town: students and staff of UM6P and the 1337 coding school need somewhere to work outside campus. RivoCowork opened the city’s first coworking space and needed a site people find, trust and book from, without calling first.
What we built#
- A website in French, English and Arabic. Arabic is fully right to left, with its own URLs and an Arabic typeface. The site picks the visitor’s language and falls back to French.
- Online booking of a shared desk, a dedicated desk, a private room or the group room, by the hour, half day, day or month. Slots someone else just took grey out live, and two people can never book the same place at the same time.
- A dashboard for the team: reservations, a calendar, spaces with their opening hours and closures, prices (with a preview and a history), reviews, admin accounts and an audit log. Bookings export to CSV.
Built for the day the internet is slow#
If the booking server cannot be reached, visitors get a WhatsApp link with their request already written. Confirmation emails go out in the customer’s language.
The result#
One place to see the space, check what is free and book it, and one dashboard to run it. The site launches once the final opening hours and prices are confirmed.
