The Restart Project.
A charity focused on reducing electronic waste by teaching communities to repair and extend the lifespan of electronic devices.
Project Overview .
Client: The Restart Project
The Restart Project sought to enhance their Fixometer tool, a platform designed to measure the impact of community-led electronics repair efforts. Their goal was to improve usability, streamline data collection, and ensure the platform could scale effectively. To achieve this, we redesigned the user interface, refined its functionality, and migrated the system to Laravel, improving performance and maintainability.
These enhancements have made the Fixometer more accessible and intuitive, enabling volunteers and repair groups to contribute data with ease. The improved platform has strengthened The Restart Project’s ability to track repair trends, engage their community, and provide compelling data to support their advocacy for sustainable electronics. By transforming the Fixometer into a more robust and efficient tool, we have helped reinforce their mission to reduce electronic waste and promote a circular economy.

Updating the ‘Fixometer’ tool.
We carried out a UX assessment of the Fixometer, pinpointing key areas for improvement to enhance accessibility and usability. Following a comprehensive redesign, we refined its functionality and migrated the system to Laravel, ensuring better performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
These upgrades have established the Fixometer as a powerful hub for tracking community repair data, enabling The Restart Project to strengthen its outreach and advocacy. With a more intuitive and efficient platform, they can better engage volunteers, promote sustainable practices, and provide valuable insights to influence policy on electronic waste reduction.
