About Devil's Den

About Devil's Den

Devil’s Den is a unique natural spring located within an underground cave in Florida. Since opening to the public in 1993, it has evolved from a modest scuba diving site into a world-class tourist destination. The site is celebrated not only for its breathtaking geological formations but also for its rich prehistoric significance.

Breaking down the goal

Breaking down the goal

To guide our product, we created the following refined problem statement and list of goals:


Problem Statement: Devil Den’s existing website no longer reflects the immersive experience and natural beauty of the spring itself. With outdated visuals, limited user flow, and a lack of engaging elements, the site falls short in capturing user interest and communicating the brand's identity. A redesign was needed to enhance the overall user experience, increase engagement, and bring the brand to life through modern, cohesive design.
