Developing a User-Centric Website for the Network Simulation Bridge (NSB)

The Network Simulation Bridge (NSB) is a powerful co-simulation framework, but its current onboarding experience creates a barrier for new users due to fragmented documentation, absence of a clear “first success” path, and setup complexity. This project aims to design and develop a user-centric website that transforms onboarding into a structured and intuitive flow. The core focus is enabling users to run a working NSB example quickly through a quickstart-first approach, followed by progressive introduction of concepts, configuration, and simulator integration. The solution includes building a complete website with a guided Get Started system, reorganized documentation, and clearly defined learning paths, along with a progressive simulator integration strategy that begins with a simplified environment before moving to full simulator workflows. Key deliverables include a deployable NSB website with structured navigation, a guided onboarding flow centered on first success, unified documentation migrated from the repository, and tutorials with progressive learning pathways, validated through user testing and iteration. This project will reduce onboarding friction, improve usability, and make NSB more accessible to students, researchers, and developers.
