The Challenge
Finodex creates tools which are backed by analysis that helps users strategize and invest in the stock market. The team needed to build an application that provided an easy way to access and use varied investment tools from the perspective of different investors. Increased access required the application to be responsive across different platforms while ease of use required the implementation of superior design features which could make the tools consumable and insightful.
Empowering traders and investors through the diverse features of the portal was both a challenge and a goal envisioned by the leadership.
Our Methodology
At Think Design our roadmap to design is guided by gathering key stakeholder insights and creating a design strategy as we begin. Thought which leads to actions provides strategy a way ahead to guide the design considerations, the workflow, information architecture and the creation of visual concepts thereby.
The requirement for this application was tablet first. Keeping that in mind, the design process began with initial brainstorming sessions and continued with ideation, conceptualization and navigation explorations. The wireframes were created from low-fidelity prototypes with various options to choose from.
As an investment application, Infographics enable the user in visualizing all the products and provides an overview of the financial trends. Achieving consistency in visual language was kept as an important part of the design process.
