HTML prototype development for a global broking company

I helped a well-known Covent Garden-based digital agency to develop an HTML prototype for a global broking company's new website.

Overview

The client’s existing website had an outdated visual design as well as poor information architecture resulting in an overall lacklustre user experience.

Objectives

The main objectives of the redesign were:

  • Refresh the website look and feel
  • Reposition the company as a leader in their field
  • Reposition the company as customer-facing rather than technocentric
  • Encourage a sense of community
  • To increase the number of service enquiries
  • To have more control over content by migrating to a new CMS

There was a limited budget and timeline for the project so considerations for mobile and tablet-specific experiences were unfortunately out of scope.

Challenges

The main challenges included:

  • Understanding the content (the world of Interdealer broking is rather complicated)
  • Creating a user-focused IA to replace the existing company-centric taxonomy
  • Creating an intelligent product finder
  • Revising the current contact functionality

Key prototype features

The key features of the prototype included:

  • Working examples of key user interactions such as carousels, tabbed content, navigation
  • Clickable main navigation to allow us to demonstrate key user journeys
  • Page-level annotations
  • Module annotations
  • HTML output
  • PDF output

The prototype was used to demonstrate the UX vision in-situ to the client as well as provide a reference point for the internal design and development teams as the project progressed.
