Main focus of our UX/UI design 

Based on the results of our brainstorming session and thorough analysis of competitors and user feedback, we have prioritized the following areas of focus:

  • ensuring readability, clarity, and effective contrast of the overall design; 

  • implementing gamification elements to encourage users to provide the extensive data required for generating accurate reports;

Our approach .

The client came to us with the request to deliver this project within tight timeframes and we agreed as we pride ourselves on our ability to work quickly and efficiently. Our fast-paced work style doesn't compromise on quality; rather, it enables us to meet deadlines while maintaining a high standard of work.

By actively incorporating the client's feedback, we ensured that all concerns or adjustments were addressed promptly and the final product was aligned with their vision and expectations.

Building overview & engaging forms

The platform offers a user-friendly experience, allowing property owners to easily add their buildings for access to insightful analytical data. Adding a building involves completing a comprehensive form with essential information, ensuring the accuracy of subsequent reports. 

To enhance user engagement, we've introduced the gamification element.  A progress bar keeps track of form completion, and each step is supported by clear explanations, illuminating the value of the provided data in analyzing property revenue potential.  

Additionally, timely notifications will gently remind users to revisit and complete the form. After adding all the buildings users own, they can have a convenient list or card view with all the core details with the future revenue possibilities.

Comprehensive dashboard

Once a user has completed the form, the system will generate comprehensive reports and revenue predictions for each individual building. These reports can be conveniently accessed through the insightful dashboard we created. Our team has gone the extra mile to ensure that the data is visually presented in a clear and easy-to-understand manner, with highly visible and readable charts. 

Furthermore, users can also assess and examine buildings that share similar characteristics based on the information provided. This helps to ensure the relevance and accuracy of the data, fostering a trustworthy and loyal attitude towards the platform.

The dashboard provides access to all the essential reports related to a specific building, allowing investors to analyze and evaluate the potential revenue that can be generated from the property, as well as the positive impact it can have on CO2 reduction. Additionally, users have the option to easily download the full reports to their own device. 

To unlock the complete view of the analytical data, users can choose to subscribe to the paid platform, which grants them different levels of access.
