Challenge
The client approached us to design a web application from scratch, aiming to simplify tax calculations for S-corporations and move away from manual Excel spreadsheets. We addressed key challenges: Simplifying Tax Data Visualization: Designed a user-friendly interface using clear visual hierarchies, intuitive color coding, and contrast-based data representation to make complex tax data easy to understand. Streamlining Excel Data Imports: Created a guided, step-by-step import flow with tooltips to help users transition their data from spreadsheets effortlessly. Categorizing Expenses Effectively: Developed and tested workflows to accurately align user expense entries with tax categories, ensuring precision and usability.
Our approach
We applied a structured process to deliver a successful project: In-depth Research: Explored the tax domain, conducted competitor analysis, and performed user research to map user flows and define personas. Wireframing & Moodboarding: Created wireframes and mood boards to finalize the application structure and visual direction. UI/UX Design: Designed a high-fidelity UI with a scalable design system and a clickable prototype for testing. Design Handoff: Provided developers with a style guide, documentation, and animation guidance for seamless implementation. Ongoing Support: Continued collaboration with developers, refining designs and supporting new features during development.
Results achieved
The application is still in development, but we’ve achieved significant milestones. Our team created a user-centric design that simplifies tax complexities for S-corporations, earning positive feedback from the client for our transparent and collaborative approach. The prototype is ready for development, with our team providing ongoing support for new features. Tackling the challenging domain of taxation, we exceeded expectations by delivering an intuitive solution from scratch. This highlights the strength of our process and expertise in SaaS design. Unlike freelancers, we act as partners, deeply understanding the client’s business to deliver exceptional, tailored results.
