Solbits Software came to me with a unique problem over the summer of 2014. They wanted a better way to manage their retirement funds. I took on the challenge and worked with their team to determine the most user-friendly way to do that. We began by mapping out the user flow and screens. Then tested this flow with real users. Once this was nailed down, we moved into the design work. I created a style guide we used through the MAC OS app and the website. Each element had to be friendly without looking like the standard UI. Special attention was given to the minor details to help promote understanding with users.

Solbits took care of all the development side. Once this was completed, we tested with users again to ensure that we hadn’t missed anything and landed on the right solution. Beta testers were thrilled with the display of information and ease-of-use, minus a few tweaks. I highly recommend purchasing the app if you truly want a better way to manage your retirement.
