The Result
In tackling the client’s key objective of overcoming their slow turnaround time, the Bluegrass team worked on redesigning and rebuilding both the backend and frontend design of The Index Standard site.
Using an iterative design process, the Bluegrass team also created a new corporate design that was user friendly and allowed potential clients to easily access forecasts, ratings and The Index Standard plans.
The Bluegrass team further improved The Index Standard user design by creating built-in functionality that easily onboards new clients and streamlines the payment subscription process.
