Able Portal
Creating an interactive analytics dashboard
Context
As part of a larger product from Ineqe, the Able Portal is a dashboard which provides analytics and behind-the-scenes functionality for admins of schools and other businesses. Alongside our Senior Back-end Developer, I had the responsibility of designing the entire UI and front-end from scratch.
Role
UI Design / Front-end Development
Limitations
Coming in to this project as a new hire; I had very limited knowledge of the brand, or for the context of what I would be building — and with a relatively short deadline, I had to familiarise myself with the ecosystem very quickly.
Process
Analysing the existing platform and wireframes, I began restructuring the content into a much more intuitive and friendly layout. Whilst designing the UI, I had to ensure that I was creating easy-to-style, reusable components; as it had been decided that ReactJS would be used to build the dashboard.
Thoughts
The response to the finished product from both clients and colleagues was really well received!
I found this such an incredible opportunity to be able to design and help develop something that is actually live and working.
I would have loved to explore more design solutions, and test different layouts; but given the limited timeframe and small development team, I’m actually really proud of the final outcome.
