UI Journey
The UI of the old website was outdated, had some accessibilty issues and a general low amount of graphics, and no UI of the Software itself.
Inspiration from competitors
High tax liabilities caused by reactive planning and missed incentive opportunities.
Adding Icons
There was a use of bootstrap icons that where not displaying. I replaced them with Interactive JSON Lottie animations. Keeping the design more consistent, with light interactivity.
Limited internal tax expertise
Insufficient in-house resources to identify and implement proactive tax strategies.
These challenges were impacting cash flow, limiting reinvestment opportunities, and creating uncertainty in financial forecasting.
Challenge
