challange
Leveraging the bear market
The decrease in mining activity during the cryptocurrency industry's bear market, provided a window of opportunity to implement changes without disrupting ongoing operations.
The objective was clear: to enhance the overall user experience, improve visual aesthetics, and introduce new features that will distinguish the platform from its competitors.
We conducted a thorough review of an old design and identified persistent issues. Subsequently, we engaged in brainstorming and ideation sessions to generate a diverse array of potential solutions. Our plan encompasses specific design objectives, a defined timeline, and an enumeration of tasks to be executed by the team.
Old Nicehash designs / the challenge…
Wireframes
Simplifying complexity with clear information
The wireframes were designed to clearly display important information such as current mining progress, hash rates, and earnings and make it easy for users to configure their mining settings and manage their accounts. Additionally, the wireframes included integrating the NiceHash exchange and a mobile app to enhance user accessibility and convenience.
UI style guide
Achieving visual cohesion
By creating a style guide first, we ensured that all design decisions were in line with the overall aesthetic and brand of the platform, resulting in a cohesive and polished final product. Additionally, using a style guide also helps make the development process more efficient and consistent, allowing developers to reuse pre-defined components and styles.
Design System & Components
Examples of modules used across the Design Systems.
upgraded mining tool
Optimizing mining experience
Before the makeover, managing mining was only possible through direct access to the mining rig. With the new upgrade, mining can now be managed on the website and mobile apps, making it more convenient and efficient for users to monitor and control their mining operations. The redesign has resulted in an aesthetically pleasing and up-to-date platform, enhanced filtering options, a more comprehensive overview and improved navigational capabilities, thus facilitating a more streamlined and efficient user experience.
mobile app
Cryptocurrency on-the-go
Creating a mobile app was critical to enhancing user accessibility and convenience. Optimised for iOS and Android, the app has become an integral part of our platform, offering users the convenience and flexibility they need to stay connected to their mining operations and allowing them to access and use NiceHashs features anywhere, at any time.
adding a Cryptocurrency EXCHANGE
Maximizing trading opportunities through real-time market data
A clean and intuitive layout was implemented to facilitate easy navigation and access to information when using an exchange for crypto trading. The inclusion of charts and real-time pricing data was designed to provide users with a comprehensive market overview. Additionally, the exchange has been fully optimized for all devices, with a particular emphasis on responsiveness.
RESULTS & impact
Successful redesign leads to increased efficiency
The redesign successfully achieved its goals, improving users' efficiency and user-friendliness. It helped to attract new users and retain existing ones, leading to the overall growth of the platform.
In the year of the redesign launch, the company had become the no.1 company in Slovenia in terms of created value per employee.
