Eleken was an absolute pleasure to work with. The entire team was responsive, proactive, and genuinely invested in our success. Their engagement model is highly flexible and truly feels like having an on-staff UX designer embedded with the team.

Eleken’s designer became a true thinking partner, jumping in immediately, learning the product, identifying gaps, proposing clear alternatives, iterating quickly, and collaborating directly with our engineers to keep momentum high—often helping us see around corners we were missing. 
The entire engagement process was smooth end-to-end, communication was excellent, and the result is a cleaner, more cohesive UX that meaningfully leveled up our product. 
I highly recommend Eleken to any team looking to elevate their product design.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

I engaged the team to help revamp a complex research platform designed for investors. Initially, I had an existing platform for testing with early users, but it suffered from significant usability issues, leading to high drop-off rates. The primary goal was to enhance the user experience by improving workflows and simplifying the presentation of complex investment insights.

The team not only addressed these challenges but also introduced entirely new workflows that streamlined processes, improved navigation, and made the platform more intuitive for users. Their key contributions included:

• Redesign of User Workflows: Simplified and optimized user journeys to enhance engagement and reduce drop-off rates.
• Research and Data Pages: Designed pages that consolidate and present complex investment data in an accessible format.
• Project Management Dashboards: Created dashboards that facilitate efficient workflow management for users.
• Social Networking Tools: Developed features to foster better user connectivity and collaboration within the platform.
• Media and Content Pages: Improved media pages to effectively showcase insights, news, and relevant content.
• Restructuring Existing Features: Enhanced and restructured underperforming pages for greater usability and effectiveness.
• Ideation and New Features: Supported the conceptualization and design of new pages and features to meet evolving user needs.

Overall, their work resulted in a more cohesive, user-friendly platform that effectively meets the needs of investors, combining simplicity with functionality.

We partnered with Eleken to redesign our web application platform, starting with a thorough review of the current UX and identifying its issues. By researching our platform’s users, we developed an updated, user-centered interface that will serve our needs well into the future.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK
