Centible is a student financing app aiming to help students track and categorize their transactions. The website aimed to increase brand awareness and promote our app. Since the development of our site, it has helped result in more than 250+ active users on Centible since its release onto the App Store in December 2023.
The Problem
The current website for Centible has functionality issues and usability issues that negatively affect the user experience.

How might we revamp Centible's website to boost functionality, accessibility, and product marketing, captivating our audience and driving market interest?

Solution
We are redesigning the website to enhance user engagement, build more effective communication, and strengthen our online presence and brand alignment.
Branding Guide
Centible's brand guide has evolved since the start of the project, and I wanted to keep it consistent with the app logo.
Starting the Redesign
We started the redesign process and followed the process below:

1. Gather and Familiarize the Content

2. Create. Specify. Simplify. Organize.

3. Involve Users

Research and Competitive Analysis
An analysis of other websites gave validation to what patterns users and companies already use.

We specifically liked Structured's flow of information and consistent color pallete with its app, and Uber's organizational layout, typography, and use of design elements.
