The Challenge
Showcase all partner integrations offered by Movable Ink in a standalone, interactive online marketplace allowing users to explore each integration’s key features and capabilities.
Our Approach
Due to a fairly aggressive timeline, we opted to implement an approach where multiple parts of the project would be developed in parallel, such as content development and style guide creation. This would allow us to meet the launch date without compromising design or execution and allow for ample time for all facets of the project, from wireframes to development and implementation.
Wireframes
In the wireframe phase, we intentionally avoid the use of color of graphics not to distract us from the intent of this phase: establish content hierarchy, overall layout, and structure. Each module is represented using a greyscale block to isolate a content segment or black text floating on a white background. In this phase, the flow of content, over user flow and interaction, is established.
After the main page had been crafted, secondary and sub-pages follows:
visual design phase
Once all wireframes had been approved, and the overall content structure and flow of content had been defined; we enter the visual design phase. In this phase, all content modules are refined based on the brand’s style guide, color palette, typographic style, and treatment and visual identity.

The Outcome
CHALLENGES & LEARNS
Time constraints, along with various teams working across multiple time zones, proved to be quite a challenge. However, breaking the project into various parts with a single point of contact assigned to managing each part resulted in the project’s overall success and on-time delivery.
