Admin: AGOG admin portal primarily focused on integrating holistic dashboards, support modules,Alerts,Ratings and data from all verticals in one place. It was designed for making the slightest edits or to configure the smallest inputs by AGOG admin in the app.

Structuring the information

Prioritized user fulfillment and created IA considering user explicit necessities

Structuring the information
WIREFRAMES

Once we had the IA finalized after iterations, we started with wireframes, Below are the high fidelity of wireframes which were created and later pushed to Visual design stage. Keeping in mind all the above points, we need to ensure that the pain points and the opportunity of each persona was addressed. We ensured an extremely smooth and straightforward onboarding process, trailed by an exceptionally natural, dynamic and outwardly rich landing page. Besides, we ensured a wide range of clients have a consistent encounter through different modules, while making the point of interaction as straightforward and direct with the goal that clients wouldn’t need to think excessively.
