Quotes with the click of a button

User experience planning was critical to providing a forward-thinking company with an efficient, cutting edge online quoting system.

The brief

Aaduki is a market leader in providing insurance to photographers and videographers.

As a forward-looking company, our lead developer was asked to create the facility for customers to obtain online quotes. At the time, this was one of the first such systems of this type to be built!

The solution

An efficient multi-step process has been created to break up the information gathering process.

Thorough user experience planning and testing

Any entered information can be saved part-way supporting multiple visits

Behind the scenes, complex mathematical models calculate customer quotes from the data added

On acceptance of a quote, a user is filtered efficiently to payment

An automated scheduled email system then sends out renewal notices

The website has since undergone a facelift, with changes to the original web design. The simplicity of the online quoting system remains however, demonstrating the effectiveness of the original system put in place.

You can visit the Aaduki website by using the link shown below.

The impact

The introduction of the system – coupled with a comprehensive SEO/SEM campaign – directly translated to a reduction in man-hours sending renewal notices and handling phone calls.

Presenting a picture of the data

Designing an effective visual solution to display complex background maths calculations led to scripting in three different programming languages. The result was a web application to be used as a tool in the battle against diabetes.

The brief

A graphical solution was required to display data entered into an NHS funded online calculator for the Exeter University Living Systems Institute to show the probability of a child developing Type-1 diabetes later in life.

The calculations were complex, and the real-time interplay between the maths, user interface, and the graphical elements presented a challenge.

The solution

A simple uncluttered layout was designed so as to support ease of use for all users.

Three different programming languages used to create the final interface

Real-time interaction with the background calculations

Standard data entry inputs to ensure user familiarity (ie sliders, radio buttons and check boxes)

Simple use of colour and icons to support results output

This important tool supports the latest ground-breaking data in Diabetes research.

The impact

Whilst the appearance may be clean and uncluttered, the application has the opportunity to make a considerable impact on the battle against diabetes. Used as one of the tools available, an early warning predictor can allow individuals to make changes to avoid health issues later in life.

“Dan was able to quickly understand the scope of the project, and build up a working prototype. His contribution enabled us to display complex research data into a user-friendly graphical interface.”
