Case study Website & Dashboard design - Synergy IXS, NY

Webite & Dashboard UI/UX Design

Synergy IXS is a leading nationwide medical record service provider for the legal and insurance industries. Providing vital support services for more than 20 years to insurance companies and law firms. My work was to revamp their whole website along with their web application which provides a web-based record retrieval and management solution that greatly streamlines the process of requesting, retrieving, and organizing relevant medical records. It was a pleasure working on this project in medical domain.

Refining the brand (Color & Font)

The original branding (Logo & color theme) had already established quite a strong visual style which gave me a pretty good idea of what the website would look like. Using the brand as a guide website was designed along with the use of Didot and Calibri font typography.

For the content of the page below, we focused on the benefits of registering with Synergy showing potential customers how it is “Time Saving & Simple Process”, how it has “Cost Savings & Clear Outcomes” and last but not the least that it is a “Secure Web Portal”. These three being the core highlights on the homepage.

Information Architecture and Wireframe

The Synergy record retrieval and management platform facilitates the process of requesting, retrieving, and organizing records of users. Synergy easy-to-use web application that gives users unlimited online access to all tools and resources - anytime, from anywhere in the world. Keeping this in mind the whole IA of the website and the dashboard was done. Basically users will come online on Synergy IXS site and then can get the details after which they can either signup or login as a previous user and go to their dashboard interface which will have relevant links as shown in the IA (top-right).
