Company Bio

FinHub is a startup in the fintech world born from crypto, investment and trading enthusiasts, an app to always keep an eye on the progress of your finances.

What we were asked

The collaboration with FinHub’s team started from the definition of the features of the product and the definition of the main use cases. The idea was to create a flexible and multi feature product, which would allow the user to range from the tracking of daily expenses in Oneclick mode, to the possibility of adding investment accounts with crypto and traditional assets, to the trading journal where to record all the trading operations.

We initially designed a brand that conveyed the idea of ​​innovation, solidity and openness to the new financial world.

We then kicked off an intense phase of wireframing in co-design mode, where the founders of FinHub could intervene mainly by giving us insight into the dynamics of calculations and logic desired for the digital product.

We created an InVision prototype that would give the possibility to touch and test the main interactions of the product.

What we did

Naming and branding: the initial phase saw an exploration of the concepts behind the project, and the identification of a name that fully reflected its spirit. Then we focused on the shape design of the logo itself, inspired by the concept of growth expressed by the histogram merged with the project’s identification letter, the F of FinHub.

We then kicked off the low-fidelity wireframing phase, defining the structure of the mobile application. With a weekly checkpoint we started a very intense co-design phase, during which we defined every little detail of the digital product.

Once a consistent and scalable structure had been designed, we started the design phase, based on the previously designed visual identity. The creation of a product that allowed to have a clear visual focus on the data, at the center of the project, meant that the choice fell on a look with a minimal cut, without frills, where the content is king.

The development phase involved the back end and front end team which for several months worked on consolidating the calculation logic and the architectural optimization of the product, and then developing the two semi-native mobile applications in flutter.

What we loved about this project

We love the FinTech world, for the constant innovation it brings into people’s lives. Being involved in this process from the beginning gave us great satisfaction both from the point of view of professional challenge and from the human point of view.

How does glueglue work and what are the areas of expertise?

We always start with a careful analysis of the customer's needs considering not only the product needs but also the medium and long-term business objectives.
As a first step, we often deal with the visual identity, evaluating the positioning by analyzing the competitor and identifying areas for improvement in terms of branding and image.
Then, we move on to the UX/UI area: we study the user experience of your product or service through a UX Review with 3 dedicated professionals to identify the points which it is necessary to act to improve the usability of the site or app examined.
In the following phase, we design the User Journey Map, i.e. the map of all the paths that the user follows, interacting with the product and the brand . Identifying all the contact points is of strategic importance in order to immerse ourselves in situations of real use and understand where value can really be created for the end user and therefore for the product.
We will then move on to the phase of creating the wireframes, with the sharing of an interactive prototype that will define the functionality and structure of each single page and interaction of the product.
Once the wireframes have been consolidated, we will move on to the design phase of the graphic interface, with attention paid to the smallest details in so as to ensure a positive and truly satisfying user experience.
At this point, our developers come into play for the implementation part. We use the most current technologies such as React, Flutter, Gatsby JS, Symfony, Node.JS and others to create products with high standards of quality and stability, working and pixel perfect.
