Mortgage Market Guide Members Site Redesign:
My Role: Lead UI/UX Designer
Scope: End-to-end redesign (user flows, wireframes, usability strategy)
The Challenge
The existing members site contained highly valuable, time-sensitive information—but users struggled to:
Quickly locate real-time bond quotes
Stay on top of mortgage repricing alerts
Efficiently consume housing market news
The experience was information-heavy, but not optimized for speed, clarity, or usability—which are critical in a fast-moving financial environment.
The Goal
Redesign the platform to make key information:
Immediately visible
Easier to access
Faster to understand
My Approach
1. User Flow Optimization
I mapped out how users interacted with the platform to identify friction points and inefficiencies. This helped uncover where critical information was being buried or overlooked.
2. Wireframing & Structure
I created wireframes that prioritized:
High-value, real-time data
Clear content hierarchy
Streamlined navigation
3. Usability-First Design Decisions
I focused on reducing home page clutter:
Grouping related information logically
Improving scanability of dense financial data
Elevating alerts and time-sensitive content
Key Design Improvements
Repositioned real-time bond quotes and alerts to be front-and-center
Simplified navigation to reduce the number of steps to key content
Improved visual hierarchy to guide user attention
Designed layouts that made complex data easier to digest at a glance
The Outcome
The redesigned experience allowed users to:
Access critical information faster
Make quicker, more informed decisions
Navigate the platform more intuitively
The platform evolved from a dense information hub into a streamlined, user-focused tool built around clarity and efficiency.
