Dow Jones  –  MarketWatch

For the first 7 months of 2011 I provided various interaction design services for Dow Jones' MarketWatch website. This has included everything from initial sketches, to low-res wireframes, high-res mockups, user flows and diagrams, and functioning demos and prototypes.

iPhone-optimized Mobile Prototype

Objectives

• Provide an iPhone-optimized experience for iPhone or Android mobile visitors
• Provide access to market data and news
• Optimize graphics and layout for iPhone dimensions
• Display screen interactions and navigation
• Develop a prototype of the site using jQuery mobile

Results

• This project is currently still in development
• The prototype however, can be viewed on an iPhone or Android-based touch-screen device

Inline Hover-quote Redesign

Objectives

• Analyze the current inline hover quotes with an eye for improving the user experience
• Incorporate ads into the quotes
• Utilize whitespace more effectively
• Use color to display the relative up or down real-time movement of the stock
• Shorten the length of the tickers to provide a less distracting user experience

Results

• User feedback indicates that this is a direct improvement over the old user experience
• These new hover quotes can be viewed by hovering over the stock ticker for any symbol mentioned in any MarketWatch article.
