Business challenge
Yuki, an accounting software company operating in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain, faced a significant challenge during an ambitious code migration project. The mission was to enhance the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) to modernize the platform and create a scalable, consistent design system. This required designing a solution that addressed usability, consistency, and accessibility while catering to developers across multiple countries.

Strategic approach
To address the identified challenges systematically, we adopted a strategic approach aimed at creating a cohesive, user-friendly, and accessible design:
Audit the platform: Evaluated the current UI to identify components, patterns, and pain points.
Categorize elements: Grouped UI components into categories like navigation, tables, and forms.
Gather feedback: Used stakeholder and user insights to prioritize improvements.
User Pain Points
Inconsistent Design: The platform’s existing UI was cluttered and lacked consistency across different elements and screens.
Lack of Clarity: Users struggled with unclear navigation, inconsistent data tables, and form elements, leading to confusion and inefficiencies.
Outdated Visuals: The design didn’t align with modern user expectations or technical advancements, creating a dated look and feel.
Limited Accessibility: The platform lacked focus on accessibility, making it difficult for some users to interact with the software.
