Montagu Evans

The brief

My first proper project at my last agency position was to improve the User Interface design for a HR application currently being build for Montagu Evans using the Outsystems low-code platform.

The brief from my employers was to simply take the HR application and make the interface look more professional as the out-of-the-box implementation done by the development team using Outsystems UI framework did not look professional enough or like a considered product.

The solution

Because of my late introduction to the project and the limitations of Outsystems as a platform for customised front-end development, my hands were somewhat tied in terms of being able to design a polished front-end.

So instead, I simply requested brand guidelines from the client and implemented as many brand assets as I could into the design. I also then took the opportunity to alter the layout of some of the screens and Outsystems components in order to generate a better user experience by placing key tools and functions in more accessible positions.
