10 rules to make a great dashboard or homepage

I wrote a post on the Meniga blog about 10 rules or ways to build a great dashboard for online banks.

Although some of them are specific to the financial world most of them are guides that you could use for pretty much any dashboard or any homepage for that matter.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should
Think about mobile first
Identify the top tasks
Analyze the behavior
Spend 80% of your time on 20% of your features
Bring out the message and task at hand
Help customers understand their finances
Adapt to your customer
Test your users and test them often
Don’t fear change

Video I took of Meniga.is being announced as the Best Icelandic Website of 2010 at the Icelandic Web Awards. Followed with a shaky part of me and the Meniga team accepting the award :)

Here’s what the awards panel had to say about meniga.is

“The best website of 2010 is not only exemplary when it comes to interaction design and usability but also when it comes to ingenuity and education found on the website.

Meniga has followed closely with what has been happening in the world of PFM and built a best of breed solution based on best practice. A notable factor as the website is also an important sales and acquisition tool. Meniga has resolved all these challenges very well.”

When Usability and UxD pays off

Our Best of Show Award

I’m standing outside in the cold London night looking for a Taxi. Adrenaline still rushing through my veins and for some reason I just can’t stop smiling… I feel like a kid on xmas, only sheer exhaustion keeps me from jumping up and down. In my bag is an award for Best of show at Finovate Europe 2011.

The past hours went by so fast… I’m trying to gather my thoughts and re-playing all the conversations I just had in my head. Show’s over folks, it’s time to go home.

Seven minutes to shine

My company, Meniga, was very fortunate to be one of the select few to present at Finovate Europe. An interesting concept where 35 of the most innovative companies in financial eBusiness technology get to demo their products on stage for seven minutes. Followed with the opportunity to network with the 400+ attendees, including banks, analysts & reporters.

The moment we got off stage we knew that our seven minute demo was a success. I immediately pulled out my mobile and starting reading the comments on Twitter… and boom!
