DPR's Mortgage Bench is a B2B platform linking Mortgage Intermediaries with multiple Mortgage Lenders. The suite provides a complete product sourcing and processing solution for packagers, networks and other mortgage intermediaries. Mortgage Bench users have at their fingertips an online check of all products offered by participating financial service providers.
Mortgage Bench is the second project circa82 helped carry out for DPR (after their corporate website). DPR requested a restyling/reskinning of one of their flagship products Mortgage Bench and they had a pretty good idea in what they wanted. There were four main parts to the project:
After an initial "layout" design was produced, concept work began. The design needed to be crisp and easy to use. Different colour combinations were produced, with the green & blue combo being the favourite. Certain screens were then mocked up and the XHTML (& CSS) was produced for each screen.
A set of icons were needed for the user navigation, and needed to have an individual styling. The first batch had quite a lot of detail, and when scaled down to the 48x48 size became a bit messy. Certain details were removed to give a cleaner look. All the icons were produced in a vector format.
DPR provided a simple mock up of the logo, and requested circa82 to provide a fully scalable high resolution version. Everything was redrawn (as well as being adjusted) in Illustrator.
