Challenge

The initial setup of realestate.com.au Home Loans did not include any refinance products. To grow the customer base, REA wanted to tap into the Refi market as well.

Solution

The calculator is the first entry point for potential Refi candidates. With only three inputs, we can calculate potential savings when moving the mortgage to realestate.com.au Home Loans. In addition to that, users can also play around with the calculations to see how a new home loan amount affect their potential repayments.

My role

  • Low and Mid-fi wireframes to define scope and requirements
  • Multiple remote and lab user tests to validate flows and usability
  • Interactive Axure prototype (incl. working calculations) to facilitate testing
  • Detailed visual and interaction design for responsive web
  • Facilitation of 30/60/90 reviews with company stakeholders
  • Development support throughout the delivery phase
