Project Overview:
USELY is an advanced accounting software that allows users to manage their finances from anywhere, whether on desktop, mobile devices or even through virtual reality (VR) headsets. The app is designed to make accounting processes as simple and efficient as possible.
The design of USELY follows a user centered philosophy, ensuring an intuitive and seamless user experience across all platforms. By integrating virtual reality technology, an immersive environment is created that revolutionizes the interaction with the accounting software.
Objective:
Many young entrepreneurs and solo freelancers, whether craftsmen, creatives or service providers, face the same problem: How can I quickly and professionally calculate my services directly for the client?
This is where USELY comes in. The biggest challenge was developing a web app that makes complex calculations fast, intuitive and mobile friendly, without the typical dry and overloaded character of traditional accounting software.
Challenges:
Real time calculation on mobile devices
Especially on small screens, it is challenging to display many fields and results clearly at the same time. We solved this issue with a smart sticky navigation that always provides access to key numbers like total price, taxes or profit.
From calculation to offer and onto the invoice
The entire process should be seamless. With just a few clicks, a live calculation can be turned into a professional offer and from that, an invoice. All without any media breaks.
Design that’s fun
Our goal was clear: accounting should not feel like accounting.
That’s why we developed a modern, dark UI with vibrant accents that is not only clearly structured but also visually enjoyable.
Bringing desktop and mobile together
The app works as a web app on all devices – whether at the desk or directly with the client on site. The design adapts seamlessly.
Design Process:
Before the first design was created, I took a close look at the market. I analyzed existing accounting software and quickly realized: Many are overloaded, confusing and simply not tailored to the needs of entrepreneurs or solo freelancers.
So I started traditionally with sketches on paper. These were then turned into structured wireframes, which were eventually transformed into a well thought out UI in Figma.
Clear process, close collaboration
I first developed the entire UX/UI concept and then presented it to the developer. After a joint kickoff meeting, development began. Throughout several milestones, I regularly checked the progress, provided direct feedback and ensured that the design was implemented exactly as planned without any detours.
User centered and intuitive
Even in the early stages, I spoke with numerous freelancers from craftsmen to graphic designers to photographers. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive: Especially the fast, intuitive operation and the reduced complexity were highly appreciated.
It was important to me that everyone regardless of technical know how could immediately understand how USELY works and start using it right away.
Outcome:
With USELY, we have created a solution that finally gives entrepreneurs, solo freelancers and service providers peace of mind. Instead of struggling with complicated accounting tools, they can now create a calculation on site with the client in just a few minutes, generate an offer from it and then immediately create an invoice.
The entire process is so intuitive that users feel confident right away. Especially for people without commercial know how, the topic of finance becomes tangible.
USELY puts an end to paper clutter, Excel sheets and uncertainty and brings clarity, speed and a positive feeling into the workday instead.
Key Achievements:
Intuitive UX design that reduces complexity
Even users without accounting knowledge can navigate easily. The interface is clear, logical and well thought out.
Seamless workflow from calculation to invoice
Within just a few clicks, offers and invoices can be created directly from a live calculation, completely without media breaks.
Cross platform usability
Whether on desktop, mobile or in the future in VR, USELY works across all devices with a consistent, optimal user experience.
Design that modernizes accounting
Modern, visually appealing UI with a clear focus on user friendliness and fun, without the typical bureaucratic look.
Incorporating real users
Regular feedback from entrepreneurs, craftsmen and creatives ensured that the app stays practical and relevant.
