Project Brief

PatentSafe Welcome Page Thumbnail

In late 2004, Amphora were bidding on contracts for large installations at prominent and established, international organisations. Amphora wanted to improve the branding of PatentSafe to convey the impression of an established and trustworthy product. PatentSafe needed a radical facelift to give the user interface an intuitive, polished and professional finish. The PatentSafe feature set was being expanded to meet the needs of the bids. Additionally, with the installed base growing from under 100 to nearer 1000 seats, scaling the user experience became critical to the success of the product. I was employed as the information architect and interface designer to deliver these enhancements.
