Solution

Restructure and redesign the trading software’s navigation.

Current Designs

I first reviewed the current designs for the top navigation bar and left sidebar menu of both trading software.

Trading Software 1

Card sorting

I separated each page onto a note, tagged each note with what trading items it primarily affected, then tried different groupings of the cards to find a combination that made the most sense.

Sitemap

Based off the card sorting, I created three sitemaps, one for each of the three user roles.

Design

Basing my design off the components that had been created for our design system, I designed a new top navigation bar and leftside menu that worked for the trading software I was designing.

Trading Software 2

Design

After doing a similar reasearch process as I had done for the first software, I updated the top navigation bar and leftside menu I had created to work with the second trading software.
