NovaPulse Analytics project overview

Overview

NovaPulse is an illustrative analytics product used to demonstrate how djgraphix approaches dashboard design: hierarchy first, decoration last.

The problem

The existing dashboard displayed every metric at equal weight. Users could not tell what changed since yesterday without exporting data.

Objective

Design a dashboard where the most important movement is visible in under five seconds and secondary detail is one click away.

Research & strategy

We mapped the daily routine of three user types — founder, ops lead and account manager — and ranked the questions each asked most often.

Wireframes

Low-fidelity layouts tested a 'headline metrics + one hero chart' structure against the previous dense grid. The simpler structure won in every walkthrough.

Visual direction

A deep purple navigation rail anchors the interface while content stays white and quiet. Colour is reserved for data and status.

Final design

Four KPI cards, a revenue overview, revenue-by-product breakdown and a recent transactions table — nothing else on the default view.

Responsive screens

On tablet the rail collapses to icons; on mobile KPI cards stack and the table becomes a card list.

Design decisions

  • Removed 11 secondary widgets from the default view
  • Introduced a single accent colour for positive movement
  • Standardised table density across the product

Results & impact

This is an illustrative concept project. Verified client results are not available, so no performance claims are shown.
