Skilli
Problem
Most parents want their children to grow up smart, successful, independent, etc. The list of such properties can take a long time, but parents usually don’t have time and necessary educational skills.
In the digital era our lives have become better and impactful. However, the coin has another side. Gadgets completely capture children's attention, making them "digital addicts", because this is the easiest way to get dopamine. In the US, the term "gadget addiction" is well-established. According to experts, in developed countries gadget addiction will soon be the first in top-list, leaving behind smoking and alcoholism.
How should children develop useful skills in cleaning, hygiene, doing homework on time, etc.? This issue is solved by Skilli, a new generation assistant in the main children education and development areas.
Solution
Skilli App is built in a way that a child and a parent have a common game for completing daily tasks and achieving the child's goals. In this way a child has a system and knows what and when they should do.
Skilli helps children develop useful skills, such as cleaning, doing homework, doing sports, washing dishes, waking up on time, reading, etc.
Skilly reduces time spent in gadgets, helps a child realize the value of time and money, teaches them to plan a budget, encourages independence and responsibility for actions. Now a child always knows when it’s free time and it’s allowed to play at the moment. A child doesn’t ask for money and doesn’t spend all the time in front of the TV and computer screen. Skilli gives opportunity to do a variety of useful things that help achieve goals. The system is the basis of success.
As a result, children grow up independent, happy and successful.
How the app works
1) You create a to-do list for your child for each day: you can set regular tasks, tasks for the day or a specific time.
2) You assign a reward in coins and set big goals. S-coins is the local currency. 1 s-coin is equal to 1 minute in gadgets or the number of rubles assigned at the exchange rate.
3) A child complite tasks and saves S-coins while playing. Each task has its own price in s-coins and main tasks have animated stickers to make it more interesting for a child.
4) The most important thing is a child decides themselves how to spend honestly earned coins. After all, you need to develop the ability to achieve goals from an early age. This is how your child will be successful!
Features
Cute animated character attracts children's attention.
The simple ergonomic interface is easy to understand for children from 4 years old.
Parents see statistics on their children's activity and achievement of goals.
About the method
The service is based on the author's method of the customer, the Dashkovs. Within 2 years before launching the app Dashkov implemented and improved this system in his family (he has four children) and then in some relatives and friends families.
The Skilli system works like this: a parent initially agrees with a child about things they want to do and what they want to get for them. Then the parent suggests that the child take a number of other additional tasks, such as housework. It is very important at this stage to explain to the child that these things are important for the parent, and therefore the parent is ready to encourage the child through the currency "S-coins", which he can later exchange for time to play gadgets or surf the web. Also "S-coins" can be exchanged for cash to buy something for their behalf. This interaction, among other things, strengthens the parent-child teacher-student relationship. But the most important benefit is that the child becomes more independent, responsible and purposeful through conscious learning and action, laying the groundwork for their future success in adult life.
There is no limit to perfection, but we can help our children become better just by playing a game called Skilli.
AI platform for recruiting developers and teams with tinder mechanics. Head.z
At the beginning of 2020, we have designed and developed Head.z, the first HR Tinder-like service in the IT-field. After a year of successful operation of the service the customer collected a lot of user requests and decided on a global update. In the fall of 2020, we designed a new user interface 2.0 that is more user-friendly.
The essence of the service
Head.z creates the perfect pair developer-company, taking into account the wishes and capabilities of both parts. The platform has a multi-criteria training algorithm that selects suitable pairs which saves time and nerves on both sides.
Problem
Any developer at least once faced difficulties in finding a suitable job: a bad and unsystematic job description, annoying HR agents with muddy and not specific offers. And if there is work, then there are difficulties with parallel search for a more interesting place, because it is usually impossible to be openly placed on sites.
The company has similar problems when searching for a good candidate: for example, you need a senior, and juniors respond to the vacancy. This is followed by labor-intensive processing of responses in the HR funnel. Contacts of good, but already employed developers are not available, although the company is ready to make a more tempting offer.
Solution
The Head.z Service allows developers to search for work anonymously and systematically, without overloading them with inappropriate offers.
The developer specifies the desired position, indicates what skills and at what level he owns, specifies the parameters of the desired type and place of work, as well as his previous work experience. The platform selects suitable vacancies, the developer notes which ones are liked and which are not, and with each like the platform better "understands" the candidate's preferences and offers vacancies that meet their expectations. In a nutshell, Head.z creates a portrait of the developer's preferences not based on their statements about them, but based on their reaction to suggestions.
For employers, the platform selects the most suitable and interested candidates, reducing the usual HR funnel by 10-100 times, while increasing the absolute number of good developers.
And most importantly, the developer's contacts are opened to the company only after a mutual like. Reciprocity is the foundation of long-term relationships.
Features
The service interface is designed almost in real time, based on analytical data about usage scenarios. Programmers are a non-standard target audience, and their behavior patterns in interfaces sometimes differ significantly from the relatively average mass. In this regard, a design system of elements that are used to assemble screen components has been created and maintained. By the end of 2020, a number of scenarios were " settled”, and therefore a redesign was made, the design system was updated, and new elements were added. But the new interface is not the end, but another step in the success story of this startup.

Internet bank User Interface "Uralsib"
In 2012, a dynamically developing bank offered us to take part in a long-term and interesting project - the creation of a new version of their Internet bank (in their language - RBS).
It was an offer that could not be refused, and we, of course, accepted it.
At that time, the design of the RBS was outdated, but work was already underway to improve it (the designers proposed a general concept). However, the release was still far away. After all, there were so many screens that had to be thought out that even in the contract no one could list them. Therefore, the work was carried out (and is being carried out in 2016) in the best traditions of Agile - sprints.
Each sprint brings new tasks, new functionality, new challenge. This is how good products are made.
How the work on the project works
Our task in the project is to create good UX. Convenience in Internet Banking is task number 1, therefore, for the start, we took the already approved design concept as a basis, finished drawing and began to develop it. Development is ongoing, so as of 2016, only a couple of elements remain from the original design. And in 2020, only a couple of elements from the 2016 design will remain - this is normal, this is a move forward.
On the part of the customer, a whole department works with us (a separate gratitude to each employee of the department who is able to translate the wishes of the bank's management into an understandable language). Our team in the project is represented no less worthy: designer (1-2 pcs.), Illustrator, ux-specialist, layout designer, art director (the same one) and project manager.
As a rule, a team's work consists of 3 key stages: interface prototyping (UX), design rendering (UI) and layout.
At each stage, the art director and the project manager follow the general progress of the work. It helps to keep track of - the task system and the version control system.
In total, more than 200 layouts for various pages have been created and supported. All layouts are professionally typeset (html + css + js) for the convenience of bank developers and demonstration of the behavior of some elements (lists, buttons, pop-up windows, calculators, graphs, etc.)
The work is carried out, as is customary in our company, through a system of tasks. However, this system was not enough to maintain order in graphic layouts and their layout. From about 42nd layout, we were concerned about "the main question of Life, the Universe and Everything Else": how to cope with so many layouts and maintain a single style in each new interface created?
There is a question - there is a solution!
Techinform programmers came to the aid of the designers. They wrote a web application in RubyOnRails that displays the current layout and, using the Git version control system, monitors each change that is attached to the corresponding task.
This is how we help Uralsib bank programmers not to miss a single change in any of the 200+ project layouts. Especially when old layouts are being updated. Each layout is represented on the main page as a thumbnail, and outdated layouts are sent to the archive, but access to them is preserved.
The current version is always at hand for all parties of the project! Conveniently? Yes.
We'll cover some of the 200 layouts, since it's impossible to cover everything.
The best way to evaluate our work is to become a client of the bank and see everything with your own eyes in a real, as the client says, combat version of RBS.
Home page - through thorns to the light
The login page is the first thing that RBS clients see. This is the same dress that is used to meet.
It was initially complicated and incomprehensible. The emphasis was placed on the informational part, and the creators did not have enough attention on the entry block, which is the main block of the page.
The page underwent 3 redesigns before getting a decent look and feel.
See what happened and how it became.
It has become much better, but there is no limit to perfection. In 2016, the page underwent another redesign, already within the framework of the updated style - and became even more modern and pleasant.
This is how the entrance to the Uralsib Internet Bank looks like in 2016. Modern trends are reflected in the new home page. We will follow the innovations and implement them later.
Dashboard - home of the site user
If the main page of the site is a person, then the dashboard is the brain of the product being developed.
We were faced with the task of combining the incompatible: the requirements of each of the higher departments of the bank were so contradictory that it was impossible to satisfy everything 100% ... But we could!
And the main reason for this success is competent UX, which is a pleasure to defend for our art director.
The dashboard, like the main page, underwent several cardinal plastic surgeries before it took on a finished look.
The first approach is to redesign the old dashboard. We kept the elements in their usual, albeit inconvenient (from the UX point of view) places, redesigning each of them. This is how the first RBS users saw it in 2013.
But the work did not stop. The new functionality created unresolvable block collisions and required a redesign of the block layout concept. The cards have lost a bit of their weight in favor of auxiliary blocks - recent operations, templates, promo banners, analytics block, etc. One of the intermediate iterations was published, but it was not perfect either. Solving the newly set tasks, we continued to optimize the page and came to the right (in the picture above) option.
Considering the speed of development of RBS, this option will not be final, but at the end of 2016 Internet bank users will enjoy the convenience of just such a dashboard.
Own UI Kit is the key to success
In order not to get confused and not "reinvent the wheel" for each UX case - we have developed a list of basic elements (UI Kit) and we try to implement all new UX mechanisms through the prism of already developed elements.
Moreover, the layout of each element is placed in a separate file, so, for example, the color of an inactive button in one place, it changes in the layout on all 200+ layouts. This allows you to keep the layout of all layouts up to date.
The picture above does not show all the elements, but this is enough to understand the main thing - we approach the issue of maintaining a uniform style across the entire interface very seriously.
Icons are an illustrator's delight
To make the interface even more friendly, you need to make it not only convenient and logical, but also beautiful. At some points, the use of a visual image turns out to be the most optimal solution (with or instead of text), accelerating the user's understanding of the interface. So we come to the decision to create new icons.
Only part of the icons in the illustration. In total, more than 100 different icons have been drawn in all kinds of sizes.
All icons are created by different illustrators, but in the same style. We have achieved this thanks to the well-coordinated work of the art director with designers and clear rules of the chosen style.
Design trends are changing. How to be?
Every year, the vector of development of interfaces is adjusted and slightly changes direction. We closely follow all innovations in the industry and try to use them in our work for our clients.
As of 2016 (over 4 years of development), the design concept has started to become outdated - this is normal. The average life of a design is 2-3 years.
We have chosen a new vector of development for subsequent RBS layouts - the popular flat. Having adapted it to the current design, we presented what the RBS would look like in the end and began multi-stage work. We cannot change the RBS all at once, so the transition is smooth and imperceptible for the end user (and, interestingly, for the client). New screens are drawn in an updated style, old screens change gradually, element by element.
To be continued
The Internet bank is constantly evolving, follow the news. Remember, the best product can never be finished. It must develop along with the industry, so our clients stay with us for a long time. We are always ready not only to improve the UX, but also to come up with various creative concepts.
