ShareInvestor.com is long overdue for a technology refresh. We are revamping the entire website so that we can provide all our subscribers with the best experience possible. This will also set up a strong foundation for us to introduce new features and functionality into the website in future.
A key goal in this revamp is to improve the overall user interface and user experience.
- The navigation should be intuitive to users so that they spend lesser time trying to find the information they need.
- It must be mobile friendly and accessible to all modern devices
- The website content should be easy to read
In addition, the way people are consuming data has changed. Instead of just words, some contents are more easily explained through visualisation. We have introduced more data visualisation to make it easier for subscribers to understand the complex financial data and we will continue to do so in future.
There is a major change to the portfolio management system. We have decided to make a clear distinction between a Watchlist and a Portfolio. In the past your Portfolio serves as your watchlist, since you can add counters to your Portfolio. However this limits what we can present in tracking your portfolio performance.
In the new Portfolio, only counters with transactions can be added. We have also added a “Cash” component in the Portfolio. As you add your past transactions into the Portfolio, one clear benefit that you will see is the ability of the system to track your ROI, historical performance and money allocation accurately.
Lastly, under the hood, we are adopting some of the latest web technologies. This will lay a strong foundation for future enhancements and improvements.
This revamp will be undertaken in multiple phases and the public preview is just the first phase. In Phase 2 and beyond, we have already planned to add more exciting features to the website. Stay tuned!
