Grey helps users send, receive, and convert foreign currencies with ease. I was responsible for designing and developing the Currency Exchange page, a key part of the user journey where users learn about Grey’s exchange rates and can interact with a live converter.
🎯 Goals
Clearly communicate how Grey’s currency exchange feature works.
Build trust with transparent, real-time exchange rate data.
Enable users to test conversions directly on the page.
Ensure mobile responsiveness and optimal performance.
🧠 My Process
UX/UI Design
I started by mapping out user goals: understand exchange rates, test conversions, and build confidence in the product. The design focused on clarity, trust, and ease of use. I created a flexible layout system that allowed for future updates without compromising consistency.
Key UI Elements:
Clear currency input fields with flags to serve as visual guides and responsive feedback
Modular sections that explain how the feature works
Trust signals like testimonials and FAQs placed strategically to reduce friction
FAQ section to answer users' questions in case of confusion
2. Development in Webflow
I translated the designs into a responsive, high-performance Webflow build. This included using Webflow CMS for FAQs and flexible content, as well as custom code to handle the API integration.
Key Technical Work:
Integrated custom API for live currency data (script handled by another dev, but I set up the integration and dynamic binding).
Optimized for mobile and performance across devices.
Smooth animations for engaging transitions and feedback.
3. Content & Conversion Strategy
Beyond the core converter, I designed and implemented supporting sections to guide users and reinforce trust.
Included Sections:
How it works: A step-by-step guide to explain the conversion process
User testimonials to build credibility
FAQs to handle objections and improve time on page
Call-to-action prompts to drive sign-ups from interested users
🛠 Challenges
Handling dynamic data display from API required multiple syncs between myself and the backend engineer, as there were different problems that sprung up at different points.
Balancing design fidelity with performance and responsiveness.
