EXCHANGE RATE SYSTEM
Statement of Purpose
The intended purpose of this project is to create an Exchange forecasting system which will allow access for users to a real time world Exchange system that enables them access a wide range of currencies. As a final and completed application, this site will hopefully be a unique in its own way compared to other similar websites such as XE Convertor. I am using XE Convertor as a basis of my design due to the simplistic and aesthetic design it has. My Intention is to create a mobile application version of this product. As you would do any product first I must gather up some requirements research to enable myself to develop a set of functional requirements.
=> XE Converter https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/:
The XE Currency Converter includes a currency converter, cross-rate table, and forex news to keep you up-to-date on your favorite currency pair
=> Aesthetic Design: The Converter system is very basic in design and simply just has a white background with blue text. It has four tabs which consist of the following, convertor, rates analysis and info. overall the aesthetics of this system is fairly basic and not appealing to the user due to its basic colour scheme.
=> Functionality: The system has current exchange rates for all the countries listed with different currencies. it has a a very simple and effective functionality in the way it converts the currencies so i chose to see the exchange rate between 1us dollar to GBP, i simply had to scroll down a list to chose my options which was fairly easy and then click on a green button to display the information. overall the functionality is very good on this system, this is because it displays all the necessary information that you need when accessing a currency website.
=> Features: There are multiple features available to the user whilst using XE convertor, such as there is a mobile application for the system, therefore the user can access exchange rates whilst on the go using their mobile phone. Also the system has a analysis on the current market, for example it gathers the data and looks at the trends in the currency rates over the previous years and check to see if the currency rates have increased or decreased
=>TRAVELEX https://www.travelex.co.uk/currency/exchange-rates
"We monitor market rates on a daily basis so you don't have to."
TRAVELEX ensure that they provide users with great value on your foreign currency, they compare against major high street and online travel money providers. Choose from over 45 currencies to be able to see current UK exchange rates, look at how they've been performing and pick the best time to buy foreign currency.
=>Aesthetic Design: TRAVELEX have a very nice design to there website/exchange rate system. They have a white background with simple radiant colours to compliment their background. They have a nice usage of images to also compliment the way there site looks. Also the charts which they have to display information is clear and well presented to the user. overall the design features of TRAVELEX is very good and i hope to gain some insight to help me design my application in a similar way.
=>Functionality: There are many aspects to this exchange rate system, however one aspect which is very impressive is that on the homepage they have all the currencies displayed to the user, and whichever currency the user chooses on the same page you can display a chart showing the trend of this currency throughout the past couple of months. Another good functionality is that they display rates to the user with ready set data so they display with 500, 1000 and 1500 to be converted to whichever currency the user sets, this is good because it shows the user an idea of how much they can convert it to without clicking that many buttons, so this is ease of access to the user which is very appealing.
=>Features: TRAVELEX has many good features, one of which is that on the homepage if you scroll down it displays all the information of what the currency charts mean and how to use the website. i believe this is a very good feature because if you're for example a novice and don't usually use computers to check currency rat, then this is perfect because you are able to see and check exactly what you are doing because every word is explained in detail e.g sell rate, buy rate, spot rate, cross rate. another feature which is good is that there is a search bar to access information even quicker for the user.
=>eXchangerate.com https://www.exchangerate.com/
This is an online exchange system which has information for currency rates for all the countries in the world
=> Aesthetic Design: To be honest this site was created only for the functionality of the site to be able to display currency rates. This is because my eyes are hurting and i'm just looking at this site for two minutes, it has a dark blue colour with orange text colour to compliment it and all the information displayed is squashed onto the page which is not very appealing to a user. I believe that this website needs a lot of work in improving its design side to be successful
=> Functionality: Although all the information displayed is sort of muddled up and not very visible the site has got rather good functionality, for example if i clicked on Argentina, the site navigates me to another page and displays a full detailed information about the country starting with geography, people, government, economy.
=> Features: One main feature which this exchange rate system had compared to the other two which i have looked at is that on the main page it displays the chart of all the currencies and that it displays the currency rate from the day before and then displays current days and then displays the difference of the one day, which i believe is very impressive to the user because they can see what kind of change it is, high, low etc.
