The Challenge

Archoral, a secure family archiving and genealogy platform, faced the challenge of making complex family history data accessible and emotionally engaging for users. The platform’s existing interface hindered user navigation and connection with their family stories.

The Solution

Archoral is a secure platform with core features like family trees, family data storage, sharing capabilities, and other genealogical tools that help preserve a wealth of information. Tentackles’ UX design strategy was to simplify the interface and enhance user experience by prioritizing user needs and focusing on a clean and intuitive interface.

Our approach focused on:

User-Centered Design

Through extensive research, we deeply understood user needs and pain points.

Intuitive Navigation

We reorganized platform components into top and side toolbars, providing a clean and intuitive layout for easy navigation.

Enhanced Profile Structure

We designed streamlined profile structures for people, places, organizations, and items while preserving essential information.

Secure Collaboration

We enabled secure collaboration features, allowing users to share and contribute to family histories together.

By prioritizing user needs and focusing on a clean and intuitive interface, Tentackles successfully transformed Archoral into a powerful tool for preserving and sharing family histories.
