SigFig Case Study
To deliver a corporate website powerful enough to fulfil the technological ambitions of a fintech startup on a hotfoot. Thus, we built a website on the dual framework of React & Netlify, pushing for scalability to adapt to business growth, while keeping it visually appealing and information rich.
SigFig Money Management
Over the years, the software company for financial services has raised $119.5 million over 6 rounds of fundings from leading financial institutions like Eaton Vance, New York Life and UBS, besides high-ranking venture capital firms like Bain Capital Ventures, DCM Ventures and Union Square Ventures, which is a clear testimony to their unwavering efforts toward realizing their vision.
Growing at a rapid but steady speed, which only further cemented their reputation, SigFig has now set its sights on helping banks and financial institutions serve their customers better through SigFig Engage, a remote collaboration tool worthy of a dekko in this new world of digital-first banking and financial services.
Next-gen fintech to keep you 'healthy, wealthy & wise'. Well, almost!
The Challenge
With the attention of the leading names in the financial market now positioned on them, it was time for a rapidly expanding SigFig to up the ante with a corporate website that would befit its industry reputation. The website had to be design-rich, technologically adaptive and filled with valuable information (remember their methodology?). And all of these in the quickest time possible.
Our Solution
We love the prospect of new challenges to keep the creative machinery running at all times in our 0707 family. Naturally, the opportunity to create a custom corporate website for a company of SigFig’s caliber was quite perfect for us and we relished every moment of it, including learning and adapting to a new CMS - Netlify (Thanks SigFig).
Fast-forward to a few quick decisive rounds of interviews and team meetings, and we got down to the task of engineering the headless CMS architecture with React at the front-end and Netlify at the backend. Wading on uncharted waters, we adapted fast to a never-before used framework to keep the project on track, while guiding the client to adapt to the new technologies at the same time.
Interestingly, learning was a mutual experience both the sides were rewarded with through this partnership, made quite pleasant by the well-rounded Kyle Hietala, who led the SigFig team from the front, every bit of a leader and professional that we hoped him to be.
It took 45 days of an enriching collaboration between the respective design & engineering teams of SigFig and 0707 to come up with a website that both parties were equally proud of. Not just because of a project that was wrapped up in record time, but also for what came out of it - a world-class corporate website that checked out on all levels of expectations - both the client’s and ours.
Our Vision
SigFig sees a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine the financial services industry. Transformation begins with using technology to discover and understand the complex financial needs, priorities, and feelings all customers have.
