Challenge Summary

Welcome to Citrix - Sales Quote Shopping Cart Design Challenge!
 
Citrix sales reps currently use a quoting tool that helps them configure and price various products and services. To include products/services in a quote, they are selected and added to a “shopping cart”. From within the shopping cart, the sales rep has several ways to customize and update the products. The current tool has several pain points that make it difficult for them to understand all the options available, or what to do next.

Note: Please do not submit a colored version of wireframes as they are just meant to guide you, outline necessary screens, and further explain the application basics.   You are highly encouraged to enhance the wireframes with your own design style / ideas / solutions during this design challenge.
 
Good luck and we look forward to your design!

Challenge Description:
The goal of this challenge is to help the seasoned users build quotes more efficiently, and minimize the effort it takes for new users to learn the new layout.

We are looking for the [topcoder] design Community to help us with planning our new "user experience" (UX).

Notes:
- This is going to be a web App.
- Colors are open to designers.
- Desktop view: 1280px width and height as required.
- Make sure you create graphic in 'shape' format, so when we resize graphics will still look sharp!
- Feel free to suggest any tools/functions that can bring good User Experience for this tool.

Objectives:
- Visual design that allows for intuitive interaction with the shopping cart, using consistency and patterns to allow users to learn new system quickly.
- Make actions stand out more; styling should allow for logical groupings of actions that make sense to the user.
- Present large quantities of information in easier to read format that minimizes scrolling (wireframe shows one solution with the “View More” option, but feel free to suggest other solutions if you have a good idea).
- Group actions together (wireframe shows one solution next to each line item with this icon (...) and actions menu, but feel free to suggest other solutions if you have a good idea).
