Who likes taxes?... I suppose I know the answer :) but I also know something that can make your taxes easier.
PIT.pl is a Web portal created to help with taxes and has just implemented a new layout of its home page which was designed by us.
Our main goal while reorganizing the portal was to create a user-friendly website and we focused on functionality and usability of it. We hope that users will find there everything they are looking for without any problems.
In other words we did our best to transform the PIT.pl into a good-looking webside.
On Monday January 26th in Polish Radio Szczenin in broadcast “Trącić myszką” our new on-line service Rentoni was mentioned.
The author of this broadcast Mr. Jarek Dalecki talked to Mr. Maciej Dziurla - the main author of Rentoni.
- Jarek Dalecki: I was surprised by the next initiative, especially by the usability of it. How many times did we lend or borrow something and never got it back? Now we know how to help it. I have Mr. Maciej Dziurla on the phone. Welcome Maciej.
- Maciej Dziurla: Hello.
- J.D.: Maciej represents MPlab, and you are the authors of a new on-line service, which reminds everyone that he has something to give it back, is it right?
- M.D.: Exactly, maybe I begin with the genesis. As you mentioned before, people lend and borrow things and then forget who they belong to. The second inspiration was the movie “The Borrowers” based on the novel of the same title. These two things made us to create an on-line service that solves this problem. It is in english, because people on the whole world have the same, common problems.
- J.D.: In Poland, United States, United Kingdom, Africa or Australia there are common problems. Maciej, I thought that inspiration was that somebody borrowed something from you and you never got it back, what made you so angry that you decided to do something with it.
- M.D.: Yes, it happened propably thousand of times. We were looking for something like that in Internet, because we didn’t want to create something what already has been created. We have been thinking about it over a half of the year or even longer, and finally we decided to created it. We launch it one day before Christmas. We called it Rentoni and it was our Christmas gift for everyone on the world. The website is www.rentoni.com, and it’s international. Further more, it is totally for free! On this site we put most needed information – how does Rentoni work, registration form, etc. It is very easy in daily use – you just have to define people, lent or borrowed things and suspected return date. Two days before the deadline date Rentoni will send you and a related person (if desired) email reminders. System automatically checks the time zone of all users and send reminders at 6 am. We are planning to add more useful functions like reminding by text messages on mobile and more, depends what users will desire in the future.
- J.D.: I have even some more usability ideas. People often forget to take back the laundry from dry-cleaners’s, mangle, or about doctor’s appointment. With Rentoni and additional options remembering about things like that will be unnecessary to remember about it anymore.
- M.D.: Of course, we can use Rentoni for such things, but to be clear, we want concentrate on the core function – borrowed and lent things reminder. In the future, we probably integrate Rentoni with some other social network websites, like facebook. You are welcome to visit the website www.rentoni.com.
- J.D.: Mr. Maciej Dziurla was my today’s guest. Thank you.
- M.D.: Thank you.
MPlab has just started working on a new website with Danish craft. Furniture and accessories this on-line store offers will certainly satisfy even the most picky buyers and sophisticated testes. The offer includes, among other things, basic things such as mugs or bowls, as well as fabrics, lamps and ornaments. All products are very modern and have been created exclusively by designers and artists.
The aim of our project is to design and create from scratch the visual part of the website, layout, logo and all its technical aspects. MPlab, specializing in functionality of websites among many other things, will make on-line shopping easy and fun on all levels, visual and functional.
MPlab continues its work on the most popular tax website PIT.pl by creating
e-Porady.PIT.pl.
The changes include adjusting the website to make it more user-friendly, as well as designing advertising banners which would promote this website effectively.
The company intends to change the layout completely, together with all graphic elements identifying this website.
Users will soon be able to find the answers to their tax questions in an easer and faster way.
Login…Password …. Registration forms... Everyone who tried to register on any website knows what a pain it can be. The nuisance and bother of coming up with and remembering logins and password will soon be water under the bridge. The change will happen thanks to the OpenID technology. With OpenID, there is no need for anyone to sign up and create a new account for each site that supports OpenID – you can just use the identity you already have.
Until now Mplab remains the only Polish company to take up the challenge of introducing the application in Poland and has just completed the first stage of translating myOpenID into Polish. Once the tests are run and the product gets a green light, it will be published by JanRain company – the creator of this product.
Mplab is going to use OpenID technology in its applications. Thanks to the Polish version, an easy, functional and convenient access to the myOpenID application for all Polish-speaking users will be granted.
We have completed functionality audit for the tax portal e-porady.PIT.pl. Behavioral research conducted with users of this portal and heuristics analysis let us locate any difficulties and ambiguities which searchers of complicated tax answers encountered. MPlab specialists managed to come up with patterns of solutions which eliminated any inconveniences.
