The simple visual design of the site focuses the user on the basic functionality of the application. Data validation rules ensure that information entered into the database meets Benchmark's standards, and help screens guide the fund managers through the process.

We built a complex grid to allow the fund managers to enter historical fund performance information. We included extra logic not only to ensure that the values were valid, but also that there were no gaps in the history of the fund. Although the tabs and grids present the data in year and month format, the underlying data structure is normalized with individual month/year records.
