Website Analytics Dashboard

This project is a custom analytics dashboard designed to connect directly to a website’s Google Analytics account and transform raw performance data into a cleaner, more intuitive reporting experience. The goal is to simplify how site owners understand their traffic without forcing them to navigate complex GA menus or interpret overwhelming data tables.

The dashboard integrates with the Google Analytics API to securely pull key metrics such as users, sessions, bounce rate, average engagement time, traffic sources, device breakdown, geographic data, and conversion events. Instead of replicating the Google Analytics interface, the system restructures this information into a focused, visual-first layout built around clarity and decision-making.

The UI prioritizes:

  • Clear KPI cards for high-level performance snapshots
  • Interactive charts for traffic trends over time
  • Visual breakdowns of acquisition channels
  • Device and location insights in simplified formats
  • Conversion tracking displayed in goal-oriented views

Rather than presenting every available metric, the dashboard is structured to highlight what actually matters to business owners: growth trends, marketing effectiveness, and user behavior patterns.

Challenges

From a technical standpoint, this project involves working with OAuth authentication, secure API requests, data transformation, and front-end visualization libraries to create dynamic, real-time reporting. The architecture is designed to be modular, allowing future expansion to include additional integrations such as Google Search Console or paid ad platforms. This project reflects my interest in turning complex data systems into accessible tools. Instead of asking users to dig through dashboards built for analysts, the goal is to give them a streamlined, visually structured experience that makes performance insights immediately actionable.
