Simple add to basket investment

Options
Good day all hope your all keeping cool in hot weather,
  Is there any platform especially Iweb & low charges platforms where one can just view a company and easily add to basket or even a few companies grouped as an item/product that can be added to basket and then purchase the shares within a click or two, would like to do this with the FTSE, S&P 500 or the low charges platforms like Iweb as currently when viewing from these sites there seems to be lots of graphs & data which seem hard to decipher unless one spends a long time studying?

    Normally, its not recommended that you buy shares if you do not have time to do the studying.  You should stick to funds instead.

    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    If you don't like the data at iWeb then there's nothing forcing you to look at it - you can simply buy the shares with a few clicks.

    However as above, you really should be taking your time, or at least consider funds rather than individual companies - an example of a low cost fund platform which groups funds by themes is dodl.

    Possibly what you're thinking of: Trading212 - zero commission and account fees - has, 'Pies.' You add the companies to the pie, tell it the proportions and then it's one click to purchase shares in multiple companies.
