UX research and design for a website for finding apartments to buy or rent.
The product

The project aimed to design a user-friendly and engaging website that would help potential buyers and renters find their ideal apartments.

Project duration

July 2023

The problem

The problem I tried to solve during the design process was the uncomfortable feelings of users at such important moments in their lives, such as the search for a new home for them and their families. Users struggled with the low-quality search and filter options, which consumed a lot of time and were nowhere near the feeling of joy and excitement.

The goal

The aim of the project was to create solutions that would enable people to conveniently acquire the knowledge they need to make an informed and satisfactory purchase, review the available offers and obtain the necessary information to take further steps.

My role & responsibilities

UX designer & researcher – user research, wireframing, prototyping.

User research

Potential users can be assigned to two groups: those looking for a place to rent and those buying their own property. Both groups are adults, with diverse backgrounds, employment and family or roommate groups.

Users were identified through interviews with people from both sides: tenants/buyers and owners.

Digital wireframes

The aim of making wireframes was to find a website structure that would accommodate the required information and allow users to quickly access and use the data.

High-fidelity design

Landing page for Desktop and Mobile.

Usability study

The unmoderated research was conducted remotely, worldwide on group of 10 participants in the time of 30-45 minutes.

Usability study showed, that users liked the idea of resume builder, but asked for more features. All of their suggestions were implemented in next versions of design. Findings included insights:

  • more filter options needed,
  • add an option of adding an announcement.
Accessibility considerations

Color contrast was checked and passed the WCAG requirements.

Screens are simple and clean, easy to use for users with assistive technology, such as those with limited mobility or visual impairments.

Every interactive element has a negative space around it to prevent accidental clicks.

Impact

During the usability test some users said, that they would certainly be using this website, if only it was available.

What I learned

I learned a lot about UX design in general. I think the most important thing is that the user can always point out something about the design that the professionals have not thought of.

Next steps
  • Further usability test and design changes.
  • Adding more functions, such as import of existing documents.
  • Design a Mobile app.

UX research and design for mobile app for one-time and recurring orders at Florist.
The product

Mobile app for one-time and recurring orders at Florist. Target users are teenagers and adults, who buy bouquets for any occasion and with every frequency.

Project duration

April – June 2023

The problem

Users who buy flowers struggle with the problems of seasonal variation of flower types and long time to complete the order on site. Customers interested in recurring orders also need a lot of time and effort to buy flowers repeatedly.

The goal

To make ordering flowers a simple, time-saving and stress-free experience.

My role & responsibilities

UX designer & researcher – user research, wireframing, prototyping.

User research

User research was conducted in the aim to find users problems, needs, behaviours and motivations. The participants of the interviews were adults from two customer’s groups: who buys flowers occasionally and those who makes recurring orders.

Research showed that users struggle with the problems of seasonal variation of flower types and long time to complete the order on site. Customers interested in recurring orders also need a lot of time and effort to buy flowers repeatedly.

Digital wireframes

Paper wireframes were created as the first design step for the app. Then, there were tested on users and transformed into the digital ones.

High-fidelity design

High-fidelity Mobile prototype for an app.

Usability study

The moderated research was conducted on site, in Poland, on group of 5 participants in the time of 15-30 minutes.

Usability study showed, that users liked the idea of florist app, but asked or need some changes in design. All of their suggestions were implemented in next versions of design. Findings included insights:

  • date picker and image carousels were confusing,
  • date picker was confusing,
  • more complex order settings are wanted,
  • some components needed replacement.
Accessibility considerations

Color contrast was checked and passed the WCAG requirements.

Screens are simple and clean, easy to use for users with assistive technology, such as those with limited mobility or visual impairments.

Every interactive element has a negative space around it to prevent accidental clicks.
