Mobile app to connect with domestic service providers and should allow online books. App should have modern and intuitive user experience.
It could be pretty difficult sometimes to find nearby helpers like Carpenter, Plumber, Beauty & Saloon experts, Electrician, Construction workers, etc. HomeService app should be one stop domestic helper solution for your domestic needs.
Project needs to be designed from scratch with all the modern tools and best practices. First step is to do competitor analysis involving research about already existing market leaders in this space e.g. UrbanClap, etc. Then, understand paint points in existing apps, noting down features they provide and that consumers will expect and optimize it further to provide most inclusive world class User Experience that users love to use.
In first version of design, I focused on flow around common home services with basic features and in future will be adding support for much wider range of services and collaboration features. I will also be doing look and feel improvements in next version.
In this project, we need to create scalable design with all the best practices
Design home service app with all the modern tools and best practices to ease people's life and give them best User Experience.
Design needs to be scalable to accommodate quick changes, multiple iterations efficiently and at a faster pace.
Scalable designs are very important for modern applications, specially startups / mobile apps where a product goes through multiple iterations and serve a large number of users.
Figma, which is the preferred choice of most UI designers these days has lot of great features and improvements recently to help us achieve scalable design much easily.
Design System, Reusable component based designs with variants, Auto-Layout, Absolute Positioning, etc. is used in this project to achieve responsive designs.
First I started with a wireframe using pen and paper for an early version of the app. This helps take feedback and optimize on the whole application flow before actually spending time on design. This a very critical part which a lot of teams easily miss causing many back and forth communication and rework at a later point.
I also create low-fidelity wireframes for the projects where I have to collaborate with other team members. Once I had inspirations and starting point for the app, I started with the design.
Some high level sketching for how all the pieces would fit together
Component based design, Auto-Layout, Absolute positioning features of Figma are used
In first version of design I primarily focused on application flow around common home services with basic features to keep it simple.
In next version, I will be doing improvements related to look and feel. I will also be adding support for much wider range of services and collaboration features. In below screenshots, I am presenting glimpse of few screens from my design.
I created a design system that would not only build the consistency but also save time as we build new features. This will improve the overall process and experience for our app.
