WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

  • Started on Aug. 5, 2024
  • They need guidance in conceptualizing the layout, developing custom branding with themed names for each space, and building a digital presence that will captivate a potential guest enough for them to book on the spot.

THE PROBLEM

A landowner with a vision for their undeveloped property dreams of creating a welcoming compound that offers guests an unforgettable stay in themed, thoughtfully designed dwellings. However, they face the challenge of translating this vision into a cohesive experience that not only captivates but also simplifies booking for potential short-term renters.

  • Completed On Aug. 15, 2024
  • Features include an intuitive, mobile-friendly layout and engaging content. Integrated booking options streamline the reservation process to provide guests with a smooth, one-stop experience from exploration to booking.

THE SOLUTION

I developed a custom webpage for the compound that highlights each dwelling with unique themes and branded names, enhancing the property’s appeal to short-term renters. The site offers an intuitive layout, visually rich content, and easy navigation, integrating seamlessly with booking platforms like Airbnb to streamline guest reservations.

User testing and research were conducted to ensure that the design and functionality genuinely meet users’ needs. By interacting directly with users, I gathered insights into their preferences and pain points, allowing me to validate design choices, make data-driven improvements, and ultimately deliver a solution that is both intuitive and effective.

PAPER PROTOTYPE & TESTING

After conducting initial user research and completing a competitor analysis, I completed a paper prototype that I could use for user testing. Focus was put on responsive mobile design for testing purposes. Click to view the initial paper prototype in AdobeXD.

WIREFRAME

After conducting user tests with the paper prototype, I analyzed the data and converted the next iterations into hi-fidelity Wireframes using Adobe XD. This is also where I started to develop the design schemes. Click image below to view the clickable prototype.
