About the project

Reimagining
FirstKey Homes

For this project, we did a UX/UI redesign for FirstKey Homes' responsive site (for both desktop and mobile). While some parts of the site already existed and just needed a revamp, other sections (the more interactive ones) needed to be designed from scratch.

The overall design needed to be simple and clean, giving priority to functionality and user needs over decorative elements that could mess up the flow of the user journey.

We created a detailed timeline for this project
that covered all of its stages, from ideation to
Q&A and testing.

IMPROVED SEARCH EXPERIENCE

Users can create their own personal profiles, upload all their information and have a better, customized experience using the search engine.

MULTIPLE PREVIEWS

The improvements made to the UX/UI, the search engine and the visualization of the posts resulted in a more friendly process for users overall.

MAP VISUALIZATION

The map visualization makes it easier for users to find the best houses at the best prices in their dream location.

Chart flow

This part of the process was very important, as it gave us a detailed, clear understanding of the existing UX/UI of the site.

Typography

We chose this typeface for its cleanliness and modern look, it's easy to read without being too plain. It's informal but not too informal.
