UX/UI - Strategy
A place to call home
About the project
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.
