Problems

User interviews were conducted with target audience to get in-depth feedback and know better the users’ needs, pain points, and preferences.

01

Complex Navigation

Users need to quickly find and browse through various yacht listings without feeling overwhelmed. An intuitive navigation system with clear menus, categories, and filters will help users locate their desired options efficiently, significantly enhancing their overall experience.

02

Unclear Booking Process

A complicated booking process can lead to high abandonment rates. Streamlining the booking flow with clear steps, visual indicators, and easy-to-understand instructions will reduce friction and increase the likelihood of users completing their reservations, directly impacting conversion rates.

03

Communication tools

Effective communication between renters and yacht owners is crucial for addressing inquiries and special requests. Incorporating a user-friendly messaging feature will facilitate timely interactions, improving user satisfaction and fostering trust in the platform.

Solutions

01

Simplified Navigation Structure

I enhanced the user experience by implementing a streamlined navigation system with clear labels and organized categories. Intuitive menus and prominent filters now allow users to easily browse yacht listings based on size, location, and price. Additionally, I added a breadcrumb trail to help users track their navigation path, ensuring they can effortlessly return to previous screens.

02

Intuitive Booking Flow

I redesigned the booking process into simple, manageable steps with clear visual indicators. Each step now features concise instructions and easily identifiable buttons, guiding users smoothly through the reservation. I've also incorporated confirmation prompts and a summary of booking details before finalization to boost users' confidence in completing their transactions.

03

Enhanced Communication Features

To facilitate effective communication, I introduced a built-in messaging system that allows renters and owners to send and receive messages directly within the app. I've also implemented push notifications to alert users of new messages, keeping them informed throughout the rental process. This dedicated communication hub enhances user connection and support, significantly improving their overall experience.
