HelloHome Case Study


In the market for a long time there is the unresolved issue of quality of neighbor discovery, but it is still not been solved properly.


the Main problems in this sphere have been and remain the following:


    the
  1. a narrow Niche in the market there are many proposals.


  2. the
  3. As a rule, neighbor discovery is a lottery, you never know what kind of person you'll meet until you speak or not you will live with him personally. This problem has significantly delayed the search in time.

In the application HelloHome we tried to solve these basic problems.

HelloHome — Light VS Dark


1. The problem which is solved by the application


There are quite a number of apps, services and websites, but they all have many similar problems:


a small number of profiles;
— questionnaires contain little information about the owner;
services are more like Bulletin boards than on the services people search;
— a complex search that saves user queries;
— the complexity of communication, usually in the services not built-in.;
— the need to constantly is in search of;
— the lack of notifications of new and appropriate forms.

to solve most of these problems we made an application which combined the two models, the standard model of finding housing and gaining worldwide model of Dating application Tinder which all forms are made cards. This helped to solve several problems at once:


since suitable questionnaires are not always a lot, we made sure to see them all, profiles are displayed cards at a time, like Tinder;
once searching, the app will always search for suitable profiles;
questionnaire sufficiently detailed to present a first impression of the man;
with all the suitable contenders can have a quick chat in instant messengers and make a decision, which will be sufficient to meet and mingle in life;
— the app will notify you when new profiles or profiles that match your search.

2. The application structure


the Application consists of two types of users, people who are looking for apartment and apartment owners, who are looking for a roommate. Accordingly, in HelloHome need to do two types of questionnaires, unlike Tinder which implements only one type of questionnaire for all users. These factors need to be considered when designing the application. In the design process we tried to consider all the details, you can see this in the prototype in invisionapp.

3. Design


unfortunately, in this project, we didn't do a full prototype in Flinto or Pixate, so it was important for us to efficiently work out the details in invisionapp. Had to the application even without the speakers visible common logic, and was designed small scripts.

    the
  1. In the design phase was long funnel is due to the fact that we decided not to do long form, and make small steps in which the input information is not required to use the keyboard. After testing several options Lookback on closest acquaintances, the current version proved to be very effective.

4. Design


it Was decided to make a unique design which would be remembered and associated with this application. Had to do something different and that the design didn't look 1 to 1 as Tinder. This decision was substantiated by the fact that the style of the application should be deposited in the mind of the user, and if user to share the app with friends, in a nutshell, it should sound something like "It's like Tinder only to find the neighbors." We also decided to depart from the guidelines.


Long Shadow


In the design we used a Long Shadow, because this style gives the most complete picture about the controls and navigation, understanding where to tap, where to find the clickable elements and zones.

Now how effective is the decision to say sorry may not, but the tests will show and we fix that already in the second version.


Amenities


Since the customer knew a lot of information about future users, he helped us to draw up a detailed list of amenities for forms.
