Strategy
Competitor Research
Create Profile
Get inspiration from Depop and eBay. Made the initial sign-up process hassle-free by including Facebook and Google sign up to gain more users. The seller will need to fill up more info later when the user decided to become a seller.
Feature:
- Simple single page sign up process (username, name, password, email address, profile picture)
- Seller: need additional information (credit card/PayPal info, product descriptions, etc.)
Upload Feature
Get inspirations from Depop and Ebay for this feature. Users will be able to quickly upload and create a product profile for an item that they wish to sell.
Feature:
- The ability to upload or capture images of the product, product descriptions, hashtags for SEO purposes, and pricing.
Leaving Review
Get inspirations from Depop about how buyers are able to leave reviews and ratings for the products/sellers.
Feature:
- Used an easily recognizable rating system (5 stars rating, text field, able to upload the product picture), categorized and arrange the reviews based on stars.
- Buyers will be able to message sellers directly to ask any questions regarding products.
Visual Design
The design focus on youthful, playful, and exploration to represent the younger generation.
