HOME SERVICE
Overview
Just from the comfort of a couch, the rooms can be cleaned, television repaired, light bulbs fixed, plumbing done and walls painted! It is only a click away.
PURPOSE AND CONTEXT
This app is one that will provide an avenue for all sorts of house work to be done by just the right hands. From electrical work, to plumbing, to weeding, any of these chores can be done by skilled personnel on Home Service. Many similar apps that exist lack UI design of high standards.
OBJECTIVE
Home Service is a platform that connects people to service providers who can help them with a variety of house work that need to be done.
APPROACH
1. Moodboard: First of all, a moodboard was created. This moodboard had blue as the primary and major colour because the emotions the app is to communicate to the users are along the lines of professionalism, assurance, relaxed and cool.
2. User Flows and Wireframes: Creating user flows helped to define efficient ways to key actions. The app structure was then defined by the development of wireframes (low, mid and high).
User Flow Diagrams
Low Fidelity Wireframes
Mid Fidelity Wireframes
High Fidelity Wireframes
3. Design Style Guide: A design style guide was created for the app as regards the logo usage, fonts, colours, layouts and other relevant UI elements. The design style guide provides uniformity in the application of the UI elements.

4. User Tests: The prototype was tested by real users. The feedback and feeling of users was important in deciding how the final screens were designed.
User Feedback
5. Tools Used: The tools used in this project were Figma (user interface development), Basalmiq (wireframing) and Marvel (prototyping).
CHALLENGE
In the beginning of the project, I faced the challenge of deciding what app to design. Making this decision took a long time. I was not deterred. I continued to press on browsing the internet for the right app to design till I narrowed in on an on-demand service delivery app.
DURATION
The project spanned a period of 12 days which was within the time to finish the project.
FINAL SHOWCASE
The final result was exactly as the project objective was! The objective of the project as earlier stated was to design an app that can connect people to service providers who can help them with a variety of house work that need to be done. The project can be expanded to design and showcase the Service Provider side of the app as only the customer side was designed.
