Easy Hire
Project Goal & Challenge
The “Zruchno” app is a mobile solution for hiring professionals to perform various household tasks. The primary project goal was to streamline the process of finding reliable contractors for different services in a transparent and user-friendly way. Key challenges included developing an intuitive task creation flow, establishing efficient communication between users and contractors, and ensuring high levels of data security.
Research & Process
To achieve the project’s goals, I conducted an in-depth analysis of the market, assessed competitors, and outlined key user requirements for this type of application.
Industry Research
Analysis of essential service types and user needs in household hiring.
Competitor Analysis
Review of UX and UI strategies used by similar applications.
Moodboard
Selection of visual elements and design trends that would match user expectations.
User Interviews
Gaining insights into user needs and pain points through interviews.
Product Architecture
Development of navigation and user flows to simplify task creation and communication.
Lo-Fi Wireframes
Basic screen sketches for validating the logic of the user journey.
Product Structure
Before diving into UI design, I defined the structural foundation of the app. I mapped out core sections, user flows, and navigation to ensure clarity and scalability. The product is divided into essential modules such as onboarding, task creation, chat, task management, and settings — all tailored to support a seamless and focused user experience.
Lo-Fi Wireframes
I created low-fidelity wireframes to validate ideas quickly and focus on layout, hierarchy, and key interactions. This stage helped align structure with user expectations and paved the way for efficient visual design.
Design System
To save time and budget, I opted for the “Untitled UI” design system. It included essential components that enabled quick customization, allowing me to focus on crafting a UX and UI solution that met the project’s needs. This also ensured consistency in style and high-quality visual elements while optimizing resources.
