He finds the appear here website

PROTOTYPE

SUMMARYFor the process…

• Made modifications to the filters to allow the tenant to find a more appropriate space with less help from the concierge

• Altered the use of terminology in the site to manage user expectations and emotions

• Made sure that information that is important to the landlord is captured first, thus reducing response times.

SUMMARYFor the form…

• Increased the perceived level of control over the application process for the tenant

• Encouraged the use of visual communication over text and increased the flexibility of this

• Provided the basis of what could be used for a responsive design

SUMMARYFor the dashboard…

• Provided an indicator of the application completion as well as displaying uploaded content to encourage further action and profile building

• Designed some improvements to the messaging system so it can remain on the platform

• Tried some modifications to the navigation to encourage form completion and to assist with the messaging system
