Our goal was to improve the information architecture and create a fun, user-friendly experience, addressing the previously challanging navigation.
[01/Research]
The first step was to gain a thorough understanding of the existing website and identify its current issues. To achieve this, we began by analyzing the site through various methods. This research phase was crucial in helping us to understand our target audience. We frequently referred back to this research throughout the entire design process, using it to guide our decisions.
Methodes Used
Surveys, Kano Modell, SWOT Analysis, Personas, How might we questions
For us the apparment presentation is the most important aspect. This is how we organised it.
The first thing you see are illustrations showcasing opinions on important aspects of communal living. They help users quickly assess whether the flatshare's vibe matches their search.

For the overall layout, we prioritized a clear information hierarchy. Details about the flat are located at the top, while a right sidebar provides key facts that remain visible as users scroll. In the second section, additional information about the living environment is included.
As students often change locations, we wanted to make it easier to use the account for more than just one search process. This is why we introduced user profiles.
[03/ Proiles]
By setting your profile to 'searching mode', flats can find you, making the searching process easier and more personalized. Another advantage of profiles is that flats can quickly get to know you and decide if the vibe matches. This also makes the search process easier.
