INTRODUCTION

This project was a design sprint project, where the goal is to start from research and create protypes in 5 days and receive a feedback from the potential users.

Although people live in the city, people constantly had high demand for the dogs. But because people who live in the city has more requirements and limits compared to the people who don't, they needed more help and guides when adopting a dog.

CityPups is a new startup that wants to help people living in cities find the perfect dog to adopt based on their living styles and requirements.

SKETCH

Feedbacks

Dogmaru

I have tried to organize and analyze the characteristics of other websites.

Organizing the features that I need to add for the website helped me to create a smoother design process through out the project.

In additions, I noticed that not all of the adopting website offered tips for new owners. Including this feature will help new owners after deciding to adopts a pet.

Based on the research, I tried to design the best form for the users to provide informations about the pets.

DAY 3

Storyboard

If the user made one’s profile before searching for the dogs, it would be easier to find a pet that one wish by putting in their information such as, location, breed, age, or any special requirements that they are looking for the dogs.

I thought that the process itself is not too difficult when you look for a pet to adopt.

This process for the user will create less steps to reach the goal for the users.

DAY 4

Prototype

AMA Animal Rescue

DAY 5

Interview

For the prototype of Citypups, I was able to gather 5 testers for the usability test.

Some testers were already dog owners and some were people who were interested in dogs,

but never actually tried to adopt a dog. They had the age range of 23 - 34 and all of them

lived in the city. Because not everyone lived in the same city, the tests were taken online,

where I sent the prototype of the website to the testers and they gave me feedback by voice calls.

- First landing page

If the landing page only offers login and register, the usermight feel pressured using the website.

- Create a place where the user can enter one's zip code to get a recommendations about the pets near them.

- Profile page could offer more questions to fill in for effective search

- Size of the house

- Preferred size of the dog

- Long hair or short hair
