Needs

Starting from scratch, our discovery session helped to uncover the needs of the business. Most importantly, we needed a funnel for ride bookings that fed directly into a calendar, linked to our driver's smartphone. Next on the list were contact forms and, finally, familiarity.

Personality

As an older gentleman, my client is not very tech-savvy, so I would need to account for this in the short and long-term. I chose an easy-to-use platform with Wix, and in my design, chose bold text & colors, along with a traditional serif typeface.

Lead Generation

Of course a website is great for converting a lead, but leads don't show up out of thin air - especially with how polluted our search engines are. Creating profiles with great copywriting on larger, more established platforms like Google Maps and TripAdvisor would be the best way to increase awareness and drive traffic to the business.

Conclusion

My first client project was quite the rollercoaster, requiring me to wear many hats at once. I learned a great deal about design, business, and many other real-world concepts. Our completed design featured a booking system with an intuitive user journey, eye-catching colors, and and functionality that accommodates even the most traditional of folk.
