Wireframing
Wireframing helped to solve navigation issues through rapid prototyping and user feedback.
​
Some of the key areas for improvement that user testing helped to resolve
-Making the slot booking intuitive
-Confirmation of action completion
- Reducing visual clutter from the time slot booking screen
A fresh identity!
The combination of pastel green and dark sea green provides excellent contrast, making on-screen information easy to read.
The addition of bright green brings a touch of freshness, creating a lively, inviting look.
Custom illustrations enhance the UI further, adding a welcoming feel while maintaining clarity in visual communication.
