What is Fixed?
Fixed is an application where homeowners can purchase, read reviews, generate a review and contact a maintenance professional within minutes. This application is to produce a modern contender to this current click to order service generation.
This reduces the time for homeowners figuring which worker is best for the job; simply search for the job you require and hire the highest rated professional within minutes.
You can schedule and track for when they are required. It can be within months or minutes; all in the comfort of your home. It’s all up to you. “Get things fixed whenever, wherever you are.”
The problem
The main problem to address is personal time for users to find and receive a service worker. From sifting through ratings, skills and various other components, it takes a lot of time for someone to purchase a worker with confidence and trust.
These days click to order services are a huge deal and in fact, quite a hit. It’s as simple and easy and getting your smartphone out, selecting the app and navigating through to get the service you need. This cuts down a lot of time which makes users happy as well as businesses.
Think about ordering a pizza, before you would have to call the pizza place (periodically be on hold until it’s your turn) attempt and communicate what you desire and going over your order again. Whereas now, it’s just launching the app selecting all the selections you need and placing that order which you can track and schedule.
To reduce all the effort it takes for receiving a service worker developing an application is the ideal solution.
The solution
This application reduces the time for homeowners figuring which worker is best for the job; simply search for the job you require and hire the best rated professional within minutes.
On the flip side, it helps small/local businesses find a new way to make income. They also can be “seen” as it’s hard to get known within the industry without word to mouth (depending on location). Even with a quick search users would have to go through quite a lot to find a smaller less known company even if ratings are still high.
Overall this application reduces time, stress and increases the ease for both companies and users. It produces a modern contender to this current click to order service generation.
challenges:
When created the video demonstration, After effects and the frame rate I recorded it in were conflicting with one another. I did as much I could to find a middle frame rate by adjusting settings.
final thoughts:
I wanted to get out my comfort zone and create a UX/UI based project. The only thing I wish to change is making the video demonstration run effortlessly without glitches. Overall, I am quite happy with the interface.
