Starting Fresh

Starting Fresh

With the rise of co-working spaces in the region, finding the right one was overwhelming. There was no centralized platform, making it hard to locate spaces, check availability, or see clear pricing.

Crafting the Solution

Crafting the Solution

The solution was a centralized web app where users could search, filter, and explore co-working spaces using an intuitive map with photos, ratings, and pricing. The process began with research to understand our users' needs.

Competitive Analysis

Competitive Analysis

There are no direct competitors, so I categorized them by type:
1.General Accommodation Platforms
2. Room Rental Platforms
3.Workspace Providers

Surveys & Interviews

Surveys & Interviews

Research Overview

Research Overview

I conducted 10 in-depth, 40-minute interviews to understand the needs and pain points of renting workplaces. The focus was on exploring the steps users take during the search, booking process and the experience after.

Research Goals

Research Goals

The research goals were first, to map the common steps users follow when searching for, comparing, and booking workplace rentals; and second, to identify the key obstacles in their experience and explore potential improvements.

Research Insights

Research Insights

High Costs & Unclear Discounts

Users feel coworking space prices are too high and often miss out on discounts.

Flexible Rentals & Online Payments

Users prefer renting spaces for shorter periods and want the ability to manage payments online.

Lack of Interactive Map

Without a map to view prices and images, comparing options becomes a hassle.

Absence of Real User Reviews

Users want insights on the space's noise, atmosphere, and surroundings, but can't find honest reviews.

Looking for a Space

Looking for a Space

The screens are designed to be simple and intuitive, with a focus on the search functionality. For those who know what they’re looking for, there’s also an option to filter by coworking space type.

Co-Working Page

Co-Working Page

This page provides users with essential information about coworking spaces, including high-quality images, amenities, descriptions, clear pricing, real user reviews and ratings.

Booking

Booking

To cater to short-term users, I introduced the option to book coworking spaces without signing in. Many people prefer a quick booking process for one-day use without committing to an account.

Mobil Adaptation

Mobil Adaptation

Analyzing user data revealed a preference for mobile and tablet access, so I optimized the platform for smaller screens. That increased user retention by 20%.
