My task involved modifying and enhancing the functionality of the bookmarks while preserving the simplicity of their creation. One of the critical stages in preparing for a journey for our audience is planning—56% of MAPS.ME users deliberately create bookmarks.
To increase user retention, we decided to provide more functionality for planning future trips and sharing travel plans with family, friends, and other travelers. Users leave bookmarks on the map to plan their trips by day or to mark must-see attractions, the best restaurants and bars, kids' entertainment, and more. The problem was that it was difficult to organize, share, and identify bookmarks at a glance when there were too many of them.
I also supported the ability to calculate complex mortgage options in the mobile application.
I created a separate page for the list of mortgage programs and made it easy to access the calculator from the apartment page.
I have also conducted comprehensive UX research for both the web and mobile app to ensure that this functionality aligns with the clients' needs.
In TrendAgent, a large number of real estate transactions are carried out daily, and all communication regarding these transactions takes place in chats. Several specialists are present in each chat simultaneously - an agent, a developer's representative, a mortgage specialist, an insurance agent, etc.; along with the client.
The problem: if a message is read, it is not clear by whom exactly among those in the chat it was read. Real estate agents need to know if the client specifically has read the messages above.
The solution: a "Client Read" marker in the chat. I added a text indicator of message readability in any chats with clients and redesigned the appearance of the messages accordingly.
I opted not to use user avatars as markers for message readability because not all users on our platform upload avatars, and for real estate agents, it's crucial to know specifically whether the client has read the messages above.
Developers frequently offer promotions for their new constructions. The challenge lies in determining which discounts are applicable to a chosen apartment and ultimately calculating its final cost, a task that typically requires reaching out to the developer directly.
To streamline this process, our portal consolidates comprehensive information regarding promotions, discount rates, rules for their accumulation, and their respective validity periods from multiple developers.
I have prepared functionality for calculating the final cost of the apartment taking into account the maximum discount from the developer.
