Real estates lists properties submitted by users and owners, on an interactive map. Search results are filtered by available rooms, lifestyle ratings, child friendliness index (CFI), and area-based pricing.
Competitive Analysis
Competitor analysis in marketing and strategic management is an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of current and potential competitors. This analysis provides both an offensive and defensive strategic context to identify opportunities and threats. Profiling combines all of the relevant sources of competitor analysis into one framework in the support of efficient and effective strategy formulation, implementation, monitoring and adjustment.
User Personas
A persona, (also user persona, customer persona, buyer persona) in user-centered design and marketing is a fictional character created to represent a user type that might use a site, brand, or product in a similar way.
Customer Journey
In commerce, customer experience (CX) is the product of an interaction between an organization and a customer over the duration of their relationship. This interaction is made up of three parts: the customer journey, the brand touchpoints the customer interacts with, and the environments the customer experiences (including digital environment) during their experience.
Next, I scripted a typical daily feeding routine for my persona. This process helped me decide how the web app’s customer experience might be designed to fit in with a feeding routine.
Wireframes
A wireframe, also known as a page schematic or screen blueprint, is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website. Wireframes are created for the purpose of arranging elements to best accomplish a particular purpose.

The initial low-fidelity wireframes were designed in Paper Sketch. However, after some research and reading reviews by UX practitioners, I decided to switch to Adobe XD.
Style Guide
A style guide or manual of style is a set of standards for the writing, formatting and design of documents. It is often called a style sheet, although that term also has other meanings. The standards can be applied either for general use, or be required usage for an individual publication, a particular organization, or a specific field.
These guidelines are meant to help developers keep elements like buttons and forms consistent across multiple webpages. Additional examples and references, like writing samples, words to avoid, PowerPoint templates or photography compositions could also be helpful to include in a brand style guide.
