Houzy is a platform for property owners, buyers and sellers.
The open ecosystem integrates user-friendly online tools such as property valuation, energy calculator, mortgage comparison, property search and more. It also connects users, craftsmen and other property experts with a single click.
In 2018, the platform started for homeowners with basic real estate tools for one home per user. It grew to help buyers, sellers, and owners of different properties. Users can add multiple objects, like houses and apartments, and use a smart property search for sales. But the platform's expansion made it hard to navigate and understand.
As one of the two UX/UI designers on the team, my responsibilities included:
• information architecture concept,
• prototyping and usability testing,
• UI, interaction design,
• developer handoff,
• monitoring and testing of the implemented designs, ensuring flawless execution.
While exact figures are not yet available, preliminary results such as recordings and product analytics are promising. They indicate that restructuring the site has significantly improved usability, made navigation easier, and increased tool usage. We are excited to collect more data as testing progresses.
