Brand Foundation Purpose: Define Covarly’s reason for existence. e.g., "To simplify and enhance access to essential digital tools for everyday consumers."
Vision: What does Covarly aim to become in the next 5–10 years? e.g., "The most trusted digital marketplace in Europe."
Mission: What does Covarly do daily to reach that vision? e.g., "Delivering fast, secure, and affordable digital products to consumers worldwide.".
Designing the user journey for Covarly.de—an e-commerce platform for digital consumer goods—requires optimizing every step from discovery to post-purchase. Below is a wireframe concept of a user-centric journey tailored for digital products categories, like software licenses, subscriptions, or downloadable vouchers.
Designing for Humans, with the UX principle of HICKS LAW in mind, I designed 5 Types of Iconography, which helps the user to choose between the main categories very easy. Directly at the entry/main page, which is an repetitive Visual Design Element. As good contrast we will use a green call-to-action button which works as good contrast with bright colourful imaginary. We want the users to enter an easy to use website, which highlights product categories,new products, best deals and to give them ideas for their individual use case/work environment, and payment modalities..
Because we’ve based our design on the industry standard, we’ll have our buttons (e.g., “add to card”, “menu”, etc.) set out in a way that users expect (they may have visited many sites before landing on ours to compare prices, service terms and feedback). From there, they can immediately understand the layout and interact accordingly.
[+] It was such a fun project from the first contact with the team and further development, with fast iteration cycles, clear feedback sessions and feature priorisation. Unfortunately that startup didnt landed the investor round to get online, but such a good example project for early stage startup prototype pitch.
