Why?

Current design is outdated

WG Gesucht is a widely used platform for finding shared housing in Germany, but its outdated UI, poor mobile experience, and weak messaging system could make navigation frustrating.

It needs a modern, mobile-friendly redesign with improved search, new UI, and accessibility features (such us better contrast).

Wireframing

I created the wireframe based on competitor analysis and the current app design to enhance usability, modernize the UI, and improve navigation flow while addressing key pain points like clutter, accessibility, and responsiveness.

03

Proposal

Insights from the current design and competitor analysis were used to create a modernized UI proposal, featuring a refreshed color palette with Pantone 1655 C for better accessibility, an improved typography choice for readability, and a cleaner, more user-friendly layout. The new design enhances visual hierarchy, navigation, and overall usability, ensuring a more intuitive experience for users.

New Primary Colour

New Primary

Colour

The primary color was changed to Pantone 1655 C, a more vibrant orange chosen for its improved contrast and visibility. This shade was selected to enhance readability, ensure better accessibility for visually impaired users, and achieve greater compliance with WCAG contrast standards, making text and icons clearer on both light and dark backgrounds.

Why?

Contrast between text and primary colour was not compliant with the accessibility standards.
