Poster & Pitch

I love driving and I drive to almost everywhere. But I never drive to SF because it is nearly impossible to find parking.
Quote from User Interview with Russell

I love the idea of putting private parking spots on the platform. I can see the amount of time and effort and probably money this will save the drivers.
Quote from User Interview with Ben

I use Google Map to find parking space. But it doesn't really help that much since I don't know the price or the actual availibility until I get there.
Quote from User Interview with Irene

Major Changes after Heuristic Evaluation

Regular parking spots vs ePa spots

We used different icons for the two types of parking spots that make it easier for the user to distinguish between them.

Too many pages for rent-out

We put all relevant information on a single page to reduce the number of clicks and designed a progress bar across the top of the screen.

Pull-out menu button and back button not inline with the iOS design guideline

We circumvented the need of having the two buttons together by redesigning the task flow.

No idea what a “spot certificate” is

We added descriptions that help clarify what a spot certificate is.

“Navigate to destination” unclear

We explicitly distinguished between the location of the parking spot and the actual destination.

No visual feedback for location when entering address of the spot

We used a map, instead of raw address or coordinates, to indicate the selected location for better usability.

Unclear yes/no buttons

We changed the button colors so that the one we expect user to click more often attracts more attention.

Inconsistency of back button

We put back button only where necessary. We also made sure that all back buttons look the same and are located at the same position across screens.

No indication of successfully uploading image

We used image preview to indicate a successful upload.
