Mobile Product Page

Memobed askded us to build a visually automated discounting system. Here users have the option to purchase more items and save a certain percentage on the total pruchase price. This was a bit of challenge since there are 6 items of different sizes and prices and we had to write an algorithm to calculate any combination on the fly.

Here we created multiple mobile specific menu system and design for users, non-profits, and customer portal

Prototyping

Get Started

Once we agreed on the details with Sheila at Memobed, our UI/UX designing team started to work on wirframes. So, we began by studying similar on-demand ecommerce aplications to learn from their mistakes and wins to build a better UI, wireframes and build a great application in the best possible way.

There are 3 parts to the application

For Customers
For Non-profit Organizations
For Admins

By the end on the planning stage, we had already created detailed wireframes and a working prototype in InVision App.

UI and UX Design

Get Started

To design the Memobed web portal we had to make it fully mobile responsive with native mobile features, since downloading an app was not an option. They wanted to make the application as seamless as possible and easy to navigate.

we gathered information about Memobed’s main competitors and analyzed their website’s features. Next we built a storyboard followed by wireframes and prototypes.

wanted us to design an animal character to appeal to their audiences and capture their attention through storytelling. So we went to our sketch board and designed several animal character choices. The winner was a cute parrot we named “Memojo” to associate with the brand name “Memobed”.

Memobed’s goal was to build an intelligent copper mattress technology and the choice of parrot supported that idea. Parrots are very curious and intelligent in general and some have the thinking power of a human toddler. So a talking parrot named “Memojo” was born to represent Memobed’s brand.
As part of artistic work we also created several human characters to tell stories throughout the website.
