Auction.com is the nation's leading online real estate marketplace focused exclusively on selling residential bank-owned and foreclosed properties. We needed an Android app to catch up to the iOS app, which still needed to be launched.
For the Android app development, I was tasked with designing the experience. In this collaborative effort, I worked closely with the iOS designer to ensure a unified user experience across platforms.
As the mobile designer for both Web and Android platforms, I aimed to ensure that our apps were consistent and compatible with the respective operating systems. I took the OS design guidelines as a starting point to achieve this. The iOS designer and I had a working session in the middle of the project. We created a massive printout of the experiences to capture any inconsistencies.
We aimed to create a clear and informative property card for the user's dashboard. To ensure easy readability, we arranged the color status from left to right to prompt action. Our primary focus for the native apps was the content hierarchy, prioritizing the price, bidding status, and status color.
Property information, and where you bid on the property.
Placing a bid is one of our users' most important goals: to be accurate with common terminology that the user will understand and feel comfortable with.
