Shiny Car Wash

UX • WEB • DESIGN

A mobile car detailing & washing provider that services the Vancouver lower mainland.
This exploration was done to improve their user interface and overall visual design. The main focus was to improve the website and the booking experience.

The Problem & Solution

A core problem that Shiny was facing was increasing booking conversions from the desktop and mobile web.  What was looked at on a deeper level was the information architecture of the homepage and simplifying the booking process. To brainstrom
ideas we adopted a "how might we" exercise.

Design System

One of the flaws of the current site and booking experience was a lack of cohesive design. To improve this a design system with a focus on color and typography was created which helped the overall information hierarchy.

Homepage Desktop Design

The goal of the homepage is to showcase the many benefits of Shiny Car wash and to make booking a mobile car wash easy. Sharp illustrations, direct and informative copy and a clean grid were utilized to sell Shiny’s mobile car detailing services.

Wireframe Mobile Screen

There was a lot of exploration to try to nail the mobile experience. From black and white wireframing to use of colorful illustrations, everything was tried to create a strong and seamless mobile interface.

Onboarding 

The onboarding screens are crafted to demonstrate the ease of use of the Shiny detailing services. The goal is to show customers how simple the book and cleaning process is.

Fleet Cleaning

This is a secondary service that Shiny provides to business. This service received too much focus on the main website which was mostly frequented by folks looking to clean their personal vehicles. The goal was to build this section out as a secondary landing page for this segment.

Value Added Services

Wanted to create a simple page that highlights all of Shiny’s various secondary services after mobile car detailing. That way customers would be aware of the added value that Shiny provides.

Conclusion

While this was a conceptual exercise, there were a lot of key learnings about customer segmentation, design hierarchy and simplifying the overall booking experience. The object was always to measure success by increasing bookings.
