Background 

A leading plant nursery, aiming to expand its market reach, developed a mobile application to facilitate the online purchase of indoor plants. The goal was to design an intuitive, visually appealing, and user-friendly interface that would enhance the shopping experience for plant enthusiasts and casual buyers alike.

Design Objectives:

  1. User-Friendly Navigation: Ensure easy navigation for users to browse and select products.
  2. Visual Appeal: Create a visually attractive interface that highlights the beauty of the plants.
  3. Informative Product Pages: Provide detailed information about each plant to assist users in making informed decisions.
  4. Ease of Purchase: Simplify the process of adding products to the cart and completing purchases.
  5. Consistency: Maintain a consistent design language across all screens for a cohesive user experience.

Design Features:

  1. Home Screen Layout:

    • Categories: Clear categorization of plants into “Outdoor plants,” “Indoor plants,” and “Garden plants” tabs allows users to quickly find the type of plant they are interested in.
    • Search Functionality: A prominently placed search bar enables users to find specific plants efficiently.
    • Cart Icon: A cart icon in the top right corner provides easy access to the shopping cart, making the checkout process seamless.

  2. Product Listing:

    • Grid Layout: The products are displayed in a grid format, which maximizes the use of screen space and allows users to view multiple options at a glance.
    • Images and Pricing: Each product listing includes a clear image of the plant and its price, facilitating quick browsing and decision-making.

  3. Product Detail Page:

    • High-Resolution Image: A large, high-resolution image of the plant gives users a detailed view of the product.
    • Product Information: The page includes the plant’s name, price, and a detailed description. The description covers the plant’s characteristics, care instructions, and benefits.
    • Add to Cart: A prominent “Add to cart” button simplifies the purchasing process. An adjacent heart icon allows users to add the plant to their wishlist for future reference.

  4. Aesthetic and Usability:

    • Color Scheme: A soft green background is used throughout the app to create a calming and nature-inspired aesthetic.
    • Typography: Clean and readable fonts ensure that all text is easily legible, enhancing the overall user experience.
