A marketplace mobile app for children's goods

A marketplace app design: from structure and key-feature screens to a clickable prototype.

• Product page - photos, description, price, follower count and bidding, plus seller details with a rating.
• Chat - quick contact with the seller and follow-up questions about the product without leaving the app.
• Listing creation - photos, description and price added directly in the mobile app.
• Personalised search - results matched to preferences such as the child's age and gender.
• Icons and illustrations - a dedicated graphic set designed for this app.
• Hi-fi prototype - an interactive prototype we used to test the concept.

Parents look for children's items that kids outgrow quickly. Some of those items they later want to sell or swap.

The app had to bring buyers and sellers together in one environment: simple, fast and tailored to a specific family. With private peer-to-peer trade, a clear sense of safety also mattered, including transparent information about who is selling.

Shopping had to be simpler and faster, and still safe for both sides of the transaction.

We started with wireframes. The app structure was ready before visual design began, so we could first make sure key features were easy to reach.

The product page gathers everything a buyer needs in one view: photos, description, price, follower count and bidding. Seller details and rating are prominent, because trust depends on them. Chat lets buyers ask for details without leaving the app, and creating a listing comes down to photos, description and price.

Search for a specific child

A parent can narrow results by the child's age and gender. That way they skip listings that do not apply and reach the right one faster.

The client received a complete app design and an interactive hi-fi prototype where the concept was tested and validated.

Dedicated icons and illustrations shape the character of the app. Every graphic element was made with parents in mind and with the purpose of the app.
