Sporting platform Wicked Tennis

Project description

Challenge

Tennis players faced difficulty in finding opponents due to the absence of a convenient and easy-to-use platform. They had to propose various timeslots and locations and engage in lengthy email conversations to confirm the time and place for a match.

Wicked Tennis proposed a convenient solution that allowed players to quickly and effortlessly connect with each other, streamlining the scheduling process.

Research

Based on players' feedback, we discovered the most requested features:

• Quick Scheduling. Feature that would allow players to easily agree on the time and place of their tennis matches.
• Mobile Accessibility. Our research revealed that players heavily relied on their mobile phones for accessing tennis-related information and managing their schedules.
• Seasonal Statistics. An opportunity to track and analyze the performance within each season.
• Quick Match Results. Feature that would allow users to swiftly add match results.

UX solutions

• Wireframes
  Based on extensive research, we developed wireframes that catered to the specific needs of players, ensuring convenience and accessibility. Our wireframes focused on creating a user-friendly interface, optimizing the flow and navigation within the platform.
• Design
  The client's goal was to create a convenient and user-friendly solution without unnecessary complexities. The design reflects this vision by employing a minimalist approach that prioritizes clarity and functionality. Inspired by the game of tennis, the color palette prominently features vibrant greens and clean whites.
• Mobile usability
  The project is mobile-oriented, so our main focus was to enhance the user mobile experience by optimizing all project elements for mobile devices. We also aimed to minimize the number of steps required for users to find opponents and schedule matches, prioritizing usability and convenience.
