Craigslist is an online company founded by Craig Newmark initially seeking to assist organizations in fact-checking, consumer protection, and technology for the public good. It has since evolved into a multi-dimensional website with features like marketplace, career and community postings.

PROBLEM

There’s a lot to do on the website now with a cluttered one-stop-shop feel and currently diminishes the user experience with minimalist design and multiple links

SOLUTION

Easier to navigate, user friendly and faster interaction

MY ROLE

Visual Design, UX/UI Design

COMPETITORS/MARKET RESEARCH

Letgo, Offerup, Mercari

STRATEGIES

I researched the above competitors and a couple others to determine what design elements were relevant for sites like these. I then used what Craigslist already has on its platform and designed it to be easier on the eyes and have better navigation initially. Upon further research, I noticed other types of sites were using a simple search bar feature with not many categorical boxes like I had in my first design.

TOOLS USED

 Adobe Photoshop (wireframing and design), Adobe Illustrator (icon and text elements)

WIREFRAMING
