HauteShop: Elevating Game Parlour Retail with a Premium Shopping App Experience
HauteShop Game Parlor shopping App was created to help users purchase their favorite games with ease and at the comfort of their homes without having to make a trip to the Game Parlor and also to avoid frustrations that come with late knowledge of products not in stock.
Busy Users and Gamers lack the time and convenience of going to the Game Parlor to purchase Games. The existing online options lack a tailored experience for game parlour enthusiasts, and there is an opportunity to create a dedicated shopping app specifically catering to this niche audience.

Provide a seamless and engaging user experience to browse and purchase wide range of games.
I conducted interviews and created empathy maps to understand the users I’m designing for and their needs. A primary user group identified through research was students who don’t have time to visit the Game Parlor.
This user group confirmed initial assumptions about Gameparlor customers, but research also revealed that time was not the only factor limiting users from buying at the Game Parlor.
Other user problems included obligations, interests, or challenges that make it difficult to get the games from the Game Parlor in-person.
Youths are too caught up with playing games to visit the Game parlor
There’s no platform available for ordering games with ease and at the comfort of the youth
There’s no way to know if a particular game is out of stock or not.
Taking little time, I made a quick sketch of how my lo-fi wireframes would look like, each screen sketched is able to address user pain points. I prioritized a quick and easy ordering process to help users save time.
As the initial design phase continued, I made sure to base screen designs on feedback and findings from user research.
As the initial design phase continued, I made sure to base screen designs on feedback and findings from user research.
Using the few sets of digital wireframes, I created alow-fidelity prototype. The primary user flow I connected was selecting and ordering a game, so the prototype could be used in a usability study.
Early designs had a lot of iterations, after the usability studies, I added a lot of screens including a separate screen for categories so that users can easily search and explore the game options available
The second usability study revealed the need for a favorite button and page. Users can also add their favorite games to their user profile. I also added more options for the checkout process. I also iterated the navigation flow and made it easily accessible.
The final high-fidelity prototype presented cleaner user flows for ordering a game and checkout. It also met user needs for more delivery options as well as more screen customization.
Provided a strong color contrast following the WCAG standards for color contrast.
I used clear and concise labels for buttons, form fields, and other interactive elements.
I organized the app’s layout in a logical and consistent manner, to help users understand and navigate through the content easily.
Continuous Improvement: Actively gathering user feedback and analyzing user behavior to identify areas of improvement. Regular updates and feature enhancements to keep the app relevant, and address user needs, and also adapt to evolving technologies and user expectations.
Other good stuff.
