OVERVIEW

This handyman app connects skilled professionals with homeowners in need of assistance. The app allows handymen to find a wide range of job opportunities, from minor home repairs to larger renovation projects. Handymen can create detailed profiles showcasing their skills and customer reviews, which helps build trust with potential clients. With a focus on efficiency and user experience, the app allows handymen to easily find job opportunities in their area, ensuring a steady income stream.

Handymen often face significant challenges in generating a steady income due to limited access to job opportunities. Many struggle to connect with potential clients, relying on word-of-mouth or local advertising, which can be inefficient and inconsistent. This lack of visibility makes it difficult for skilled professionals to showcase their expertise and secure a reliable flow of work.

RESEARCH

By analyzing user reviews, testimonials, and online discussions, we aimed to uncover common pain points, desired features, and overall levels of user satisfaction.

We conducted a series of user interviews with 11 participants to explore their needs, pain points, and content preferences in greater depth.

By actively listening to our interviewees and documenting their feedback, we collected valuable insights that will guide us through the development of a user-centric app to meet their specific requirements and enhance their overall experience.

After conducting the user interviews, we organized the collected responses using an affinity diagram technique. This approach enabled us to identify common themes, pain points, and preferences among our interviewees. From this analysis, we developed four distinct user personas that represent various segments of our target audience.
