Hippo is a directory app designed specifically for families with children. It provides a comprehensive list of services and activities available for kids, including play areas, educational classes, and sports clubs.
Registration
The goal of this project was to design and develop an app that served as a business directory for services related to children. The app was intended to provide parents with a convenient way to find and connect with local businesses that offered services such as kindergartens, hair salons, birthday venues, development centers, nannies, and doctors.
Dashboard and Search
Research:
Before beginning the design and development process, we conducted research to understand the needs and preferences of the target audience. We conducted focus groups with parents and analyzed the existing offerings in the business directory market.
Business and Professional Profiles
Based on this research, we identified the following insights:
Parents were looking for a comprehensive and user-friendly directory that allowed them to easily find and compare businesses in their local area.
They wanted the ability to filter businesses by location, type of service, and ratings and reviews from other parents.
They also valued the ability to connect with businesses directly through the app, such as by booking appointments or requesting quotes.
Design and development:
With these insights in mind, we designed and developed an app that met the needs and preferences of parents. The app had a simple and intuitive user interface, with a search bar that allowed users to easily find businesses by location or type of service. The app also included a map view that displayed the location of businesses in the user’s area.
To provide users with information about the quality of businesses, we included ratings and reviews from other parents. Users could also leave their own ratings and reviews to help other parents make informed decisions.
To facilitate connections with businesses, we included features such as appointment booking and quote requests. These features allowed users to easily connect with businesses and get the services they needed.
Personal Profile
Testing and iteration:
Before launching the app, we conducted testing with a small group of users to gather feedback and make any necessary improvements. Based on the feedback, we made a few minor adjustments to the user interface and added additional filters to the search function.
To provide users with information about the quality of businesses, we included ratings and reviews from other parents. Users could also leave their own ratings and reviews to help other parents make informed decisions.

The comprehensive business directory and user-friendly features have made it a valuable tool for connecting with local businesses and finding the services that meet their needs.
