Partners With Sharetribe

By implementing a hybrid version of Design Thinking into our process from the very start, we are able to immerse ourselves into the problem your business is solving with a new marketplace. Beginning with understanding "why" and iterating until we come to a solution based on User Testing & Prototyping.

We take all of the information your business has accumulated in its lifetime and convert it into actionable insights for us to leverage. By focusing on the Pre-Development stages, we can design, test, iterate, re-design, and then develop a platform your new community is going to love and adopt.

Our designer can test your current brand against your persona to validate effectiveness, and/or optionally create a fresh brand that will appeal to your target demographic. 

​

The brand will be reflected through and applied to a basic landing page and the flex design system.

Our whole team has been in the marketplace industry since 2014. Flex allows us to start hitting the ground running with component-based Figma files we are able to customize through Design Thinking. The Figma files come with every base functionality from sign-up to booking required to launch a marketplace platform. 

Based on your business cases & marketplace needs, we can suggest a wide variety of API's we can integrate into the Flex structure (such as additional search capability or a subscription-based model). APIs can drastically lower cost-to-build & time so you can get your MPV out more efficiently.

We are a full-service company that priorities communication. Weekly standup cadence, Slack, Jira, and Figma are used for consistent communication. We work with the Flex code to customize based on the prototype we designed.  We can work with React, Angular, Node, AWS, and Heroku.
