OVERVIEW
We had a large demand from our users for a mobile app but we have a small team and limited budget, so we looked at some ways we could bring value without building a full version of what we already had on the web.
PROCESS
We started the process with customer input, some high level goals, and inspiration from other apps that have designed well. I made wireframes and walked through the app with the development team. I designed multiple versions and collected feedback from our users and team along the way.
THE iOS APP
We launched the app in the spring of 2017 and our users were pleased with the simplicity and value that it added to their workflow. A few of the benefits include: View contract and payment details, contact clients directly, add events to the calendar, get directions to an event location, and push notifications for when contract are viewed, signed and paid.
CONTRACT BUILDER (PROTOTYPE)
One feature that has not made it into the mobile app yet is the contract builder. In order to release our ETP (earliest testable product), we chose to exclude this for version 1 release, but I do have a prototype designed below. Enjoy!
MARKETING MATERIAL
When we released the iOS App, I created emails, posts, and graphics to announce the app to all of our users and partners.
