New Pairing Screen

An innovative interdepartmental solution brings new life to a common alert screen.

The Problem

A new landing page was needed before the biggest sales day of the year.


We had already been working on a complete app redesign, so we took pieces of our newly designed user flow, namely the lading page which featured a parallax scroll.


But this created a few more problems to solve, what would be the exciting new content be to hold the focal point, the header that disappears behind the parallax scroll, and how will the user search content from this new page?

The Solution

Iterate new features, based on user research, and test them within our team. In conclusion, a new horizontal scroll that would confirm for the user that they have ongoing cooks would ease a pain point. It allows the user to scroll the new landing page with the peace of mind that their chicken will not be overcooked!

Business & User frustrations

A new landing page allows users to visually see all of what MEATER has to offer, with a new search feature and landing page, while also keeping track of their personal cooks.

Primary Frustration

Previous to the landing page, only users with an active MEATER product could peruse the app material.

Secondary Frustration

A mountain of quality content was going unnoticed on the app due to the established user flow.

Competitor Benchmarking

We were highly inspired by the menu style of the Apple App Store for our scrollable material, search functions were referenced from sites such as Spotify and Uber, content was referenced from competitors such as Typhur and iChef.

Problem Space

It would be amazing to create a pop up screen that showed a 3D model of each device when pairing to the user's mobile device for the first time.

How Might We… Insert an new landing page into the current user journey that both fits seamlessly into the trusted user experience while also inspiring confidence in our forward thinking vision.

Ideation

After choosing to move forward with our ongoing cook card to be the focal point of the landing page, we began to ideate on the mesh gradient, states of current cooks and search function designs

What can we add

more direct way for users to access cooks and proceed to set up a cook.

What can we improve

Design and content accessibility.

Rapid Prototyping

Styles & Components

We created new galss cards to act as the "Ongoing Cook Card" and add new styles of icons to the deign library for the search functionality.
