Their small team based in New Delhi, (10-15 employees) consisted of project management, development, marketing and graphic designers, and they already had a list of what difficulties their users have when using the product.
Our first task was to find other areas on the platform that we think needs improvement from a user experience standpoint. We were the only visual and experience designers in the team, and our process looked like this:
We got summarised user feedbacks from the team multiple times.
Wrote a list about the possible causes of their UX hurdles.
Made quick iterations and prototypes that eliminates everything from the list.
At the end of the day we presented our work to the team, and we had a discussion about it.
A new information architecture made it possible to solve problems and implement new features in a much easier way.
Pulse, a social networking app connecting college and school students based on mutual interests. It targets those above 14 years of age using a primarily visual format for communication -photographs, videos and stickers -in different languages ranging from Hindi to Punjabi.
Pulse provides users a full-screen visual experience of streams of colleges around them, with customised stickers to make the experience more fun and engaging. A platform that provides young users relevant content in the form of full-screen multimedia rich stories, which is something they understand the best
Users today quickly prefer adding a sticker to their pictures to express their emotions over typing a caption, which itself is a huge market and with the feedback we�ve got, Pulse has made content creation more intuitive for users.
The app has been designed to suit the Asian millennial target market, as it utilises minimal internet bandwidth and one can view content as well as post completely offline.
