Vacay- Trip Planning, Hotels Finder and Booking

by Rasangana Jeewantha

This design is for "QVI Vacay", an app created to simplify hotel discovery and booking for travelers in any country. Built using Figma, this project focused on refining the user experience from a cluttered, outdated design into a clean, intuitive interface. The redesign journey began by analyzing the existing app's pain points—confusing navigation, excessive information on screens, and a lack of user focus. Through user interviews and usability tests, I identified the need for a more streamlined booking flow and a visually calming interface. Using Figma's component systems and prototyping tools, I crafted a design with clear distinctions between user types (e.g., Member vs. Preferred Customer) and added a minimal, user-focused search feature. The booking experience was improved by simplifying the date selection, room details, and trip recommendations. Key elements such as a clean layout, optimized spacing, and relevant content were prioritized, resulting in a polished, easy-to-navigate solution that puts the traveler’s needs first. Key Achievements: - Enhanced Usability: Simplified booking flow with clear calls-to-action. - Clean Interface: Decluttered design, making it visually appealing and stress-free for users. - Travel-Focused Features: Added tailored trip recommendations for a personalized experience. This design process adhered to UX best practices, including user-centered design principles, continuous feedback loops, and iterative refinement. It successfully transformed a complex and outdated interface into a tool that makes travel planning enjoyable and effortless.
