TripSplits is an online booking platform for discovering and booking outdoor guided trips at a significantly cheaper rate. On TripSplits, users split the cost of a trip with each other, thereby bringing down the cost for each of the booked users and at the same time, provide the same amount that the guide would normally expect.

As TripSplits prepared to create a MVP, I was responsible for designing the visuals, user experience and user interface for the booking enthusiast's point of view.

A BETTER WAY

A BETTER WAY

What if there was a way to go on outdoor trips that are normally too expensive and make new friends along the way?

The first step in designing TripSplits mobile was to create a flow diagram. Even though our focus for this design was for the enthusiast's pov, I included the flow for the Guide as well because a lot of the actions from each user effect each other.

Though I was tasked with creating the design for the booking user, I started by designing the user flow for both the booking enthusiast and the guide, for I knew a lot of their actions would be connected and influenced by each other.

For every trip there was a lot of important information we wanted to communicate to the user so that they could quickly determine if they wanted to book it. We decided to package the trips into cards for the users to scroll through.

The Design

Getting Started

Getting Started

In constructing the first screens of the TripSplits app, it was important to consider the first time user. We wanted to respect the fact that TripSplits would be a novel concept for them and so we decided to introduce them to the app with several discovery screens.

Designing the Logo

When designing the logo I was considering the two unique selling points of the app: One, you can book outdoor trips and two, users split the costs of those trips amongst each other.

Booking a Trip

At the core of Tripsplits is not only being able to search for and book an outdoor trip, but having the freedom to select the price you want to pay. Users can book the trip, guaranteeing themselves a seat or they can bid a lower price and be added as a waitlist and in the event the rest of the seats fill up they will be booked for the price they were willing to pay.

In order to design for this novel price selection, we decided to make use of a slider. When users slide to the right they can guarantee a trip booking and when they slide to the left they can put themselves on the standby list for the lower price. Green indicates a booking, and orange indicates a standby.
