01Problem

Problem

Urban apartment dwellers and small-villa homeowners love their plants but lack the time, tools, or expertise to maintain them. Existing on-demand home-service platforms bundle gardening with unrelated services — making discovery clumsy and trust low.

02Users

Users

Two primary segments emerged: (1) busy professionals with balcony gardens needing periodic upkeep; (2) elderly homeowners who can't manage physically demanding garden work themselves. Both value reliability and clear pricing over speed.

03Hypothesis

Hypothesis

If we offer a dedicated, narrowly-scoped flow with transparent gardener profiles and fixed-price packages, users will trust the service enough to book within ≤ 3 minutes of opening the app.

04Wireframes

Wireframes

I sketched a 5-screen flow in Visily: (1) Hero with 'Book a gardener in 3 taps'; (2) Service type selector — Weekly trim · Repotting · Full setup; (3) Gardener cards with ratings, last-job photo, and ETA; (4) Date & address picker; (5) Confirm + Razorpay handoff.

05Solution

Solution

A focused booking funnel with social-proof gardener cards, fixed packages, and a single primary CTA on each step. Empty-state copy nudges users with seasonal suggestions ('Time for monsoon repotting?').

Learnings

What I'd take with me.

Narrow scope wins trust. The biggest lever was removing decision-fatigue — fixed packages outperformed flexible add-ons in user tests by 3x.
