GigTricks is a middle east based online marketplace offering tasks and services, beginning at the cost of $5 per job performed, from which it gets its name. The site is primarily used by freelancers who use GigTricks to offer services to middle east customers. The original product designed in 2016 was needing a redesign in 2017 due to the increased content library of GigTricks, which was impacting the performance and stability of the application.

We started with the analysis of 12 in-depth interviews provided by the Think360 Usability Testing Team. The interviews covered freelancers and Entrepreneurs in the Middle East. We extracted user goals & pain points by creating an affinity diagram to identify user needs and product features. The improvement of these cores was vital to improve the overall user experience of the product.
Currently, 90% of the users use a system called “Freelance Marketplace,” which is causing a lot of trouble among freelancers and Entrepreneur, when they try to accomplish simple tasks like the following ones:
- To be able to sign up quickly
- Ability to choose between different Gigs prices
- To be able to signup with Facebook or google
- Payments between freelancers and Entrepreneurs should be simple and trustworthy.
- Assure upcoming updates work properly
- Review device management
- Facilitate finding Gigs quickly via the “Search” tool and intuitive content categories
- Packages are unclear
- Enable users to discover new Gigs
- Facilitate continue watching in GigTricks Freelancer via “Keep Watching” and “Watchlist.”
- Improve lean back experience by enhancing the “Purchasing” experience
- Enhance user interaction by making the navigation consistent (vertical scroll to find more content + Horizontal carousels etc.)
Thanks to our findings from the research analysis, we were able to identify 3 main kinds of users who will be benefited from using this App.

A set of wireframes for desktop and mobile were created in order to perform usability testing and validate the ease of use and resolution of the issues with the new designs. These wireframes were tested with five users who gave us valuable feedback and helped us to identify the potential problems in the interface and navigation.
