We set out to transform Sweeten into a platform that feels intuitive and supportive at every step. Our redesign focused on making the renovation journey smoother, keeping users engaged, and reducing complexity.
Dashboard & Activity Feed
The updated dashboard serves as the central hub where users can easily track their projects. The activity feed displays updates, messages, and milestones, helping users stay informed throughout their renovation. Tailored recommendations guide users at every step, ensuring they know what to do next. Milestones are highlighted to guide users through the project journey, with clear prompts and guidance. Users can also track contractor progress and communication seamlessly.
Project Scope & Budget
The project scope and budget page simplifies planning by allowing users to outline their renovation plans, adjust scopes, and tweak budgets with ease. Guidance from the platform makes the process intuitive and less overwhelming.
Sweeten Contractors
The contractor page offers a curated selection of Sweeten-vetted contractors, complete with profiles, licenses, certifications, and portfolio images. This setup allows users to efficiently compare options and make informed choices.
Estimates & Bid Management
The estimates page includes a straightforward bid comparison tool, enabling users to review bids side-by-side. Detailed breakdowns support quick, confident decision-making.
Messaging Hub
The centralized messaging system organizes all project-related communication, keeping conversations, documents, and updates in one place. Each interaction is supported by indicators for current project status and next steps, ensuring clarity for all parties.
A suite of tools was added to support users throughout their renovation journey. Scheduling, feedback prompts, and secure payments help reduce stress and provide confidence, empowering users to “renovate fearlessly.”
