Pawpers Web App Project
I'm excited to share the journey of crafting a seamless booking process for grooming sessions. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of making pet grooming as effortless and stress-free as possible. So, let me take you through the steps I've taken to create a booking flow that's both intuitive and accessible for both pet owners and their furry companions.
Problem
Finding the right pet groomer can often be a time-consuming and frustrating process. Many pet owners have to rely on search engines to look up grooming shops one by one, compare services, and confirm availability—all while ensuring the shop is equipped to handle their pet's specific needs. This process becomes even more complex if the pet is a non-traditional species or a specific breed requiring specialized care. Additionally, coordinating appointments or cancellations with grooming shops can lack the convenience and flexibility that modern pet owners need.
Pawpers has been designed to present the brand as approachable and fun, using a color palette that reinforces this concept. The logo also aims to instantly convey the brand’s purpose, featuring an adorable dog surrounded by foam and bubbles.
Designed for a pet grooming service, Pawpers focuses on simplicity, cuteness, and ease of use, allowing users to easily book appointments for their pets.
Approach
To design an app that could streamline this process, I began by mapping out the common pain points of pet owners looking for grooming services. I studied existing platforms for pet-related services, identifying gaps such as limited filters and cumbersome appointment processes. After gathering feedback from pet owners, I focused on creating features that prioritized ease of use, like advanced filters for breed or pet type and a user-friendly booking system. I also prioritized an intuitive design that allows users to store pet profiles and interact seamlessly with grooming shops.
The app needed a friendly, intuitive interface that makes booking pet grooming services quick and simple, while conveying trustworthiness.
The design prioritizes clear navigation and vibrant, welcoming visuals, ensuring users feel at ease while browsing or making appointments.
The redesigned app enables users to find local groomers, book appointments with ease, and manage details effortlessly, resulting in a smoother user experience.

Solution
Pawpers centralizes all local grooming options into one competitive hub, saving users the hassle of manually searching for shops. Advanced filters allow users to find grooming services that cater to specific pet breeds or exotic pets. The app also integrates scheduling features, enabling users to book, cancel, or reschedule appointments effortlessly. By including the option to message grooming shops directly and store pet profiles for faster service, the app offers a cohesive and user-friendly experience for pet owners.
