Following on with the success launch of JobsKiosk@Central, we were approached to develop an improved version for WDA. And boy did we further improved the user experience for this version.

Bearing in mind that this application will be deployed outdoor on a kiosk, we figured that the engagement time is short, and connectivity might be poor. As such, user’s patience will be severely tested in those kind of situations.

With some AJAX magic, user’s perception of the loading time for the search result is dramatically reduced. With the use of location filters, information architecture of the site is improved, and more relevant results can be shown faster as well. Now the user can expect a faster and more responsive experience while they sieve through the results in search of a potential job.

Now, who says a web app loses out in performance to a native app? Ultimately, it’s all in the design and implementation. Glad that we contributed to help the thousands of job-seekers out there! =)

Project Brief:
YWCA Safety Alert app exists as both an iPhone and an Android app. This app seeks to enhance the safety of young women at any time and anywhere. Users can activate a loud siren sound when they are in distress, and the app will record the location and automatically notify their family/friends through email and/or send notifications to fellow users around them. For the Android version, SMS is also sent automatically as well.

Besides this, the reader provides an easy and intuitive way for users to read the latest articles or try out quizzes from YWCA’s publication; and a specially designed time-table function that let them organize their daily activities.

Coovielab was approached to design and develop both the iOS and Android application. With their target users in mind, we iterated the UI design to achieve a best-in-class experience, and gave the app a cute and pleasant look-and-feel. We also crafted a content-management system to make it easy for our client’s administrator to load content from their print publications to the app reader.

Project Brief:
JobsKiosk@Central is a iPad web application that provides an easy method for job seekers to view jobs, recruitment events, and training opportunities. More details can be sent to their own handphone through SMS. Coovielab was approached to provide front-end support for the development of this project. We revised the information architecture of the system, iterated the UI design, and mitigated usability issues to support the end goal of creating a better experience for the user.

Project Brief:
The intention is to provide residents of W-Residence a delightful experience while they are waiting for the lift at the lift lobby. The idea is to make use of an interactive installation with a fish that swims around and performs different animations. The best part of it all? This fish can even track audience’s movement and move along with them!
