Next, I created sketches for my app which allow those components. As a parent myself I imagined what the most important aspects of a design of this type would be. The most pivotal factors were a Welcome Page where users can either log in or sign up. Second, is the Main Home Page where users can view their address, profile picture, cart, store options, deals, and items to order again. This leads you to the Store/Product Home Page. Here users will find options to search for items, select categories of items, shop by brand, and order an item again. Once an order is placed this will lead users to the Choose Deliver Page where they can select specific delivery times. The final screen is the Receive and Track Delivery Page. Users will be able to see who their driver is when they start the shopping process, and when the item(s) are delivered, as well as add delivery instructions. I did this to allow a smooth safe, and seamless transition from page to page through the app. As parents and caretakers, I realize the importance of having an app that is quick and easy to navigate when time and energy may need to be focused elsewhere. 

During the wireframing creation, I choose to add an element where you can upload your profile picture next to the address bar and cart. Personalization allows a warm and friendly atmosphere for delivery transactions. I decided to add a search bar across both the Home and Store/Product Page for parents and caretakers to quickly search for items (efficiency). The design of the Track Delivery Page is intended to capture the main aspects of the delivery process all in one space. I added an element that shows a photo of the delivery driver because it allows parents and caretakers to see who is delivering to their home. Finally, the instruction box was a function I thought would be important to parents and caretakers when adding notes such as “please call when here and avoid ringing the doorbell”. Especially when they have a sleeping baby or toddler in the home. 

When adding fidelity I wanted to select a color pallet that was accessible for all. This led me to utilize a contrast checker to ensure it passed the test. Details were my main focus during this process. I added soft touches which appeal to the senses of parents such as an image of an infant laying on a bed and blankets. During my final prototype process, I added elements of dropdowns, hover states, and sliders.     

As I reflect, my biggest takeaway was that the Tiny Eats app is necessary for the app market. Parents and caretakers need an app that specifically caters to the needs of their infants and toddlers. My next steps are to design a page to browse specific items from stores and brands, design a signup page, and update the choose a delivery items page to list the user's address, delivery instructions, delivery time selection, and payment option all on one page. 

In the future, I hope to expand this app to include delivery for other infant and toddler items such as diapers, wipes, hygiene products, toys, and pacifiers, as well as other items. 

This will help expand the application to further cater to the needs of parents and caretakers by allowing them to shop in one place for their infants and toddlers. This furthers Tiny Eat's goals by minimizing time spent on grocery shopping in stores to maximizing time spent with their infants/toddlers.
