Yumito
Food search engine web app
About
As a UI/UX designer, I was responsible for crafting the complete vision for Yumito, an innovative food search engine web app. Yumito empowers users to discover restaurants, cafes, pubs, and even specific dishes using advanced filtering options. The platform also enables users to explore detailed reviews, create personalized favorites, and engage with dynamic restaurant pages showcasing menus, events, job offers, and delivery options. The project was built from the ground up, encompassing branding, user research, wireframing, and interface design to deliver a seamless experience across all devices.
Project Goals
1. Design a user-friendly platform to streamline food discovery by dishes, venues, and user preferences.
2. Incorporate advanced filtering and review functionalities to enhance the search process.
3. Ensure responsiveness and accessibility across devices for an inclusive user experience.
Features
1. Advanced Search by Dishes - Yumito’s standout feature allows users to search not just by restaurants but by specific dishes. With extensive filtering options—such as cuisine type, price range, and dietary preferences—users can tailor their search to find exactly what they’re craving. This functionality adds a unique layer to the typical restaurant discovery process.
2. Comprehensive Restaurant Pages - Each restaurant has a dedicated page containing essential details such as menus, events, job openings, and delivery types. This central hub provides users with everything they need to make informed decisions and interact with the venue.
Design and Responsiveness
The branding of Yumito is designed to evoke a sense of fun and exploration, while still maintaining clarity and professionalism. A playful yet elegant color palette was paired with modern typography to appeal to a wide audience. The design system was built to ensure consistency across all components and interactions.
Responsiveness was a top priority, with layouts and components optimized for a range of devices, from desktops to smartphones. The user interface was designed to adapt seamlessly, offering intuitive navigation and clear visuals regardless of screen size. Mobile-first principles were employed to ensure that Yumito provides an equally delightful experience on-the-go as it does on larger screens.
