UI July Day 3! 🌿
Drop a comment: Would you actually design this from scratch? 👇
When I got challenged to design a sidebar for a gardener, my brain immediately went: Wait, what? Why would a gardener need a custom app? Why wouldn't they just use a basic, already existing CRM? 🤦♀️
I almost didn’t post this because I thought, “Is this even cool enough?” But a challenge is a challenge, so I forced myself to dig deeper.
So here's my answer to how to make a sidebar special for a gardener:
☀️ Weather-First UI: The gardeners always have to check the forecast, so it definitely has to be there. One of my favorite touches- it's actually connected to the gardener's tasks and alerts them if the weather could affect their job today.
🧪 Fertilizers + Tools Trackers: They have to keep track of their inventory!
It turns out designing for the soul means finding the magic in the unexpected workflows and quitting overthinking. How did I do?
Btw, for day 2 I dropped a video about useful games for designers, but didn't post it here, because "it's not serious enough"🧐
Nice job, Valeriia! 🙌
Thank you!!🥰
Nicely done
Thanks!🥰
🐈👍🏻
Thank you☺️
Quitting overthinking paid off big time! The "weather-to-task" alert system is a brilliant UX feature for a gardener's workflow. That dark UI with the lime accents looks absolutely beautiful and premium. Great job forcing yourself to dig deeper! ☀️🌱
Thank you so much!!☺️
Great concept! The weather integration is a really thoughtful touch. 👏

Nice work
Working on a new website homepage and I'm stuck between two design concepts.
The client wants a homepage that feels colorful while still giving off a luxury, premium vibe, and I'm finding it challenging to strike the right balance.
Which direction would you pursue?
