Cheshire Streetwise are a small community outreach organisation.

Their furniture project accepts good quality used homewares and furniture donations to sell in their shop. This app was created as part of a larger rebranding project that I undertook for Cheshire Streetwise in 2021.

Challenge

As a volunteer run operation, they are often limited by the availability of staff for the store, and were looking for an alternative to opening up in more locations as the overhead would be so high. The Covid pandemic pushed the need for this into more urgent territory, as less people are out and about for shopping, and there are periods where the store cannot open at all.

Solution

Implementing a user centric design methodology to create an e-commerce app that allows users to browse, save, and buy items from the Cheshire Streetwise charity shop.

Outcome

The Cheshire Streetwise Furniture Project is a mobile first app that allows customers to easily browse and purchase items from the charity from the comfort of their own homes. It offers a simple and quick way to get high quality second hand goods, whilst also supporting the local community outreach projects Cheshire Streetwise provide.
