The Oasis Poolbar
MOBILE APP
Good design makes life easy and that is the primary aim of this native mobile app. The Oasis poolside restaurant and bar needed a product built with environment and function as the fundamental user requirement. This multi-location app lets your user's fingers walk them and their families to all the tropical treats they desire right from their phones. It gives them all the tools they need to leave frustration behind as they navigate menus, orders, delivery, payment, and accounts all from a lounge chair, under sunlight glare - even if they left their purse or wallet upstairs.
Universal accessibility is the key ingredient to getting your customers to you consistently and continuously, especially when your product is yoga and for most, a luxury that must be squeezed into a busy schedule. There are enough barriers in life; your product’s digital doorway shouldn’t be one of them. This responsive web tool allows people to view schedules, book classes, and manage their account on any device, in any environment they may be traversing, as they bend over backwards to get to your studio.

Design for good.
User-centered design can make reaching your audience easier, elicit participation faster, and make assessing information more manageable. Creating that while also supporting your local school and PTSA organization, is always a bonus.
