Scope

70+ final screens for web + adaptive versions

Overview

Mintplicity is a marketplace that brings together artists, creators, and crypto enthusiasts on a single platform to create and trade non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

The company founders approached us with a fresh take on the existing model based on their crypto and management consulting backgrounds. They had identified gaps in existing NFT marketplaces, so they asked us to design a platform from scratch that would address current inefficiencies.

We eagerly jumped at the chance to design a web platform and its mobile adaptation for selling and purchasing NFTs.

Results

It took our team three months to design a web platform and a mobile adaptation.

First, we’ve analyzed business requirements and conducted extensive design discovery. This helped us get to uncover opportunities on the market and study user needs and pain points.

Based on the research, our designers created wireframes and prototypes and tested them with real users to ensure the selling and purchasing experience was effortless.

With Mintplicity, users can purchase digital assets effortlessly. For artists, we provide a simple and straightforward flow enabling them to apply and drop their NFT collections in a matter of minutes.

Information Architecture

We completed the discovery phase by finding what users want to accomplish and how they want to accomplish it. We then organized content into an information architecture that allows users to adapt to product features, find what they’re looking for, and complete their goals.

We hired Limeup to develop a CRM for us. Our initial concerns about the cost of the project were allayed when we saw what a good job they did. The end product is elegant and user-friendly, exceeding our expectations.
