Locally App

Project Description

An Andriod Lite-based app that enables users to discover local small businesses and services around them while minimizing bandwidth utilization.

Problem

Big businesses have unlimited marketing resources, where small businesses and freelancers have to keep hustling to continue revenue flow. How might we design a solution to empower the community to highlight small businesses and/or creators through a platform of discovery?

Insights

Users value the customer service & community that is associated with small businesses. However, many Android users across the globe struggle with low-bandwidth, which hinders online discoverability for small businesses.

Solutions

Locally combines social media and location-based services to introduce users to local businesses / services curated specifically for them. The app enables the user to discover new merchants and services around them while minimizing bandwidth utilization.
