Strategy Development
I sat down with the stakeholder to understand the business objective, background information, and requirements for the design. We would later regroup several times throughout the design cycle to revisit the strategy and ensure advancements were being made.
One area we discussed was structuring the backend system to support the creation of multiunit (MU) properties. The only difference between listing a single versus multiunit property is that the multiunit property would have unique information about each unit.
Instead of replicating the pages required to list a property for each subunit of a MU property, I proposed isolating the data required for a property listing (“overview”) and having pages specific to unit information separate. This way, content that pertains to all units were filled out once and content specific to each unit would be filled out on a one-by-one basis.
