Cross Platform Experience
Product Details
The importance of cross-platform experience for a digital product cannot be overstated. With the proliferation of devices and platforms, it is essential for a digital product to be seamlessly accessible from anywhere and from any device. A truly cross-platform experience ensures that users can access your product on their computers, smartphones, tablets, or other devices without any hiccups. One of the key recommendations to the client was to implement the platform to be supported on all possible devices.
Privacy Levels
Product Details
As a strategic design recommendation, it is important to consider the privacy levels and different types of accounts that classic car collectors online portal should provide for its users. One option is to offer public accounts, where users' profiles and information are visible to everyone on the platform. This type of account can be useful for those who want to network and connect with others in the classic car collector community. However, it may not be suitable for those who prefer greater privacy and control over their information. Another option is to offer anonymous accounts, where users' profiles and information are not visible to others on the platform. This type of account can be appealing to those who desire greater privacy and anonymity. It is important to provide users with a choice of account types so that they can choose the level of privacy and control that suits their needs best.
