Fresh Cart


Fresh Cart is a fictional organization that handles redistribution of excess fresh produce. It allows citizens with excess produce to donate to people in food deserts. There are many fortunate people that have access to fresh produce yet so much of it goes to waste each year. The goal of Fresh Cart is to change that.

The application created for this project has two main task flows. One is for users interested in donating produce. The other is for users looking to acquire produce.



Here's How It Works

Users interested in donating food have several options regarding how the produce is collected from them. They are able to look up the location of Fresh Cart collection facilities in the app or request a pickup from a location of their choice.

Users interested in acquiring produce are able to search for Fresh Cart stands close to them. They are then able to map directions to a cart, see what produce is available that day, or call with any questions.



Usability Testing

"All of these buttons look the same and therefore it’s difficult to tell where I should be looking. What is the most important feature on this page? Where should my eye go?"

"Do I need to bring anything with me if I’d like to pick up produce? Is there anything I’d need to know ahead of time?"

"What can I do if I want to go to the homepage without having to click backwards through each page?"

"Is there a way for me to see the all Fresh Cart locations in my area on a map rather than a list?"



Based on user testing it was clear that users understood the flow and purpose of the app. All participants were able to complete the task flows given to them without a problem. While there were plenty of positive outcomes of the user testing sessions, some areas of concern involved:

  • All buttons were the same size in early iterations. Users reported not knowing what the main call to action was because there was no visual hierarchy to guide them.
  • In the initial version of the Fresh Cart app, there was no home button. Users were required to press a “back” button many times to reach the home page. Test participants were bothered that they had to do this to get to the home screen.
  • Initially, the only way to view various Fresh Cart produce stands or collections facilities was via a list of locations in the app. Users reported that they would also like to see a map with the locations so that they could see where they were in relation to the destination.
