The brief

Buying a car is a big decision. The app had to earn trust on a small screen.

Motory brings new cars, used cars, offers and car news into one Saudi marketplace. The existing app worked, but it felt dated and buyers had to dig to find the car, the price and the next step.

We redesigned the main app from requirements and research to final UI, and planned how to introduce the new design to people who already used the old one.

Who it's for
  • Car buyers in Saudi ArabiaCompare new and used cars, prices and finance options
  • Returning usersFind their favourite cars and news without relearning the app
  • Dealers and partnersReach serious buyers with clear offers
How we worked

From brief to final design

  1. 01

    Gather requirements

    Workshops with the Motory team to agree the product's goals, its users and what the first release must do.

  2. 02

    Research users and competitors

    User research plus a review of competing automotive platforms to find gaps worth closing.

  3. 03

    Wireframe the journeys

    Low-fidelity wireframes to settle structure and flows before any visual design.

  4. 04

    Design the UI

    High-fidelity screens, ready for development and consistent with the rest of the Motory family.

Role and responsibilities

  • User research

The experience
01

A home screen built around buying a car

Search sits at the top, brands and categories are one tap away, and the latest offers and new cars follow. Every card shows the price first, so buyers can scan quickly and only open what fits their budget.

  • Search, brands and categories above the fold
  • Offers and new arrivals as visual cards
  • Price and key specs on every listing
Home: search, brands, offers and new cars
Listings with price and key details
02

Sign in in seconds

Phone-number sign-in with a single clear action, and a More page that keeps account, language and support tidy. Arabic first, with English one tap away.

Bringing existing users along

A redesign can confuse loyal users. We added a short 'What's new' walkthrough that shows the old and new screens side by side, so people understand what changed and why it is better.

  • Old and new design compared screen by screen
  • Covers home, new cars and news
  • Skippable in one tap
What's new: the home page

04

News that keeps buyers coming back

Car news and reviews bring buyers back long before they are ready to buy. Stories are grouped by topic and link straight to the cars they mention.
