Budget: €5,000 – €10,000 EUR
:
⸻
App Name: CarZone
App Goal:
CarZone is a platform that allows users to sell and buy cars, submit leasing requests, and quickly sell their vehicles. The app provides a comprehensive search function, a TikTok-like scrolling feature, and a leasing calculator that shows the monthly payment. Sellers can list their cars, and the app allows them to quickly sell their vehicles with a 48-hour price estimation.
Languages:
The app should primarily be in German, and ideally, it should also support French to cater to a wider user base.

Technical Requirements

Design Requirements

The design should be modern, user-friendly, and easy to navigate. Colors should convey a professional feeling but also be modern and attractive.
• Home Page: Overview with the two main options: “Search for Vehicles” and “List a Vehicle”.
• Vehicle Listings: Clear and structured vehicle details with the option to view the vehicle image.
• Chat: Simple and intuitive chat interface.
• Leasing Page: Clear instructions and form fields for document uploads.

The design should look good on both smartphones and tablets.
