Problem -
Finding rental home that feels like 'home' is frustating and
overwhelming experience, due to
inadequate online platforms, limited access to
relevant information and a
time-consuming search process.
Goal -
To develop an intuitive and user-friendly rental home search
platform. This platform aims to provide accurate and up-to-date
property information, offer personalized search results and
reccomendations, and ensure a seamless and efficient search
experience.
End-Users -
• Renters(individuals and families) seeking rental properties.
• Property managers and
landlords listing rental properties.
Solution -
Here's HomeAlike- an online rental marketplace connecting homeowners
and renters, simplifying the rental process.
Features -

Process -
• It all started with recognizing problem (when my colleagues living away home, started complaining
about unavailablity of adequate space to settle at)
• I looked for solution on internet, but
couldn't find the right one.
•That's when came this idea to me.
•And the rest process was
messy, creating wireframes, prototyping ideas, user-journey and a lot.
Reflection -
"As the creator of HomeAlike, I recognize that shelter is a fundamental human necessity, second only to food.
Every individual deserves a safe, secure, and comfortable place to call home. Driven by this understanding, I
am committed to developing a platform that streamlines the rental search process, making it more accessible,
efficient, and equitable for all."
