Marketplace · Product Film

A 55-second product walkthrough for the HomeGig home-services marketplace – sign-up, posting a job, bidding and project tracking on desktop, then sign-up and room scanning on mobile.

Overview

A companion to the HomeGig website design. Instead of describing the marketplace, the film shows it: the product's own screens are placed on laptop and phone mockups and introduced one feature at a time – sign up, post your project, apply on projects, projects in progress – before switching to mobile for sign-up and an in-app camera scan of the room. Homeowners and professionals each see their side of the marketplace before they ever visit the site.

Approach

How it was designed

  1. 01

    One feature per shot, each with a two- or three-word caption – the film works on mute, which is how most people meet it in a feed.

  2. 02

    The brand's teal enters as a colour block that slides behind each device, carrying the viewer from one feature to the next.

  3. 03

    Homeowner and professional features share one film, because a two-sided marketplace only works if both sides sign up.

  4. 04

    Mobile is saved for last and leads with the camera scan – the one feature the desktop product cannot show.
