Price comparison made simple

Buybuyfree - price comparison
Project Comparare prezzi in semplicità

Company bio

Buybuyfree is an Italian startup active in the e-commerce field. It deals with online price comparison by rewarding the loyalty of its customers, making them earn from their purchases thanks to cashback rewards.

What we were asked

We were involved in the redesign of the website and mobile, dialoguing with the Buybuyfree team from the very beginning. We have been in charge of Research activities: in defining the use cases, Design: in drafting the user flows of the wireframes and the graphic interface. We focused in particular on the following activities:

👉 Define the user flows in detail to foresee all possible use cases

👉 Design a user experience for the product that was intuitive and in line with Buybuyfree’s need for renewal.

👉 Design a modern and tidy user interface in which the elements of the new design system created ad hoc could be clear and usable for the end user.

What we did

Starting from a shared board, we immediately started a co-design phase with the customer to better structure and define the user flows and wireframes of the product and then create the new user interface. In particular, we focused on the following areas.

Product search by categories:

Buybuyfree’s existing categorization system made it difficult to navigate intuitively within it. Our proposal was to synthesize, together with the customer, the items of the categories, further merging those that were very similar to each other and creating a hierarchy that is easier to navigate for the user.

Smart search

Through a change also in technology, we have proposed a smarter search, which would return more solutions to the user who searches by keyword. Through the search bar, the user can in fact search not only for products, but also for categories, brands and brands within the buybuyfree database.

Registered user section

The ultimate goal of converting visitors into registered users set the stage for the creation of a new registered user section. This section had to clarify, both graphically, but also in terms of content, on the ways in which buybuyfree works, which rewards those who buy products through its site, through the best cashback in circulation.

What we loved about this project

Working on this project was an excellent opportunity for us to design a unique price comparator. Through continuous weekly checkpoints with the Buybuyfree team, we developed a site that could maximize user experience satisfaction and at the same time have a fresh and innovative image.

How does glueglue work and what are your areas of expertise?

We start with an in‑depth needs analysis, considering product and business objectives in the medium to long term. We often begin with visual identity: we assess positioning, analyze competitors, and identify opportunities to improve brand and image. We then move to UX/UI: we conduct a professional UX Review to identify areas for intervention and improve the usability of the site or app. We design the User Journey Map, mapping all touchpoints to understand real use cases and where to create tangible value. We create wireframes and share an interactive prototype that defines the functionality, structure, and interactions of each page. Once the wireframes are consolidated, we refine the interface design in detail to ensure a pleasant and consistent experience. Finally, our developers implement the product with modern technologies such as React, Flutter, Symfony, Svelte, Node.js, and more, ensuring quality, stability, and pixel‑perfect results.

Instead, we take the time to understand the context and propose a tailored approach with a fair, appropriate investment. Our UX/UI design projects start at €15,000, while branding engagements begin at €8,000. Mobile app development typically requires an investment starting from €40,000, web apps from €30,000, and websites from €15,000. Our average hourly rate for consulting is €70/hour.

Do you also work with early‑stage startups, therefore with limited resources?
