CHALLENGE
Geolocating and premium dispensaries
Flowertown had is own unique criteria of which dispensaries would be shown on their finder. The locations must be a legal operation, which can be hard to determine in the cannabis space. Flowertowns had a hand picked list of premium dispensaries that catered towards new consumers. Each dispensary listed on their finder would also have a unique profile page.
THE DESIGN
Airbnb & Zagat functionality
Taking a note from Zagat and Airbnb, the map uses "search as I move" functionality. It loads all dispensaries from the database in the current viewpoint and as the user moves the map more API calls are only made in this view too improve load times.
I was the lead UI/UX designer and managed 2 developer using Agile project management. It was my responsibility to create a premium user experience, design, and to refine the designs with CSS on the front end. The project was be split up between the dispensary finder and dispensary pages.
Finder
The finder tells users vital information while searching for dispensaries. Whether or not they are Medical or Recreational, store hours, directions, contact info, and distance.
There are also a number of amenities people can use to refine their search. We found users in LA were particularly interested in which dispensaries offered onsite parking.
Profile pages
Profile pages were designed to showcase each dispensary. Here you can view photos and videos from inside the store, brands offered, deals, accolades, and more.
