Design Concepts Challenge
The Purpose of this challenge is to create visual/graphic design concepts for a website that allows new hires/employees for eBay to request computer equipment, accessories and other office equipment. Remember this needs to be very simple!
Flow of the Application:
Recruiter Flow:
- A recruiter adds the new employee's First Name and Last Name, on saving/submitting generates a URL (e.g. https://foo.bar.com/234Ha723W2736sdfh323sdf4234).
- The recruiter then sends out a personal email to the new employee with this URL.
New Employee Flow:
- New Employee clicks on the URL and is shown a Welcome page with their First Name, Last Name and will have option to enter the "Store".
- Within the "Store", they will have options to select their required/requested computer equipment, accessories and other ergonomics.
- They are then able to check out.
- They will be able to confirm the order and we show them a Thank you message.
- New Employees will also be able to view Help in this site at any point of time.
