Creating a wellness app from scratch comes with its own set of challenges. The primary goal was to ensure that Day Won not only engaged users but also built a community around the shared journey of personal growth. Users often face overwhelming choices when it comes to wellness; therefore, simplifying their journey was essential. We needed to craft a user-friendly interface that clearly presented daily challenges and the necessary resources without overwhelming them.
Additionally, we had to design a system that would encourage genuine connections between users and their Champions, creating a sense of accountability and support that is crucial for habit formation. Our research revealed that users often struggle with staying motivated over time, so our design had to incorporate elements that would keep users engaged, remind them of their goals, and celebrate their achievements.
Solution
To address these challenges, we designed Day Won as an engaging and approachable platform that emphasizes community and support. The UI is colorful and lively, reflecting the positive mindset we wanted to instill in users. The onboarding experience was crafted to be friendly and straightforward, ensuring new users felt welcomed and set up for success right from the start.
The weekly Action Plan feature was designed to guide users through manageable tasks that promote gradual changes, while the progress tracking dashboard gives users a clear overview of their achievements and encourages continued effort. Champion connections are built directly into the app, allowing users to message and support each other, creating a sense of camaraderie. Customizable push notifications remind users of their daily actions and celebrate milestones, helping to maintain motivation.
