It\u2019s crucial that designers apply more emphasis on creating a powerful UX. Some of the ways to do that could be:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding an engaging banner with a compelling message.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A search bar prominent on the banner.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top navigation bar with signup\/sign-in buttons, and \u2018post new listing\u2019 and a menu bar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How it Works section that describes different aspects of the platform.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Signup\/Sign-in<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s good to keep the sign-in\/sign-up process simple. There should be a dedicated page for both options. You can also provide an option for signup\/sign-in via Facebook. The overall signup process needs to be highly efficient. Asking for too much information will only turn users away.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Dashboard<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the user has logged-in, he\/she should be directed to the dashboard, which showcases the listings straightaway. This will be a unique approach for your adventure gear rental marketplace. Usually in other peer-to-peer platforms, dashboard comprises a central hub which showcases all the information related to users\u2019 accounts. Make a user-centric approach by offering a provision for a single account for rentee and renter.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Map View<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some marketplaces use a detailed map view of the listings, making it easy for the rentee to find products he\/she is looking for. Rather than searching for a specific item, the platform must allow its users to find all the gear available in a given location. This is not only a simplified approach for the rentee, but also streamlines the overall process from searching to finally renting a product.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Search Filters<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search is one of the key areas in any peer-to-peer rental website. With thousands of items, it becomes cumbersome for users to browse through each and every listing. The search functionality should be simple yet powerful. The search filters can make it easy to find relevant items within a few clicks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Users can also be allowed to sort the listing based on rentals as well as stores. Other useful filters can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Categories<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Price<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experience level<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brand<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other features<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Listing<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The listing page needs to be highly user-friendly with all the information at relevant places. Take special care in making the renting process fast and efficient. You can segment the page in this way:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The top banner must show the title of the item<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Left panel can showcase the images with the option to maximize the view.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The right panel should be dedicated to renting and contacting the item owner.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rating and review section in the second fold to facilitate trust-building on the platform.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Requesting The Gear<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your website must have an efficient booking system in place. Once users have selected a particular product and the respective date for rental, they should be taken to a booking form, showcasing the final price. Instead of booking an item straight away, they should first be asked to make a request to the owner. Only once the owner has approved the request, the rentee should be allowed to make the due payment. This is an effective approach to rule out the possibility of unavailable items.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover rentees should have the option to have\u00a0 direct conversation with the renter to discuss their questions and other requirements before making a request. If the vendor agrees to the, then the rentee can go ahead and make the corresponding booking request. This is an innovative booking procedure that focuses on creating a conversation channel between the renter and the renter\/vendor.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"cta_box\">\n<div class=\"cta_title\">\n<h2>Adventure Gear Marketplace Solution for Rental Operations<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta_button\"><a class=\"button customBtn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-rent.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Explore Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Post New Listing<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to keep the overall process of listing an item easy and simple. Place a button on the header that takes the users to \u201cadd a new listing\u201d form. The form should ask for some basic details about the rental product, which are vital from the rentee\u2019s perspective:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Category and subcategory<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listing type<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Title and description<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Price per day<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Images<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The overall process shouldn\u2019t take too much time. Moreover, consider adding some insurance policies that will safeguard both rentee and the vendor. This can increase user\u2019s confidence in sharing a personal item with a stranger.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Payment Options<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The overall process of making as well as receiving funds should be simple. Although PayPal is a robust and secure payment gateway, try to allow users to make and receive payments directly into their bank accounts without the interference of any middle gateway. Whatever option you go for, make sure it is secure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Messaging<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communication channels help renter and rentee interact before making the exchange. A robust messaging tool will go a long way in creating a community feel amongst members. With this, prospective rentees will be able to contact product owners to discuss their queries before making a rental request. FATbit recommends a similar approach for your adventure gear rental marketplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Vendor Profile<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each and every vendor must have a distinct profile page to make it easy for the rentee to get an overview of all the items they have to offer. Allow store owners to make profiles on the website and rent their products. The overall page should be highly intuitive and must offer detailed description related to the vendor. Additionally, all the open listings can be made visible to the users to facilitate product selection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Help section<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The concept of peer-to-peer rental marketplaces has been around for some time but is still confusing for new users. This is why a Help section is important. We at FATbit believe that rather than a query-sharing feature, a real time help chat can drive user trust in your favor. This is the reason why real-time chat functionality has become an industry standard. Go for a detailed FAQ section to get additional points.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your outdoor gear rental website must incorporate some unique ideas in order to stand out from the competition.
