Thoughts and Suggestions The points below are based on thinking around user experience (UX) and UI functionality in relation to search products and the existing Vast site. This is not a comprehensive analysis, study or proposed course of action but rather some discussion topics that may or may not relate to Vast's ultimate strategic objectives: User research and analysis for each domain (category), needs, goals, etc.; consider interaction design based on behaviour and end user feedback. Add persistent global navigation that allows for orientation throughout the site and supports the idea of multiple domain access/expertise. Intelligence around search criteria/choices, show users what they have looked at before; alert them to what has changed/updated around since their last search. Look at integrating community features to elicit feedback and help users make better selections/decisions. Create a more personalized experience; direct connection to brokers, dealerships, other purchasers on the site. Make domain search experiences distinct within the site; different goals, information, emotions, etc. are in play when searching for cars, real estate, rentals.
