This is a similar service to what I aim to create. Therefore I am using this closely as inspiration for content, and what issues I can find within the service that I can solve in my own work. One ‘issue’ with this service is that it is American based, meaning there is a gap in this market for my product.

 

Interesting Aspects:

1. Product Features

The features of GiveGab is arguably more developed and offers more to the individual that ‘Razoo’ (refer to previous research). This is because GiveGab offers crowdfunding to non-profits along with volunteering. These are two main elements to my current idea. Therefore this solidifies my idea to collaborate these two aspects of contribution to a community for the project.

 

Considerations:

After this piece of research, I still feel as though my project could offer more to the ideas of ‘active citizenship’ by adding more elements that can benefit a community.

From researching into GiveGab I think there needs to be a higher place of important around a friendly user interface home page in comparison to GiveGabs. This could include the design and aesthetics including the icons used and house style used.
