UX/UI
The JobWorks web app focuses on connecting local contractors and small business owners with clients in their area through profiles, reviews, pricing transparency, and a simple search process — all designed to be affordable and easy to use. We were able to successfully create this through our usability interface (UI) design and user experience (UX) all the way through to our app developer and engineer experts.
The platform acts like a search engine or marketplace for trades and small services rather than a traditional job board.
Clients can also create profiles to store their contact information for easier future use.
Under the direction of Owen, we created JobWorks' brand new branding and logo, both large (desktop, advertising) and small (mobile, app) versions.
We were able to achieve all of that, and it is now available to use on all devices! If you're looking for a trade, give JobWorks' website a try!
Case Study
The Project
A locally owned and operated web and mobile platform designed to connect contractors, tradespeople, and small businesses with clients quickly, affordably, and without the complexity of traditional marketplaces.
The Problem
Small businesses and tradespeople struggled to consistently generate work through existing channels.
Key challenges included:
- Traditional advertising platforms were expensive and inaccessible for smaller operators
- Search engine traffic focused heavily on larger businesses, leaving smaller businesses unseen
- Existing directories and marketplaces were often overly complex or not built for trades-specific workflows
- Contractors lacked an easy way to promote services, showcase credibility, and be discovered locally
- Customers faced friction when trying to find reliable, local professionals quickly
- Many tools were not designed for non-technical users, limiting adoption
- Businesses struggled to stay visible
- Customers struggled to find the right provider
- And both sides lost time, money, and opportunities
The Solution
Kelowna Software partnered to design and build JobWorks, a streamlined platform focused on simplicity, affordability, and local connection.
Key elements of the solution:
- A locally-focused search and discovery platform connecting clients with nearby contractors and businesses
- Simple, guided onboarding allowing even non-tech-savvy users to quickly create profiles
- Customizable business profiles including:
- Services, credentials, and coverage areas
- Transparent pricing and availability
- Built-in review and ranking system, including QR-based reviews to increase visibility
- Affordable subscription model, significantly lowering the barrier to entry
- Dual-sided experience:
- Businesses gain visibility and leads
- Customers can easily search, compare, and hire
The Result
JobWorks created a scalable, accessible platform that empowers small businesses while improving how customers find and hire local services.
Outcomes include:
- Increased visibility for small businesses, without high advertising costs
- Simplified customer acquisition, helping contractors connect with relevant local opportunities
- Faster, easier hiring experience for customers seeking trusted professionals
- A platform designed for broad accessibility, including non-technical users
- A scalable foundation supporting expansion across regions and industries
