CONTEXT
Avan Market is an e-commerce platform for buying and selling in-game skins for CS2, Dota 2, and Rust. Users come to the platform with different goals: to quickly sell their inventory, find выгодные предложения, or safely purchase rare items.
Despite the platform’s demand, the current interface creates friction in key user scenarios: navigation feels overloaded, and search and filtering lack clarity and transparency.
PRINCIPLES
— Clear and Predictable Navigation
We restructured the platform to ensure users always understand where they are and how to achieve their goals with minimal effort.
— Expressive Yet Balanced Visual Style
We used accent colors and dynamic typography to guide user attention, while maintaining clean and well-structured layouts.
— Consistency and Clarity
We built a cohesive design system that makes the interface predictable and easy to use for both new and experienced users.
FILTERING EXPERIENCE
To simplify recognition, we introduced visual cues — skin silhouettes and icons — directly into the filters. This helps users quickly identify different skin types without relying solely on text.
We also restructured the filtering layout:
— The left sidebar is now dedicated to high-level navigation, allowing users to browse major skin categories and types.
— The top section focuses on specific attributes such as price, rarity, and other item properties.
