Product walkthrough
02 / The problem & the approach

What the experience needs to solve

Finding the right professional starts with understanding what they know and whether that expertise matches a specific need. A directory needs a clear path from broad discovery to a more focused search.

The approach

The public site explains the network, the expert directory supports exploration, and account access gives returning users a consistent way back into the platform.

The story, screen by screen.

01 / Product experience

Introduce the network

As someone seeking expertise, I want to understand who the platform is for before I start searching.

The homepage establishes the service and gives the visitor a starting point for discovering professionals.

Explore expertise

As a visitor, I want to browse the directory so I can narrow my search to relevant professionals.

A dedicated search surface brings expert discovery into one place instead of asking users to navigate unrelated pages.

Return to an account

As a returning user, I need a clear sign-in path and a way to recover access.

Dedicated sign-in and recovery pages separate account access from the public discovery experience.

Engineering the experience

Next.js separates public discovery pages from account routes, so exploring the network does not begin with a login wall.

Firebase handles account identity; registration, email verification, and password recovery are distinct states rather than one overloaded form.
