Design Considerations

The functionalities of the kiosk was designed with the older population and users with impaired senses in mind. It incorporates a voice-over guide in four languages – English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil– to cater to non-English speaking users. Additionally, visual interface elements are kept large for better readability and navigation. For instance, we used large-sized Emojis for users to better express their emotions during the rating.

Show, Don’t Tell

Design tools are crucial for us at Hipster. With these tools, we created prototypes that feel like the real experience quickly. User interface elements and interactions are defined. Prototyping takes the guesswork out for our clients and development team. It gives us the freedom to design, test and iterate – while running a speedy design process.

We have recently received complaints that members of the public are targeted by some agents through WhatsApp who claim to be from Hipster Private Limited and using our UEN number of Hipster Private Limited to prove that they are legit Singapore companies.

They also use a similar looking domain name, our logo, and address on the website to make it as similar & credible as possible.

We want to make it very clear that Our company doesn't appoint any agent/recruiter for this so call 'money earning by apps rating' or 'any Ponzi scheme' where you need to deposit any money to get jobs.

Our jobs are always posted on official company pages on social media such as Linkedin, Instagram, Facebook and WSG.
