Here’s a set of UX and UI requirements tailored to your multivendor wedding platform MVP, designed for smooth development on Vercel (ideal for frameworks like Next.js). These requirements are broken down into UX strategy and UI components—focusing on performance, user flow, clarity, and minimal-yet-celebratory aesthetics.

🎯 UX Requirements (User Experience)

1. Homepage Experience

• Fast-loading landing (under 2s) with above-the-fold CTA: “Plan Your Dream Wedding in Nigeria.”
• Display a search bar: “Find vendors by city or category.”
• Surface interactive AI onboarding preview (chat bubble or prompt).
• Vendor category teaser: Up to 6 top categories with sample listings or icons.
• Include a visual user story/testimonial slider (1 diaspora couple success story).

2. Interactive AI Onboarding Flow

• Chat-style interface with conversational questions (1 per screen).
• Response-driven logic: If user chooses “Need help finding vendors,” AI suggests best matches.
• Use emoji/icons subtly to create warmth.
• Ends with call-to-action: “Sign up to start planning” or “View vendor matches.”

3. Navigation & Flow

• Use a sticky top navbar with:

  • Logo (click = home)
  • “Vendors” dropdown
  • “Planning Tools”
  • “Wedding Website”
  • “Login / Sign Up”

• Mobile-first design with hamburger menu.

4. Vendor Marketplace UX

• Category filters (grid format): Food, Décor, Photography, Makeup, Venues, etc.

• Sort options: Price, Ratings, Location.

• Card previews with:

  • Vendor name, thumbnail, location, rating stars, starting price.
  • “View Profile” CTA.

• Vendor detail pages with Airbnb-style layout:

  • Image slider
  • “Request to Book” calendar
  • Vendor story/bio
  • Reviews + testimonials
  • Optional WhatsApp/email button (low-friction)

5. Wedding Website Generator

• Guided form UX:

  • Step 1: Couple names
  • Step 2: Date/location
  • Step 3: Upload photo + story

• Preview mode with easy share link (e.g., yoursite.com/adeandzara)

6. Planning Tools UX
