Software development for startups: Bezuke, a networking app for travelers

USA Travel Social media June - December 2024

Bezuke is a social networking platform for travelers. It was created to connect people heading to the same destinations and share local recommendations. The goal was to build a straightforward website that is responsive, functional and puts users first.

NERDZ LAB provided expert web development services, crafting a social app that delivers precisely what the client had envisioned: a user-friendly platform designed for travelers.

Product_

NERDZ LAB has an excellent track record of software development for startups, and that’s exactly what the founders of Bezuke were looking for. They were specifically interested in our web app development and design services, and that’s how we started working on this social network for travelers that is tailored to the US market.

As a social media app, Bezuke allows users to create profiles, share their stories in the “About” section, post upcoming trips to connect with others heading to or living in the same destination, explore recommendations, and share their favorite spots. Users can also save trip memories in a personal album, keeping their adventures organized.

We built the app’s core around the opportunities to “meet people” and “find things to do.” This approach ensures that Bezuke offers more than a typical website for travelers. Its networking functionality allows users to connect with locals or fellow travelers in the area, plan adventures by exploring curated recommendations, discover hidden gems, or find a buddy for shared experiences.

Features_

  • Interactive travel connections. Users can plan trips, set travel dates, and specify interests for potential meetups with others.
  • Google Maps integration. This lets users explore destinations with interactive pins that provide detailed information about each location.
  • Real-time communication. The chat feature lets users connect instantly, making conversations easy and meaningful.
  • Personalized recommendations. Tailored suggestions are based on travel preferences and past activities, making it easier to explore destinations and connect with like-minded travelers.

Design overview

Following the client’s vision to create a social networking website, we started with close collaboration during the discovery phase. During this step, our team focused on creating a clear, actionable plan for the project. We began by developing wireframes to outline how the app would function, followed by designing a user-friendly interface that reflects the spirit of adventure and connection.

While we didn’t conduct user testing on our own, the client shared feedback collected from users, which helped us refine the final design. The communication between our teams was clear and consistent, with regular check-ins to keep the project on track. A dedicated designer worked closely with the client, promptly addressing feedback and integrating adjustments into the design process.

The result is an easy-to-use platform built for flexibility. It works perfectly on desktop, tablet, and mobile so that users can stay connected anytime, anywhere.
