Early designs
This design is the first layout or a prototype of the app with a better minimal interface showing what would the app be like, we tried to make the design as simple as possible since based on our survey most people tend to book appointments through callings because it is easier so we are trying to make the steps easier so we can get more people to use the app more often and book an appointment within few clicks.
