Sistema Basado en una Aplicación Móvil de Ventas de Joyas para Generar un Ingreso Económico Alternativo a Madres Cabeza de Hogar

Abstract

The graduation project illustrates the process of designing, implementing, and using a mobile application developed in Flutter for the sale of jewelry, with the purpose of making it usable by single mothers. This project was carried out in collaboration with the Social Projection Center of Cazucá, involving the mothers who are part of it. This is particularly relevant because single mothers in Colombia constitute a vulnerable group. With this project, we aim to generate an economic activity they can benefit from. When working with the Social Projection Center, our goal was to make the project as realistic as possible.

The prototype design was implemented following the guidelines from the book “Effective Prototyping for Software Makers“, where the objective was to create a proposal as concrete and coherent as possible to avoid scattered proposals or sudden on-the-fly changes that would result in a loss of time. Additionally, we relied on Jacob Nielsen’s heuristics, which served as our guide to verify the application’s good acceptance. We used these heuristics to create a questionnaire directed at single mothers in order to obtain critical feedback on the project.
