DOMIVO
A safer path from property search to enquiry
DOMIVO brings property seekers, agents and administrators into one accountable marketplace built around reviewed listings and clearer decisions.
Making the complicated feel clear.
Property discovery in Nigeria is often spread across informal channels, duplicated posts and incomplete listing details. Seekers need confidence before they enquire, while serious agents need a credible way to publish and manage inventory.
Design the system, then the screens.
I treated trust as a product workflow rather than a marketing claim. The experience separates public discovery, authenticated seeker actions, agent onboarding and internal moderation, while keeping the catalogue fast and understandable on mobile.
From product question to production route.
- 01
Map both sides of the marketplace
Defined the journeys for seekers, agents and administrators, then used those journeys to establish route boundaries, permissions and the information each role needs.
- 02
Build a reusable property system
Created consistent listing cards, filter controls, detail views, saved searches and responsive media patterns so new inventory could scale without redesigning every screen.
- 03
Make trust operational
Connected Supabase authentication, row-level security, agent profiles, listing review states and moderation tools so protected actions are enforced beyond the interface.
- 04
Harden discovery and launch
Added route-level metadata, structured data, analytics consent, database-backed discovery paths and responsive performance work for a production-hosted technical preview.
Details that make the experience hold together.
Search that stays understandable
Catalogue filters, pagination and saved searches preserve the user’s intent without turning the mobile interface into a control panel.
Protected marketplace actions
Authentication and database policies guard saved properties, enquiries, reports, agent onboarding and administrative review flows.
Media-rich property detail
Responsive image galleries, optional video tours, pricing context, agent information and safety guidance support a more informed enquiry.
A maintainable product foundation
Typed data access, route-level loading states, reusable UI primitives and testable server boundaries keep the growing surface coherent.
A shipped foundation with room to learn.
The most important design decision was to make credibility visible in the workflow: reviewed professionals, listing states, clear fees and safety guidance. The next stage is validating those trust signals with real marketplace activity and refining them from observed behaviour.
What was verified, without invented metrics.
Production route verification
The public catalogue, listing discovery, authentication boundaries and responsive navigation were verified on domivo.ng in August 2026.
Security implementation
Protected marketplace actions are backed by PostgreSQL row-level security and role-specific policies, not interface-only permission checks.
Honest measurement
No conversion or traffic figures are presented because the technical preview does not yet have a statistically useful public usage window.
