Objectives

We need to give content creators the tools they need to succeed: customisable seller profiles, a simple sign-up process, and a detailed sales and revenue dashboard.

The main goal is to create a user-friendly interface that's easy to navigate. This means building a more effective filtering system to solve the content overload problem that many competitors face.

The plan is to set PromptGalaxy.ai apart from its competitors by focusing on their weak points. This includes offering advanced filtering options and a responsive mobile design.

Competitor Analysis

In terms of competitive research, I've found a few websites offering similar products (PromptSea, PromptHero, ChatX), identified three direct competitors (PromptBase, FlowGPT, PromptVine) and one indirect competitor (Runway). I noticed that most of these websites have a dark-themed design, which we could also do. But having a light colour palette will help us stand out from the competition. Most of them have a lot of content and it is hard to navigate through it, so we'd need to focus on filtering options. For example, we could filter by price, filter by rating, or choose a price range (the competitors don't have it).

User Persona

My research findings lead me to the persona definition, which is Sarah. Overall, Sarah is interested in creating content online, but the rapid pace of technological change means she must constantly stay up to date with the latest trends to remain competitive. She is looking for a platform to publish her content for sale, with the assurance that it will be protected from plagiarism and help her build a loyal customer base in the AI-generated marketplace.

Through the User's Eyes

I've put together a user journey map to get a better handle on what Sarah's experience is like, pinpoint some of the main areas that could be improved and see where there might be opportunities for enhancement.

The Challenge

It's hard for users to find and buy what they need quickly because there are too many prompts on competitor websites. This leads to a frustrating user experience.

The market is already saturated with visually similar designs, so it is crucial for PromptGalaxy.ai to differentiate itself from competitors and attract users.

The onboarding processes for new users on competitors' websites were complex, which made it challenging to quickly get started with exploring or selling prompts.

Key Features & Solutions

Designing the Landing Page

The landing page of PromptGalaxy.ai features an eye-catching hero section with a title and two buttons. Further down the page, you will find a number of main categories, followed by the popular prompts section. The page also includes a special "Our Picks" section, which is updated on a weekly basis and features unique prompts that deserve people's attention.

Listing Prompts

One of the best things about the ChatGPT Prompt Marketplace website is that it lets sellers create and show off their prompts for potential buyers. It's a simple, step-by-step process that gives interested users all the info they need to understand the prompt. Sellers start by giving their prompt a unique name, setting a price, providing a detailed description and uploading an image related to the prompt. In the next step, they choose a category that best aligns with the prompt's topic and purpose, specify the engine to generate responses to the prompt, and provide example input and output to demonstrate how the prompt functions and what users can expect regarding responses.

Enhanced Search & Filtering

Users have the option to sort prompts based on recency, popularity, and pricing. They can also apply filters based on price range, rating, and category to refine their search results.
