Thanks to companies like Apple, consumers now expect high-quality design as a default. For startups, this means a fantastic product can be ignored if the UX feels slightly off. Good design is no longer a differentiator but a fundamental prerequisite for earning a user's initial trust.
To onboard professionals with established workflows (like realtors), platforms should minimize friction. Instead of forcing adoption of a new tool, Conveyo uses a lightweight model with email digests and a concierge service. This respects existing habits and lowers the barrier to participation.
