Wanteds — Concept C: Many Hands

Many Hands

Confident and people-powered: chunky type, bold outlines and a bright, sunny palette. It celebrates what people can do, while keeping navigation plain and predictable.

Proposed tagline (not approved copy): “Your neighbours can do more than you think.”

Search listings

Missing-image state uses type colour + category

Navigation, listing cards, filters and the registration gate are live in the prototype below.

Strengths and trade-offs

Most distinctive and shareable; strong on posters and social
Thick outlines keep cards readable without colour
Energetic tone suits mixed-age, town and city communities

Bold style can tire in dense views (list, messages)
Coral primary was darkened to #C4361E to keep white button text above 4.5:1
Hard shadows/outlines need care to stay consistent in Drupal

Mobile browse (live, 390px)

Mobile has its own bottom navigation, a central “Add” action, a collapsible filter panel and touch targets of at least 40–44px. Try the search, the Filters button and saving a listing. Open full-screen.

Your neighbours can do more than you think.
