For every project, there are always different design processes that I would use depending on the situation and time constraint for the project. And to Redesign Craiglist I took a different approch than I did with GTU's website because both websites are very different than each other and they have their own specific purpose.
Goals
Make it simple, easy to use and more attractive by changing the UI elements.Give some breathing space on the website.Make it easier for users to navigate within the website to have a better experience overall.
The Design process
My goal here was to redesign the main pages from
Craiglist. So I've focused on Home, Cars+trucks and House for sale section with its main interactions.

Analysis
I first started looking what could be improved?
The visual could be improved, but what else? So I started pinpointing
some stuff that I think could be improved.
Then I started researching about on who are Craiglist's competitors and how I can make this product better by adding additional features that competitors don’t have.
In Indian market two biggest competitors of Cragslist are OLX and Quicker . So I took some reference from the UI of OLX, because when the new users take their first visit to the website they do not get overwhelmed visually.
In India Cragslist is not a big website yet, so I started gathering users reviews from the internet about what kind of problems they are facing while using Cragslist.
On the basis of research I started making rough sketch (Wireframes) of the design.
