Timeline
2023
Musha3 is an Arabic-first platform for owners of shared and short-stay properties. It connects Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda and Gathern, shows every booking on one calendar, and lets owners run the day from a desk or a phone. I designed the product experience in 2023: the landing page, the owner dashboard, the admin panel and the responsive mobile version.
The Challenge: Four Channels, Four Calendars, One Owner
Owners list the same property on several platforms, each with its own calendar, prices and rules. Connecting a channel happens on another website, with agreements and property IDs to copy. And the day itself, arrivals, departures, payments and requests, needs one view on a laptop and on a phone. The product had to be clear before signup and calm once inside.
Decision 01: Explain the Value Before Asking for an Account
The landing page leads with a clear promise and a product preview, then features, the four connected channels and a four-step start, before pricing. Sign-up asks only for what is needed and ends on a clear success screen.
Decision 02: Structure the Operator’s Day at a Glance
The dashboard leads with units, bookings, nights and occupancy, keeps the financial report in its own block, and lists bookings by channel. Before data arrives, empty states say what will appear and keep manual booking one click away.
Decision 03: Put Every Booking in the Context of Time
The calendar maps every property against the days, with channel, status and price on each booking. A side panel opens a booking or request without leaving the grid, and manual bookings use the same panel, so phone and walk-in guests live on the same calendar.
Decision 04: Guide a Setup That Happens on Another Website
Channels appear as recognisable logos, the selected one is highlighted before connecting, and the partner site’s steps follow as a numbered guide with screenshots. A success state confirms the properties are linked.
Decision 05: Rebuild for the Phone, Do Not Just Shrink It
On mobile, the wide calendar becomes a month picker with the day’s bookings below, channel guides stack the reference screenshot above each step, and booking details and settings open as full pages.
The System
Right-to-left from the first wireframe: Almarai for Arabic, slate for long tables and lists, and electric blue kept for actions and the selected day.
The Outcome
127 screens across desktop and mobile, from the landing page to the admin panel, connecting product discovery with everyday operations. Figures in the screens are sample data.
