01 / Situation

The situation

A generic “leave a review” link misses two different user needs. Happy customers need a fast path to the channel they already trust. Dissatisfied customers need space to explain what happened and confidence that the business will receive it.

Audience

Recent real-estate clients responding to a post-service feedback request.

Journey

02 / Design logic

Design decisions

Ask for one judgement first

The initial half-star rating is low effort and determines which follow-up is relevant. The interface avoids presenting all possible actions at once.

Branch without blaming the user

Higher ratings reveal external review options; lower ratings reveal a private feedback field. Both routes acknowledge the experience in neutral language.

Confirm the end state

Private feedback shows a visible success message. The public portfolio version intercepts external actions and stores nothing, so the demonstration cannot post a review or contact a client server.
