Adam Goldstein started a summer project which might just be the best way for online flight search called Hipmunk. Goldstein got just a little bit of help from friend and Reddit co-founder, Steve Huffman. This was how they came up with the new site. The site is user-friendly and has many colors, making Goldstein a genius within the website business.
Hipmunk is a huge change to travel
Normally there is a boring list of flights on websites. Hipmunk changes this by making it more easy to read and colorful. Hipmunk just launched this week, but tech industry reviews are glowing. TechCrunch writes that “When you see the results you’ll never want to see flight results in any other format.” The team spent a lot of time on how the look of Hipmunk is perceived, which is said by Lifehacker to be “fantastic” which pleases Goldstein. There’s no clutter of text and buttons, just a color-coded arrangement of airlines. Searchers and very easily zoom in on a favored in the grid at any time for additional details.
Maybe winning with ‘a small, cute animal and a good logo’
Orbitz was probably the most popular online travel company that Goldstein and Huffman made their deal with for flight booking after checking many different online websites. Orbits and Hipmunk work together to book flights. Hipmunk books it through Orbitz making both win. When going to Twitter, the bluebird is acknowledged as the logo. Hipmunk is about the exact same considering the chipmunk in flight goggles that will soon be recognizable. Goldstein’s girlfriend, according to CNN, chose the mascot.
Goldstein explains, “She said, ‘If you pick a small, cute animal and a good logo you’ll never go wrong.’”
Storing acorns for winter
Hipmunk has been evolving a bit. It is trying to improve each day with new ideas. Expanding search functions is something Goldstein would like to do. He’d also like to stop spam from hitting users each and every time they get on. It’s more likely that hotels and auto rentals will be added on. Numerous wonder what Hipmunk’s plans are when it comes to adding content. It might be difficult to keep up the design with these changes. Of course, all of us know that getting a flight will change. It can be less frustrating to do.
