I’m happy to launch some exciting new updates to the site:
* Completely new design including rotating featured quotes and a two-column presentation of most recent quotes. This redesign focused on making the site cleaner in order to better showcase the quotes.
* Quote archive - browse all quotes or view by topic or author. This is to complement the gallery, and to make it easier to browse all quotes at once.
* The submit a quote feature has been moved to the sidebar on all blog pages to (hopefully) make it faster and easier to submit quotes.
There are a few quirks in IE that I’m still working through–primarily on the quote archive page. I’ll also be making other small tweaks to the site over the next week or so.
Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback on my site preview last week. I tried to incorporate as much of your feedback as possible.
Let me know if you have any comments about the new design and features!
“The problems that products are designed to solve require the use of many design disciplines. Some of these design efforts work directly at the user’s interaction while others are employed to address the business’ bottom line. But all of these design considerations affect, and sometimes create, an intended experience for the product… I encourage us change our discourse to include the idea of a product experience, instead of the experience that only deals with the user.” – Andrew Crow
This quote is from Andrew’s article “A product’s experience goes beyond User Experience.”
