plus benefits to & not intruding on
what we hoped...
a sitebuilder for ‘Jeremy’
the reality
achievable improvements
- refocus the interface on the people who use it most
- rework the information architecture to support this (+ scalability + enhanced usability)
- simplify the interface by focusing on the 80% use case
- updated visual design (friendly, professional, current)
- maintain focus on accessibility
- remove ambiguity re: ‘where am I?’ admin/website without removing context ‘what am I working on’
- an interface to be proud of.
- reduce support & customisation overheads
