Hi Lithium Community - I wanted to share our newly redesigned Community and learning hub: https://community.optimizely.com/optiverse. I'd love to know what you think! The way we approached this redesign was really interesting in my opinion. We use a ton of qualitative and quantitative data along the way. We leveraged wireframes to quickly test prototypes and validate design decisions. Our Community power users were constantly involved, providing feedback and ideas. I've written about the UX process in our blog post here. Here are the main new/improved pieces for our community: - A brand new, optimized aesthetic. The new Optiverse is redesigned to enhance usability. Many A/B tests led us to where we are today. Besides the data, our beta testers validated that it looked pretty darn good, too. - A central Optiverse homepage. There's now have a central page to see new updates to Community, Knowledge Base, and Academy. Our vision is to personalize this page for our customers over time. - New, swifter navigation. The new sidebar makes it easier to find what you want in Optiverse and switch between sections - SOLR search - we've optimized the design to make it easy for customers to differentiate between types of content. Search from any page in the Optiverse and we’ll try to provide the right answer We've taken a strong sampling of baseline data, so I'll be excited to share the results here with you a few months from now. I also want to give a major shoutout to @VarunGrazitti and @GrazittiI who helped us develop this awesome new site. Have any of you tackled a community redesign recently? I'd love to compare notes. Are any of you thinking of doing a redesign soon?
