New Features on Aslout.com

Today I’m excited to announce that we’re rolling out changes to Aslout.com that give Aslout people everywhere new ways to interact with their beloved village. We’ve also made it easier for users to keep up-to-date with what’s happening in Aslout. Here’s a list of some of the enhancements we’ve made to the way you search, browse, and share information on Aslout.com:

1. Simplified local navigation within each of the Aslout.com areas (Profile, News, Photo Album, Videos, Contacts, etc.).
2. A cleaner, less-cluttered look.
3. More room available for page content.

An easier way to navigate and find information on Aslout.com

We began the redesign effort several months ago by analyzing how people use Aslout.com.  We looked at what features people use the most and pored over 5 years of data from usability research on the site. Armed with this information we began doing design explorations of how to better organize Aslout.com features, and make them more convenient to find and use.

We factored into this effort additional features we knew were coming. We narrowed down the designs to a few candidates we felt were strong contenders. We then prototyped these designs and performed testing tasks with the prototypes. We went through numerous iterations until we arrived at a design we felt worked the best.  One of the key features of the new design is that it allows much more space for page content – information about you and Aslout.

We are now doing limited testing of the new design. We are still iterating and would love to hear your feedback!  Feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of the page.
