If you visited Forum Nokia website recently, you’ve certainly noticed a brand new design. The Finnish giant’s developer network worked round the clock to make the new website better serve its members and non-members alike.
From the “official blog post:”
Matt Collins’ Forum Nokia Blog: First, it was important to all of us in Forum Nokia that we include actual users of all kinds at every step of this renewal process. So we created a Developer Advisory Committee, made up mostly of Champions, with which to discuss our ideas. We conducted the most comprehensive website research we’ve ever commissioned to capture your feedback and concerns. We spoke with several of you to help understand your pain points and goals online, and we did several rounds of testing to make sure that the site would enable you to get to the resources you need more quickly and efficiently. In other words, the changes you will see have been made with you in mind.
…You’ll see right away that we’ve got a new site design and information architecture (IA). We hope that you will find that both will make navigating easy. The IA includes an all-new way of uncovering our resources, a task-based approach to navigation that is called “I Want To.” You tell us what you want to do, and we’ll take you to the resource you need. This should make it even easier, especially for newcomers, to find what they need. If you like to subscribe to feeds, you’ll find lots of places throughout the site to subscribe to Forum Nokia content. Also, a persistent right-hand column will feature all the most important resources Forum Nokia has to offer, from upcoming events to online community highlights.
If you’re currently developing for any of Nokia-supported platforms, you’ve probably already noticed a redesign. We’re eager to hear your thoughts – do you find the new design more helpful? Does it make your life easier? Comments form is all yours…
