What Makes Redesigns Worthwhile?

Reflecting on our recent launch, we asked the Twitter community in #UXPinChat their thoughts on the promise and peril of redesigns.

@uxpin q1 definitely +1 for groups within groups! And I love both dark and light version :) #uxpinchat

@uxpin q1 groups within groups to organize the design better! #uxpinchat

Zoom. Get close on the nitty gritty details or step back for the bird's eye view. #UXPinChat #uxpinredesigned https://t.co/6wOzt9CFOp

A1. Having groups in groups. Designs can get complex and this feature will help you stay organized! Boom! #uxpinchat https://t.co/kXur3PnnLL

A1 Personally I like the ability to manipulate the #UI, like the light/dark and detachable panels #UXPinChat

@uxpin #UXPinChat #uxpinredesigned – Snapping to grids would be awesome! Also, snapping to canvas bounds.

#UXPinchat A2 when user engagement is not up to your standard and UI is too cluttered to change it with small improvements. Cc @uxpin

If your site still resembles a Geocities page … #uxpinchat #redesign #webdesign https://t.co/nwrnoR6d0P

A2) @uxpin Calendar isn't a bad idea for a check-in. Ex, "Every X months." When traffic is down is a big sign. #UXPinChat #SiteAnalytics

A2 When users have to email you for info that’s on the site. Or they can’t figure out what your site’s even about. #UXPinChat

— Benjamin Gremillion (@ux_benjamin) June 10, 2016

A2.2) Alternatively, if your site is used in an article on what NOT to do. #UXPinChat https://t.co/NaTgsNeaaa

A2 When you get to a company's website and you have absolutely no idea what they do beyond "disruption" #UXPinChat

@uxpin Q2 when other sites are being mean and make fun of you
