State of the UI

Prashant — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:57:18 +0000

Hey there again! I wanted to update everyone a little on the UI. As of this moment, I have completed about 95% of the screens for the app, as well as the homepage design. You can check out the sneak peak below:

As you can see from the screenshot, we chose to follow the theme of our logo with a very colorful and vibrant site.I believe this gives us a unique brand identity against all the other web application shops out there. Also I must apologize for the application screenshots, as most of them just have placeholder data as well as placeholder graphs inserted.

Stay tuned, as more updates will be coming in the next few weeks including the opportunity to beta test Exender!

Designing the Product

We are hastily working to get the product (Exender) out the door. We are in the process of working on all of the Exender screens, and deciding what information gives the most value to the user (yes — it’s been nearly 3 months since our initial announcement). The goal is to create an easy to use interface like Basecamp, while differentiating ourself enough that the site sparks some visual interest. This has actually proved to be challenging, since most of us know the guys over at 37signals are usability gurus.

Perhaps some of you could comment on what you would like to see on the dashboard screens, as well as profile screens.

Look for some screenshots of the new Exender home page, as well as the app pages in the next couple weeks! Also in the next few weeks we will be releasing the new look for Coffeenatic, as well as some additional features and a completely re-written backend.
