Here are some ideas/drafts we have been working on:
One major change in the homepage is focusing on discovery. The goal is to improve projects and contributions discovery by making it clearer for the user and at the same time giving more visibility to more projects and more contributions.
Since the projects will be the base of Utopian, we also needed a clear and easy way to display the project and all the related information like task requests, images, contributions, etc...)
The solution would organize all the basic information first and then, on the tabs below the gallery, we have the different types of information, such as contributions, updates, tasks requests etc...
The project creation is an important part of Utopian, for that reason, having an easy way to create projects and add rich content to them would help onboarding new users trying to use Utopian and, at the same time, help with growth. So the solution is to simplify the process with only 2/3 steps with a very visual wizard.
Rethinking the search results page allowed us to create a simpler and easier way for users to search and filters for specific projects and contributions.
The user profile we decided to maintain the same structure and the just reorganize the contributions and projects area to make it more user-friendly.
Thanks for your attention! Stay tuned because we have something really nice to show you in a couples days ;)
