Spot.us redesign is going to rock your world
It’s been a year since we launched v 2.0 of Spot.us. Now, a year, later, here I am working with David Cohn and Erik Sundelof on a whole new and improved design. And it’s going blow your mind (but maybe I’m a little biased).
As time has gone on with Spot.us and new features have been added, the pages have become a bit cluttered. We’re redoing the header, pitch page, and browse pages with the goals of:
- Condensing redundant views
- Simplifying content display
- Creating more consistency
For example, take a look at the current pitch page vs. the soon-to-be pitch page:
Also, see the detailed view below of the old vs. new community page, which will now be integrated into the browse pages:
David released the mockups to the public yesterday for you to provide us feedback. See the whole set on Flickr and leave feedback there.

Nice improvements! I think I like the larger progress bar on the pitch page, although do you think it will lead to greater engagement? I wonder if Kickstarter has done any writing on this subject…
Thanks, Daniel.
Maybe David and I can do our own write-up post launch about whether the progress bar improves engagement levels. We’re hoping that the huge progress bar followed by two huge, obvious action buttons will do just that.
Awesome work Lauren, they look great! Like Daniel I think I’m a fan of the larger progress bar.
One question, what happens with the tabs above it? Will those bring a whole new segment of content or will the progress bar and funding information remain persistent across all tabs?
The tabs above it pertain to the entire content area, so selecting a tab will change both the content on the left and the content on the right BENEATH the progress bar and action items. So, yes, that progress bar will always be there no matter where you are within that particular pitch.
