In collaboration with UX partner Eagerly, a new design for the panel and community websites has been developed. With the new look and feel, we improve the user experience for members and enhance engagement. The main focus of these improvements is optimal accessibility for mobile devices.
What is changing?
Several changes will be implemented, but the brand identity remains unchanged. This means that the selected colors and fonts will be retained. The following changes will be introduced:
-
Modernized appearance: The panel/community websites will have a contemporary look. For example, the profile page will receive a sleek, updated design.
-
Menu bar: To improve mobile usability, the menu bar will be displayed at the bottom of the page at thumb height. You can choose which items are visible in the menu, with a minimum of two and a maximum of four menu items. On desktops, these menu items will appear in the header, which is the top section of the web page.
-
Footer: The footer is the bar at the bottom of the page that displays elements such as "Contact" and "Privacy Statement." In the new design, the footer will only be shown on the login page. After logging in, it will be hidden on the panel/community website to make space for the new menu bar that appears at the bottom on mobile devices.
-
Information icon: To make room for information such as a disclaimer, privacy statements, and unsubscribe links, a standard information icon will be placed in the header. This allows you to include organizational details and link to more information. This way, pages that were previously in the footer now have a new location.
