    Redesigned welcome page and navigation

    After the busy christmas season which brought many big updates for the comusico.com, the last two weeks have been rather calm. But this will change with today, as we just have pushed multiple smaller and bigger updates to our servers.

    The most visible change will be the new welcome page. We adjusted the design and focused on musicians. The why will be explained by Lisa in the near future in another update. But the current project phase will put an emphasize on musicians. So we want to get as many musicians as possible on the platform.

    The other big change is the updated navigation. It is a bit bigger but lighter as well. Moreover, we have moved the user specific navigation to the very top of the page; a design choice which you can find on many large websites. This way we hope to make the site more accessible for all users.

    As with every update, we are happy for any kind of feedback by you. So please feel free to comment or post on forums.

    Redesign of public pages

    We just had the first snow in Cologne (Germany). And with the first snow flakes, we have finally pushed our most recent redesign onto our servers - just in time for the intense pre-christmas season. If you are expecting tons of new and polished features, we have to disappoint you. But stay tuned, there is a lot in the pipeline for the remaining weeks till 2011. This update is about some important changes to the general page layout and its improvements to usability.

    New navigation
    The most obvious change happened to the global navigation. The main reason for this change was to further separate the global page elements from the actual profile. So when you or someone else is visiting a musician profile, the main focus should stay on the profile itself. For this purpose we have shrunk the navigation, moved it farther away from the page contents and changed the color scheme to a less obtrusive selection of colors.

    Profile specific navigation
    To further improve profiles on COMUSICO, we introduced profile specific navigations. These navigations should make it easier to find the data one is looking for. And the highlighted contact button should increase interaction between profile owners and visitors / potential partners.

    New contact page
    The contact page for musicians, ensembles and users was extended by a new contact form. It allows all users, no matter if they are members or guests, to send the profile owner a short message. This should facilitate the communication between the various interest groups and lower the barrier for first contact (Here we need feedback the most, as we want to improve this feature).

    As always, we would love to hear from you. We hope to answer our customers wishes, but would love to get some feedback regarding questions, ideas and criticism. Feel free to post a comment, send us a message, or get in contact via skype or phone.
