Redesign of Support Portal and Knowledge Base

Overview

Priority Software underwent a comprehensive rebranding process, introducing a new logo, fonts, and color palette. This rebranding required a redesign of the company’s customer-facing websites and portals to align with the new branding guidelines. I led the redesign of the company’s customer support portal and knowledge base, “Priority Xpert,” to reflect the new brand identity and to enhance the overall user experience.

The Goal

The primary objective of the project was to enhance both the aesthetics and the user experience of the portal. This involved not only updating the UI to align with the new branding but also making the site more user-friendly and efficient. The goal was to improve usability and functionality, enabling users to easily access information, review documentation, and engage with the support organization.

The Challenge

At the outset, we identified several key challenges:
  • The existing site was cluttered, unclear, and not user-friendly.
  • Users had difficulties locating relevant information and seeking assistance, leading to frustration and decreased site engagement.
  • The cluttered layout and lack of intuitive navigation hindered users’ ability to seamlessly access information.

The Original Design

The original design of the support portal and knowledge base posed significant challenges to users and the company alike. The cluttered layout and lack of intuitive navigation hindered users’ ability to access information seamlessly.

User Experience Enhancements

1. Improved Navigation: We restructured the navigation to be more intuitive, making it easier for users to find the information they needed quickly. This involved creating clear categories and a logical flow that users could easily follow.

2. Search Functionality: Enhanced the search functionality to provide more accurate and relevant results. This was crucial for users seeking specific information quickly.

3. User Feedback Integration: Collected and integrated user feedback throughout the redesign process. This ensured that the changes were aligned with actual user needs and preferences.

4. Dedicated User Sections: Introduced dedicated sections for different user groups, such as partners and advanced users, housing valuable resources and files tailored to their needs. This personalization improved the relevance of the content presented to each user group.
We introduced a dedicated section for select users, housing valuable resources and files. The interface was designed to be intuitive, presenting information in a clear and structured manner.

Key Takeaways

The rebranding and redesign of the Priority Xpert portal have successfully transformed it into a user-friendly and efficient support hub. By focusing on significant UX improvements alongside the natural UI updates due to rebranding, we have created a platform that meets users’ needs and aligns with the new branding of Priority Software. The positive feedback and increased engagement are testaments to the success of the project.
