Redesigning Wikipedia was a major undertaking requiring deep digging into its history and gathering data about its users. The site is a complex beast with multiple localized elements and nuanced workflows. While the design team was eager to improve it, the website still had plenty of room for improvement. The end result was a redesign that suited both logged in and logged out users. As a result, it is one of the best examples of a well thought-out and effective website design.
As the name suggests, web design is the process of putting together websites to display on the internet. While it typically refers to user experience aspects, web design is also closely related to graphic design, multimedia arts, and the user experience. The popularity of the web has made it a part of daily life and is no longer limited to desktop browsers. Since the mid-2000s, web design has also become an important consideration for mobile and tablet browsers.
Wikipedia has been in business for over ten years and has not had a major redesign in that time. The reason for the redesign was to explore the potential of better web design and user interface. It wanted to develop a clean layout and a more interactive user interface. The new site, called “Wikipedia”, was a huge success. The team is currently working on new designs for the site and hopes to launch a website in 2018.
