ICANN will be redesigning their dated web site, ICANN.org
ICANN announced that they are currently redesigning their dated web site and they want your feedback.
“A cross-departmental team within ICANN has been working for months to improve the usefulness and the look of ICANN’s main website, ICANN.ORG. The completely redesigned site is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2012.”
ICANN is actually doing something smart for a change: their Communications Department will host a public webinar about the new design, which will cover the following:
- Findings of research into what most users are trying to do when they visit ICANN.ORG
- Six different types, or “personas,” of users, and what they want
- How the redesign will meet the needs of most users
- The proposed new information architecture for ICANN.ORG.
- A look at wireframes for the proposed new home page and the proposed new mobile view of ICANN.ORG
- Previews of some new features we think users will like
- Your comments, questions, and suggestions: are we heading in the right direction?
To accommodate multiple time zones, the webinar will be given twice in the same day. Information presented will be identical in each session (though of course input from attendees will vary). Scheduled webinar times are:
- 21 November, 2011, 16:00 UTC (3:00 Sydney, 8:00 Marina del Rey, 17:00 Brussels)
- 21 November, 2011, 23:00 UTC (10:00 Sydney, 15:00 Marina del Rey, 24:00 Brussels)
