So I shoulda just wrote it here:
In 2013 we started redesigning Qualcomm.com from the ground up. A 2,000 page, responsive web-application based site. 30+ stakeholders, 40+ team members, collaboration between 4 offices across the states.
I was the Design Director, over-seeing design, ux, strategy, and copy tone.
Its the biggest project I have ever done, it came out pretty good... we kinda ran out of money towards the end so it missed a couple key things, not happy with the home page. it ended up being a weird mix of navigation approaches, it was the11th hour and Qualcomm's CEO weighed in...
Unfortunately I moved on from the agency I worked at and the sites future is no longer in my hands. BUT theres a ton of solid ground work created and the launch was a massive success :)
Heres some notable links:
News: combined all of Qualcomms news outlets into one
https://www.qualcomm.com/newsStories: some nicely design pages with stories of QCs technology in the real world.
https://www.qualcomm.com/inventi…
https://www.qualcomm.com/inventi…product pages: this was the biggie. project pages before this were 3 paragraphs of tech mumbo jumbo at best, I pushed extremely hard to have a pages explain the tech in an easy to digest layout and tone.
https://www.qualcomm.com/product…
https://www.qualcomm.com/product…
https://www.qualcomm.com/product…Theres cool navigation elements through out, like breadcrumbs, etc
Thats it. Its won couple awards here and there for design and ux. Hope you like.
And to address the left nav. we had that design way before wacom, vw, sprint, etc.
It was heavily influenced by iPad apps. that was the whole point of it. if you use the sit on a tablet all the navigation buttons are in places your thumbs would be... that was my hope anyway and why I wanted the side nav.
Now that all those site have it, Im over it. lol
- nice - like the stories sectionfadein11
- Stories was my personal favorite, I created the first 4, after that my replacement took over, so they have a different tone now... looks like they switched...sofakingback
