Project Explanation

Creating and editing news requires more than just inserting content on the site. It requires a clear study of the actuality, information sources verification and rapid delivery of the articles. In this project, we designed an efficient backoffice that provides better usability to journalists, helping them to do their work faster and easier without compromising the quality of the published news.

Highlights

WE’RE TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Platform Structure

We redesigned the way users navigate this interface to make it more intuitive and contextual to their needs.

Functional & Branded

Designed sits on top of the Outsystem's SILK UI silkui.outsystems.com framework which allows for quick creation and testing of functional solutions, taking advantage of predefined UX good practices while being able to design with brand in mind.

Smooth Deployment

Our Front-End developers work hard to make it possible to implement the newly designed experience without interfering with current ongoing work by the users. And like 3,2,1... users can get their new interface without ever having to stop their work.

Live Style Guide

When you develop your application, you should predict the scale of the product and this implies constant improvements and release of new features. Creating a live style guide will help the fast development as well as preview this components directly on the browser.

APPROACH

When designing products as complex and extensive as Público's Backoffice some times we have to go oldschool at the start. Using techniques like mind mapping, paper sketching and quick iterations with the client we try to be wrong fast to be right quicker. From this we start creating the required pages using Outsystem's SILK UI framework to help speed up implementation while ensuring the usage of UX and UI good practices.

Research & Wireframe

We start off by wireframing the main screens for the flow of the app. This phase is specially important to validate the main functionalities on the screen rather than looking at graphic visuals that might only serve as distraction.
