UI/UX - Visual Design Overhaul Needed
Can you please make the UI/UX more intuitive, things are so text heavy and buttons are so small. The UI was not made for visual people, it is closer to an excel spreadsheet than a User Interface.
You have great features in theory but the function and form is really lacking. Things need to be simplified and have better visual hierarchy. Everything is at the same level of hierarchy and things are nested causing multiple clicks and long journeys.
Wrike feels like it was designed by developers for developers or engineers. If you invested in ways to improve the visual interface - I think you would see a lot more adoption.
Hi Mark,
are you aware that Wrike had just launched a complete new design, called Wrike lightspeed, a few months ago?
So I wonder if you are talking of the old new design.
Wrike lightspeed is way more graphic orientated than the prior design, many functions where hidden to get a more "clean" appearance. Btw I miss some of them. Wrike lightspeed brought many great improvements, but not everything was like I'd prefer.
There was a lot of controversary discussion about that, for example here: Lightspeed and new interfaces in general – Wrike Help Center
I believe I am using Lightspeed after reading the example you posted. The UI/UX is muddy and unclear, the hierarchy overall of visual elements is unclear on so many pages. I don't think clean is really measurable and it's also subjective. I hope you guys will do user testing with everyone from creatives to engineers because you have potential with features but the visual aspect makes it so cumbersome and the user flows are unintuitive. Do some slow roll outs instead of big overhauls. Buttons need to be more clearly defined, user journey's need to be streamlined with less clicks, visual hierarchy needs to be clearly established to avoid everything being the same level of priority like it is now.
