STRUCTURING & SKETCHING
STRUCTURING & SKETCHING
Examining all the types of resources & making a structure for its repository
Before jumping to a solution, we examined the entire list of items and documented all the classifications in an exel sheet to understand the structure that needs to be accommodated in the new developer hub platform.

SOLUTIONING
SOLUTIONING
Examining the resource repository & understanding its structure
The ‘Top Navigation’, from being a previously disjointed experience with different headers for each product/ website to expanding as a unified experience employing an adaptive trait. This solution primarily focused on two aspects:
01
🔌 Central Navigation
The parent or the central variant; highlights search functionality for resource discovery on the landing page or home screen of the resource hub.
02
🚀 Page-specific navigation
The left side was dedicated to navigation with breadcrumbs serving as an expanded menu, while the right side facilitated account-related actions. The header scaled to multiple variants, including light mode/dark mode and responsiveness to viewport sizes. A suite of UI controls was developed, allowing for flexibility tailored to specific page needs and easily mapped back to the variants, making the life of a developers easy.

By considering each page's specific needs and goals, we designed a comprehensive set of interactions that provide flexibility and efficiency in navigating and utilizing the platform.
