Design System from scratch

The context

Agorapulse is a Social Media Management platform used by 35,000+ professionals across 11,000+ businesses in 180+ countries.
Publishing, inbox, reporting, monitoring, all in one tool.

Before I arrived, the web + mobile app had been only built by engineers. It did the job, but it was seriously lacking UX effectiveness across all features, a unified experience between them, and a clean, modern UI.

I was tasked to revamp everything. Rethink every feature in terms of UX, push a new UI, establish a unified experience across all features, build the design system, and rebrand the entire company.

A closer look: the Publishing Composer

The Composer was the most used and most criticized feature. Users had to create their post in a cramped modal, then jump to a separate screen to schedule it. No preview of what the post would actually look like. Two steps for one action.

Publishins-revamp-first-screen

Create, preview and schedule in one screen

Merged a 2-step flow into one. Users no longer lose context between composing and scheduling.

Posts preview finally look like real Social Media posts

No more guessing. Built pixel-accurate previews for each social network. 

Publishing-revamp-after-3

Schedule smarter and faster

Same date for all posts, or customized dates and times for each social profile. One action instead of repeating it for every account.

Publishing-revamp-4-ok

Minimize the Composer

Users finally can multitask ; Start to write a post, then check the calendar or inbox, and come back. No lost work, no blocked workflow.
