It’s relaunch-time!

It’s time for drumrolls, champagne and confetti – the jovoto-relaunch is finally here! It’s all over town and it’s true – the past couple of weeks we’ve been working feverishly not only to re-design the landing page and the blog, but also to create some whole new pages with new content.
Today’s the big day, we are excited to present the results to our community, our clients and everybody out there who will now find many more info on the landing page. But let’s get one thing straight before giving you a proper overview on the improvements:

Some things never change! The jovoto principles didn’t change a bit, it’s still all about ideas, fair rewards, secured copyrights and the community’s vote. We’ve just pimped the wrapping so everybody can enjoy even more…

And here are the ch-ch-ch-ch-changes:

1. New landing page with a new design!

Our new and improved landing page showcases not only open and closed contests and the latest blogpost. It also gives some insights of what’s happening on the plattform and gives our community-members more visibility.
We also feature some of the best ideas from completed contests with author name and titel in a special box. This way visitors can get a glimpse of the creative potential and community-members are honoured for their talent and get much more attention for their work.
To stay updated on any jovoto business, people can furthermore sign up to our social net channels and read the latest blog post. And in case anyone’s  curious about more background information? No problem, just check out the next innovation:

2. Entirely new pages!

Find everything you always wanted to know about jovoto and the idea behind it in the categories “About”, “Clients” and “Creatives”.

We thought it’d make sense to split up all the information we provide in three categories, so nobody needs to click through all the info and get lost in info-jungle…

• For general information on jovoto, our vision, the team, partners etc. you click on “About” and find everything you always wanted to know about us.
• Creatives find information about the process, the benefits, and the system in the category -you guessed it- “Creatives“. Interested creatives learn everything about how they can profit from participating in contests and how the workflow is. Community members can refresh their knowledge about guidelines and the voting system and find help in the FAQs.
• Respectively, (potential) clients find the information they seek (e.g. prizing and contest models) in the category “Clients“.

This way, visitors und users find compatible information easily and quickly. The new design helps to support the clear and ordered structure. And yes, we also hope that it pleases your critical eyes and enertains thanks to the catchy illustrations.

The same reasoning of harmony in form and function applies to the

3. New Blog!

Altough we didn’t particularly dislike our old blog, a new form and some more, er, coolness seemed appropriate nevertheless. And I think we clearly hit the bull’s eye. The new blog comes along
in a fresh and informative magazine style and is showcasing the recent and most informative posts in a much more apprehensible way.

The magazine format allows for more information being presented whilst not overloading the display. We split with a purely chronological order of posts and turned to a more content-based presentation. Oh dear, we do like the new blog! We honoured it with some brandnew categories to give it the credits it deserves. Well, yeah, and because the focus on content makes good categories even more important…

We give extra attention to the posts we think are most important or most thrilling: they are presented in category boxes and will be changed when even more important or thrilling category news come up. This way, bloggers find the information they are looking for more easily. And the best: they will find plentiful information. A mix of platform news, tips and reviews on design, communication & social media is ready for you.

Well, that’s that. No more to say, everything new is briefly outlined and for the moment there’s nothing more to do for us than keeping our fingers crossed. We hope that you appreciate the new design, the new pages and the new blog. Have a thorough look at everything, read through the texts and enjoy the illustrations. At the end of your meditation: please let us know what you think!
