Description:
A user's account is structured in an attempt to give the user access to various parts simultaneously. As you log in to your account you are presented with a command-center like interface that gives you access to your categories, items, mail and contacts on the same screen. The user’s view is consistent and the administration of an account remains seamless: the design, the editing, the posting, etc… all is integrated into the same view of the account. There are not two different designs, not one for viewing and then one for administrating; they both exist within the same frame.
The structure of a user's account is as such:
- Top Navigation entails possible logo, name of account and top level categories
- Left side entails subcategories when they are called, Profile if it is set, contacts and new items on Christonium.
- Center entails home page introduction and possible image, as well as the latest 3 items.
- Right side is only visible when you are on your own account and we call this side the admin side. It entails the area for creating, editing and deleting categories and items, and below that the mail center is located.
Differences:
Most applications provide two different interfaces, one for viewing and one for managing. This "command-center"-approach is fundamentally different from most systems, in that it actually shows an accounts various parts simultaneously - not simply a link to mail, design, etc... It does demand that the user gets a feel for the system since you control each part where it is located.
Feedback:
Please give your thoughts on how this structure works for you as well as possible changes and improvements.
