Improving Our Demos

[Michelle D'Souza]

Hey everyone,

Joanna has been considering ways that we can make our demos clearer for our users. She has been designing an overlay that would provide information about the demo. This will help to reduce the confusion when someone lands on an in context demo, such as the Exploration Tool, and aren't sure how they should interact with it. http://build.fluidproject.org/prefsEditors/demos/explorationTool/ 

As she was going through the design process, it became clear that the current demo portal in Infusion is a source of confusion. Joanna's redesign of the build site page provides direct links to the demos instead of showcasing only a small slice of the demo in an iframe. We think it would be better to get rid of the demo portal all together, and instead use the redesigned 'project' pages to showcase our demos.

You can see her preliminary designs here:

This might be a nice, small change to make prior to the 1.5 Infusion release.

Thoughts?
