Picking the Right App—Right Away Salesforce.com AppExchange Website Redesign
Salesforce.com has revolutionized the way businesses manage their customers—by keeping everything in the cloud. They created the AppExchange as a marketplace for developers and Salesforce employees to distribute applications designed on the Force.com platform. Hot Studio was enlisted to redesign AppExchange.
An easy way to navigate among tons of content
AppExchange was a victim of its own success. It got too big, too fast—with hundreds upon hundreds of apps made available—and the site’s architecture couldn’t handle the load. As a consequence, the site became difficult to navigate.
Hot saw a way for users to optimize the growing mass of applications. If the apps could be easily searched, sorted, rated, and compared, people could consistently and confidently find the best apps for their needs. We leveraged everything from personas, ethnography, and user research to content and product strategy to design a seamless experience.
Designing a complete marketplace
With the new site, Salesforce has become a complete marketplace for cloud computing. Users can quickly and intelligently navigate the ever-growing number of applications, and get the tools they need to complement Salesforce’s capabilities.
