AliasDesign Community Website
Client
Autodesk, Inc. is the world leader in 2D and 3D design software for the manufacturing, building and construction, and media and entertainment markets.
Challenge
Bring together talented Alias Studio users to share ideas with each other and the company.
With an international user base, Autodesk wanted to create a new common space where its staff and clientele could share common ideas and form an online community. With a multitude of different types of content, Autodesk would need a CMS, file repository, blog manager, and of course, scalable membership management.
Solution
An improved user interface, site map, and a cleaner design.
Using a strong visual as a basis, SolutionSet laid out the homepage with information priority in mind. What, who, how, where. Yet, the space is well distributed and condensed properly. Navigation extracted from visual elements, and slightly divided in order to limit the number of unnecessary clicks.
Results
A customized portal designed and developed by SolutionSet.
After determining the Autodesk´s content and community objectives, SolutionSet set out to define, design, develop and ultimately deploy in record time. Our overall approach enabled the client to concentrate on its content: blogs, articles, tips, tutorials, downloads, links, events. Newsletter & RSS feed have also been implemented. All these services within a community framework where members can create groups, send each other messages, comment on content, submit content, and create their own portfolio. It is no coincidence that Autodesk has chosen SolutionSet to develop its seventh community portal, AliasDesign.
