The Solution
A Modern, Intuitive Redesign
The solution focused on decluttering dense layouts, streamlining navigation, and introducing a clear visual hierarchy. We simplified complex interactions and improved accessibility to make the site feel lighter, faster, and more intuitive to use.
The Problem
An Outdated Interface
AcademicJobsOnline.org’s outdated interface made navigation confusing, visually unappealing, and difficult to use. The challenge was to redesign the front end to meet modern usability standards while maintaining the platform’s speed and robust features.
