Mobile SourceForge.netSince 1999, SourceForge.net has always been a fixed-weight website for desktop computers. A new mobile SourceForge experience became my main goal on the project. Using principles of responsive design, our team built a mobile extension of the famous open source repository.

Subscription & SignupA new feature ‘manage subscription’ was introduced to improve user signup flow. Now users get a better control over SourceForge.com news and messages from their preferences page. The flow itself had been simplified, and new visual and interaction design transformed user experience into more enjoyable journey.

Email TemplatesEmail templates were modified and updated to improve appearance and user experience. By creating a persona, we illustrated the user flow more efficiently. By extending the user experience with a reminder to review downloaded projects, we helped projects gather more user reviews. Close collaboration with developers made the implementation accurate and pixel-perfect.

Agile EnvironmentAn agile environment enabled our team to implement numerous UX improvements. Among them are updates of templates of the most visited pages, which, after A/B and multivariate testing, helped us increase page views. My team successfully introduced several new widgets, including banners for the AdBlock plugin, and several widgets for SEO improvement.

On the Pursuit of ConsistencyConsistency in design is a must-have. It helps users to distinguish native content from ads. To satisfy this requirement, I've documented UI/UX patterns across the web service in the Design System and implementation backlog.
