Wrike Graphite is full of many pleasant surprises, but probably the first thing you will notice is the exciting new design. Today, we invite you to get an inside look at our design studio. To us, design has always been so much more than just a pretty shell. That’s why Wrike Graphite was built on three principles: simplicity, clarity and visibility. Whether you are a designer or not, this post has some interesting insights to check out.
Our goal was to find a wise balance between your needs and habits. That’s why we reduced the density of graphic elements and gradients to accentuate the prima of your workspace – your content. The new contrast palette and the increased amount of whitespace makes it easier for you to focus on the information you are currently working on.
First things first
Analyzing your feedback and reviewing statistics helped us to better understand which features you use more often and which you use occasionally. As a result, we prioritized the features in the icon menu so that their order would better fit your work habits. This way, your favorite Task list and Activity Stream come first, the newly added Timelog icon goes right after them, and the tools for the more advanced project management like Workload and Timeline are placed at the end of the navigation menu.
Visual and visible
In Wrike Graphite we enhanced visibility and visual representation of every detail, as we believe that it’s the details that make the user experience special.
One of these important details is the redesigned folder’s overview. We believe that infographic is, perhaps, the best and easiest way to perceive numbers. That’s why, in Wrike Graphite folder’s details and stats are presented in a neat chart form.
This is just a very small glimpse of Wrike’s new design. Dive in, check for yourself and don’t forget to share your comments! We are eager to know your thoughts!
Wrike Team
Occasionally we write blog posts where multiple people contribute. Since our idea of having a gladiator arena where contributors would fight to the death to win total authorship wasn’t approved by HR, this was the compromise.
Wrike’s project management software works in any popular web browser, be it Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome or Safari. But just as the engine from a Fiat can slow down a Ferrari, the older versions of these browsers rob Wrike of its natural power. That’s why, in case you prefer Internet Explorer, we recommend you use IE version 9 or higher. And the same goes for the other browsers – the newer, the better! You’ll notice how much faster Wrike and your other favorite online apps become and how much more enjoyable it is to work with them.
Some of our customers find Google Chrome the most comfortable option for using Wrike. “I knew from prior communications with the Customer Care team that Wrike performed well in Google Chrome, but I simply had no idea how much faster it is. I never thought to try a different browser. Now I know it makes a huge difference,” says Tom Day from CBIA, a long-standing Wrike customer. In case you don’t want to permanently switch to Google Chrome, but still want use some of its benefits, try out its plug-in for Internet Explorer.
So update your browser to the latest version and don’t deny yourself Wrike’s full productivity power!
