Problem

Currently, craigslist's website is a disaster. Yet, people still use it because it's resourceful. Here's a list of things we found particularly terrible through both user research and personal experience:

The home page has too many options. 


Is there a logo? 


What are the abbreviated letters at the top? 


An overwhelming amount of information. 


Why is there a calendar? 


What does 'gig' mean? 


Some content is left aligned while others are center aligned. 

It was clear that a sense of information hierarchy needed to be established on this website.

 

 

Aesthetically, there needs to be a clear brand statement with a logo, color palette, and set typography.

 

 

Navigation, A clear form of navigation through layout and reduced content also needs to be created.
