Challenge Description:
Newman 3.0 will allow us to easily manage different types of TV alerts and versions of the swap check application. For TV alerts, we will be able to schedule them as needed and by whatever schedule markets are comfortable sending. This can be something that is one off or could be recurring from hourly to weekly.
For the Swap check application multiple teams want to use this to get rid of old equipment out of the customers homes. Things change quite often in the Comcast world, that we end up having to change the language all the time. Today, the applications hard coded and it takes about 4-6 weeks to deploy. With Newman 3.0 we should be able to update things in the Cloud and deploy as soon as we create them in Newman.
We are looking for the [topcoder] design Community to help us with planning our new "user experience" (UX).
Design Goals:
- How should this should be designed?
- How quickly the user can find what he wants? What should the priority features be?
- How quickly can the user understand and interact with the app?
- The application should be easy to use.
- Think simple but effective solutions! Have fun creating this - let us know how you think it should work!
Screen Sizes:
- Desktop Resolution: 1280px width and height as required.
Make sure you create graphic in 'shape' format, so when we resize graphics will still look sharp!
Branding Guidelines:
- This is an internal website and the client doesn't have any branding guidelines, so the colors are open to YOUR choice.
- We will provide the Newman logo later on.
Supporting Documents:
- Wireframes (wireframe.zip).
