Dear Shopify UX designers,
Why are there constant, random changes that do nothing to improve workflow, they are simply… changes for the sake of change?
-
The new dashboard makes the most important information (total daily sales figure) so tiny, you have to hunt for it. Why?
-
What was the thinking behind moving the editing windows in the site builder from the right to the left side? It causes so much unnatural movement across the screen. What is the benefit I’m missing?
-
The worst one is under Products. You have to travel across the screen to click on the tiniest little search icon all the way over to the right, instead of the nice big search bar there used to be. Why, why, why?
Forgive my tone, I am a tired, middle-aged designer whose eyesight is not what it used to be. I’ve been in the business for over 30 years. Change is hard, and needs to be a significant improvement to be worth the adjustment pain. Please don’t make changes for the sake of change, I beg you. I know full well I’m shouting into the void, but it needs saying.
Respectfully,
A tired, middle-aged designer with failing eyesight
