what is Craigslist?
Craigslist is one of the most popular websites in the world. It is a free online website that allows anyone to view and post classified advertisements
Why redesign Craigslist?
Craigslist has very simplistic functions and has a text-based layout. This may sound ideal, but it is not user friendly when navigating around the website, wanting to compare advertisement posts, and the account functions are limited and difficult to use
Assumptions
In this design, I used the same resource materials like data, links and sections on their site and came up with Flat + Grid layout which places each component neatly.
Rather than having something like 1,000 links on the first page, I chose to hide the majority of the sub categories and display the main ones. I made Icons that reflected each category to create a clean interface, where people can use the icons to help them see what craigslist has to offer, as well as seeing what the site is all about and hopefully feeling a deeper feeling of community with the site.
