With the help of a hotshot designer and information architect from New Zealand, Dipity got a makeover today.

Petra Quilitz of Quilitz&Quilitz Ltd really got into what Dipity stands for and submitted a very comprehensive set of ideas for us.  We were absolutely floored with her understanding of our problem space and her ability to execute on that understanding.  We haven’t implemented everything that she suggested (yet) but made some important strides today.  Awesome work, Petra!

With this redesign, Dipity takes a step forward in the timeliness of its look and feel, gets bolder and sharper, and first and foremost showcases your content.  We’ve decided to forego the “sunny day in the park” thing we had going on, and instead let your content do the talking over a neutral background.  Giving you the ability to choose a theme for your timeline is on our shortlist of to-dos, so if you really liked that fair weather theme you will be able to get back there soon.

There are some under-the-covers things that went out today that should make things feel zippy, and be easier on your computer’s processor and memory.  We also started using Amazon’s CloudFront content delivery network last week, and that’s proving to bring a measurable improvement to page load times.

Most of this is in preparation for some more very exciting stuff we’re going to be rolling out in the next week or two.  I can’t say much yet, but our focus is going to be on offering our incredible platform to whomever wants to use it, however they want to use it.

These are awesome times to be a Dipster!
