A Game of Cards

Three weeks ago, Netlify released a new user interface for its Deploys screen, featuring improved design components and a structure that aims to deliver a clean and obvious interface for users. The redesign was necessary due to the high traffic on the deploys page, which had been struggling with outdated UI elements. A key element of the new design is the "Card" layout, which splits the responsibility hierarchy and layout into separate entities, providing a better user experience. The cards feature a chronological list format, with horizontal aspects to display associated information and actions, such as deploy type, commit hash, and action buttons. The design team iterated on multiple prototypes before landing on a simpler card layout, eliminating labels to fit all content without compromise, and changing the color and icon according to the type of deploy and branch. The update is part of Netlify's ongoing efforts to build and maintain a User Interface that delivers a top-rated user experience.
