Exciting News: Zazengo 2.0 Launched!

I’m proud to say that we have released Zazengo 2.0.

It was a huge endeavor. We’ve been working around the clock to make this happen, but we are more than excited with the results. We have given the site a complete new redesign, coupled with improved functionality.

What can I show you? Well the list is long, and we will soon be adding videos that will walk you through each site feature, but for now here are the big changes:

• An overall site redesign.
• A highly customizable personal dashboard.
• A flash visualization of your Impact.

A Stylin’ New Look

Michael Kroll, our amazing designer, has been working hard on giving Zazengo a new look. It’s reminiscent of the old design, but overall is cleaner, hip, and of course – has better usability.

Here are a couple of my favorite pages:

Dashboard – Your Zazengo World at a Glance

Instead of trying to be a “one-size-fits-all” type site, we decided to let our users customize their Zazengo experience – particularly their Dashboard area.

After logging into Zazengo, you will land on your dashboard. This dashboard is completely customizable. You can add and / or remove widgets. You can also move them around to best fit your need.

The Dashboard area has been designed to keep you informed on the latest happenings. Think of it as a window into the rest of the site. Stay current on messages, invitations, site updates, projects, newsfeeds and more!

Visualize your impact

The final big piece of the 2.0 puzzle is our Flash impact visualizer:

We’ve worked closely with Teknision, a Flash development house based out of my hometown, Ottawa, Canada. They’ve put together an incredibly engaging way to visualize your impact, viewing other people’s impact, comparing your impact to others, and see how your impact rolls up to the greater good.

Here are a couple different views to demonstrate what we have created. You can click the image to be taken to that page.

We hope that you enjoy our changes and please let us know what you think. This is your product and we are here to listen.

Have fun and let’s make an impact!
