The boss fired the designer a while back, so I'm the only one working on the UI, from design to implementation. Been working on the next gen stuff for a while. I've come up with a lot of new ideas, and made drustic changes - not only the lok and feel but also the way how users interact with our product. I'm quite happy with the way it's going, it's way better than the current design. Current one is plagued with design flaws - not my fault, and I didn't design it, actually I pointed out the flaws but the PM and manager didn't listen... Now, they just leave me alone to do my work. The current statistics presentation is horrible, everything is listed on the page, in a loooong list. How the hack the previous designer came up with this crap?!
In the new design, the differnt sections are broken down to tabs. We track the statistics by HTTP response codes, instead of listing all the numbers for each code. I made summary for each type of code, i.e all the 1xx codes going into a row - kinda like summary or subtotal. And if user click on it, it will expand to show the details - individual statistics for each code. Not only the numbers are there, but they are nicely shown in a bar chart as well - for the subtotals. For subtotal/summary, when expended, there're bar charts as well. The page is alot more readable and clean now.
