Website Redesign and Migration
User Experience at Risk
Outdated design, inconsistent content structure, and fragmented systems can severely disrupt user engagement and brand credibility. Managing documentation at scale becomes inefficient without a cohesive and modern platform. The client’s existing documentation site, built on outdated architecture with API documentation hosted on Docusaurus, no longer reflected the company’s evolving digital brand. The fragmented user experience resulted in difficulties in content maintenance and engagement. Since Docusaurus is not ideal for API and product documentation, it requires significant involvement from the development team, making content updates complex and challenging for content writers.
"Every disconnect in documentation is a missed opportunity to engage and support users. We needed a smarter, scalable solution that could evolve with us."
Disconnected by Design: Why Fragmentation Fails the User
Despite using modern tools like Figma and Docusaurus, the client’s documentation platform faced significant inefficiencies. The outdated design, inconsistent content structure, and fragmented systems made it difficult to deliver a seamless user experience, which highlighted the need for a unified, scalable solution.
How This Impacted Efficiency
Time Consumed on Administrative Tasks
Documentation management consumed considerable time due to a lack of integration and outdated architecture, reducing the team’s focus on strategic initiatives.
Content Inconsistencies
The outdated documentation site design and lack of alignment across platforms led to inconsistencies in user-facing content, reducing the reliability and professionalism of the documentation.
Brand Misalignment
The fragmented documentation experience did not align with the client’s evolving digital brand.
Migration Complexity
The transition from Docusaurus to MadCap Flare for 500+ pages was resource-intensive, requiring careful planning and execution to preserve look, feel, and functionality, which strained team resources and extended timelines.
