UserScape.com V2 Complete
If you're in the market for a powerful and user friendly Help Desk solution, please take a look at my company's flagship product HelpSpot.
A few months backed I posted on the initial sketches of the next version of the UserScape.com website. I’m happy to say that the process is now complete and we’re moving forward with HTMLizing the design and should be implementing it in the next few weeks. I’m really happy with the job MIke did as always. I think this is his best work yet. The design is modern and I really like the use of black which plays nicely with the colors. The final designs are below (note that not all text is accurate). Also the top and bottom black bars extend the full width of the screen which is not really shown in these graphics.
The big differences between this and the current site are much clearer calls to action (especially the home page which is right in the banner), a more designed interface with rounded edges, a clearer navigation scheme with primary top navigation and secondary side navigation, and the large homepage screenshot which should help leverage HelpSpots nicer appearance compared to the competition.

Are you planning to put your blog into the design as well? It seems like with the three column layout you would be able to maintain the blog features and promote HelpSpot quite a bit.

Thanks Doug.
I'm not sure Ben. I want people to realize when they come to this blog that it's a different place. I may end up using the basic design though with some different colors. I'm going to play with it a bit.
They'll be a new blog as part of the new site which will be only about HelpSpot and the upcoming version 2 beta. That blog will be in the interior page design.
