A clearer way to manage what matters

Visualping helps people track changes across websites. Its dashboard is where users manage their monitored pages, configure alerts, and review changes. I led the redesign of this core experience, focusing on simplifying navigation, improving everyday workflows, and making monitoring activity easier to understand.

The redesigned Visualping dashboard: sidebar, page list and the selected page's monitoring timeline

The challenge

The dashboard had grown visually busy, with competing navigation elements, scattered actions, and limited space for managing monitored pages. Reviewing changes also meant looking at individual events without a complete picture of monitoring activity. The challenge was to make a feature-rich product feel simpler without taking away the controls users rely on.

Sidebar

Navigation should support the work,
not compete with it

The previous sidebar demanded too much attention while making workspace navigation less straightforward than it needed to be. I wanted navigation to feel like a natural part of the experience, so I focused on simplifying workspace switching, bringing key destinations together, and establishing a quieter visual hierarchy across the sidebar and global header.

Page List

Managing more pages with less effort

For users managing multiple monitored pages, the dashboard needs to make information easy to scan and actions easy to find. I focused on balancing information density with clarity, giving users a better overview of their pages without introducing more complexity.

A clearer path to everyday actions

The old interface spread controls across toolbars and traditional modals, making routine tasks feel disconnected. I brought these interactions into a more consistent system, with clearer controls and contextual panels for editing, filtering, and bulk actions. This gives users a predictable way to manage their pages while keeping the dashboard in view.

More information without more noise

The page list needed to support users managing many monitors without becoming difficult to scan. I prioritized the information that helps people recognize and understand each page, while reducing unnecessary visual weight. The result is a more compact list with clearer page identities, labels, and statuses, making it easier to find what matters.

Monitoring Timeline

From individual changes to a complete history

Monitoring isn’t just about knowing when something changes. Users also need to understand what happened between those changes and whether their monitors are working as expected. I moved away from a changes-only view toward a unified timeline that brings checks, changes, and errors together, giving users a more complete picture of each monitored page.

Making monitoring activity easier to follow

A list of events can tell users what happened, but it doesn’t always help them understand the sequence. I chose a timeline approach to connect monitoring activity into a continuous history. Changes, checks, and errors now share a consistent structure, helping users follow what happened to a page over time.

Appearance & Personalization

One dashboard, different ways to make it yours

The redesign supports light and dark modes, alongside a customizable appearance that lets users add a personal touch. Each mode maintains the same navigation, interactions, and information hierarchy, keeping the experience familiar regardless of how users choose to view it.

Bringing It All Together

One clearer experience

The redesign wasn’t about simplifying individual screens in isolation. I wanted the dashboard to feel like one connected experience, where navigation, page management, and monitoring history work together. By establishing clearer priorities and more consistent interaction patterns, the redesign makes complex monitoring functionality easier to navigate and understand.

What I took from it

  • 01Clarity comes from prioritization. Making a complex product easier to use starts with deciding what deserves attention, not simply removing information.
  • 02Consistency goes beyond visual design. Shared interaction patterns help users move between different tasks without having to relearn how the product works.
  • 03Context makes information useful. Bringing monitoring events together helps users understand the bigger picture instead of interpreting isolated changes.
