Justproud V1.0 beta is live

Yes, today we are live with the new version of JUSTPROUD.

First of all we’d like to thank you for all your input and effort. Our beta-version gave great insights on how we can facilitate our members better. So we are looking forward to your reactions.

In the upcoming days we will improve all imperfect items that we’ll find together; so if you find something, please let us know.

So what did we do?

We enhanced the site; from “only co-creation” into a fashion platform.

This way we will have more interesting items for and by fashion lovers. People can give opinions, share looks as an inspiration for our designers. At the end of the day, the fashion lovers are the ones who will buy the co-created apparel.

Main infrastructure changes:

There has been an activity stream added, so people see what other people do on the site, this will inspire people to cross navigate through the site.

Facebook & MSN messenger connect were also integrated; which makes it easier for people to join, comment and vote.

And we are now fully running on Microsoft Azure.

The site has 4 sections:

Opinions:

Here we (and in a later version you) write a fashion story and ask our members to share their opinions; by doing so the designers (& and other co-creators) will learn more about the insights of the fashion lovers who are their target group for buyingfashion items.

Lookbook:

At our lookbook members from all over the world are able to upload their own clothing style. They have the opportunity to tag the brands they are wearing; so it’s both an inspiration for our co-creators as well as for other members.

Co-creation

We changed the design of this section; current members are advised to check their profile.

Now it’s easier to search for members (yes, we have a full name search) and for projects. On the profiles people can comment and you will be able to reply.

Now a more sensitive item; on the voting part we adjusted the required votes to go to the next stage; the reason will be announced within a few days. You all will be happy.

Shop

Here we will sell our co-created items; we expect it to go live early October. It will be fully integrated with in our site and member base.

Please enjoy the new site; looking forward to meeting you there!
