One of the best things about the original GG Deals design process was its final stage – the live testing. We got so much useful feedback from our guests, we spent days cataloguing and analyzing it. From the effects of this analysis, and the work that followed, comes our next child. Behold! The NEW GG Deals!

Ok, excitement aside for a moment. We took the knowledge we gathered from the tests and armed withit, redesigned GG Deals pretty much completely, barring maybe the basic palette. The process through, available functions and features, were rebuilt from scratch.

Complete overhaul based on live test feedback and thorough analysis resulted in a service that users wanted and yearned for from the beginning, and that will keep on evolving, basing this evolution on the same process, to achieve perfection.

The defining thing about the new GG Deals is the implementation of all of the above solutions, but also the simplification of UI elements positioning. The older design was, so to speak, a little clunky, with particular elements not always placed where expected, causing confusion in users. This issue has been fixed, with a much more natural and intuitive placement of all the cool things there. Here, see for yourself.

Oh yeah! Now, any deal that is better than ever before will be highlighted with a green “Historical” label. Don’t want to overpay? Hunt for them green prices! On GG Deals, Green is always good!

Ok, so you see the title you like. Now what? We’ve made it as smooth and simple as it can be. Just click the game, and choose one of the three actions you see below – create an alert, add it to your wishlist, or marked is as owned.

Want to see if the game you’re interested in on Steam or GOG (or any other platform we will add later?) Easy – there is an easily accessible button now, placed conveniently on the game cover.

You can easily synchronize your accounts on Steam, GOG, Humble Bundle and soon – Origin. All you have to do is connect them to your GG account by simply clicking the Connect button. Then, just click Sync Wishlist/Collection and voila, all your gaming service account know what’s going on on the other ones.

In previous design, the filters, while definitely useful, were different from each other, and placed in different places. Now, they have been unified in design and placement, so there is no more chance for getting lost. The style of filters has been unified with the entire site to the smallest details, like paging even, so that the everything feels to be as it should, where it should.

No longer will anything go unnoticed. We have designed all the notifications, status messages and success and error toasts so that they’re not a nuisance in your deals hunting, but are always there when you need them to give you a hint or an important piece of information.

All those cool things we listed, that make using GG Deals so smooth, are of course also available in mobile. It has been designed with the same ideas of fluidity and intuitive placing in mind, so you can be sure that hunting for most awesome deals is now as easy on your mobile as it is on your battlestation.

No project is ever truly finished they say. But with GG Deals, we had the pleasure of experiencing the great process of growth of something good, through something cool, into something awesome.

The initial design, created after hours of brainstorming and hard work. The user testing, which gave us oh so many things to think about. And the new version, incorporating all of our sweat and blood mixed with what the users told us, is as close to ideal vision as we could get. For now.

Good hunting!
