Hos AhaSlides er vores mål at gøre præsentationer sjovere, mere engagerende og mere givende for dig og dit publikum. I dag tager vi et kæmpe skridt mod det med vores helt nyt design!
Den nye AhaSlides er ny in so many ways. We’ve made things more organised, more flexible, and more us end nogensinde før.
Hjernen og hænderne bag det hele var vores designer, Trang:
I took the AhaSlides’ accumulated vision and added bits of my own. We’ve ended up with something that’s great for new users, but also a fitting and heartfelt ‘thank you’ to those that have been with us since day one.

Let’s take a look at what changes we’ve made and exactly how they can help you make presentations that are smarter and better for your audience.

Forbedret udseende og følelse 🤩
This time around, we decided to go with something a bit more… us.
Brandidentitet was a big focus point of the new design. While in the past we may have been a little reserved, we’re now ready to be pin.
Tilgangen til vores nye identitet er opdelt i 3 dele:
#1 – Illustration
When we started in 2019, cute, colourful imagery wasn’t really high up on the ‘to-do list’. We opted for functionality rather than appearance.
Nu, med et solidt udviklingsteam, der arbejder hårdt på at skabe og forbedre funktioner, kunne vores chefdesigner Trang fokusere på at lave AhaSlides mere attraktivt. Det var en enorm opgave at danne en ny brandidentitet omkring illustrationer og animationer, men en der resulterede i et stort bibliotek med søde designs:
Tjek disse andre eksempler på nye illustrationer på Mit præsentations dashboard og Tilmeld siden:
Each illustration has its own place and role. We think it’s a warmer welcome to our new and current users, who can see the playful spirit of AhaSlides as soon as they’re logging in.
After talking with Dave [CEO of AhaSlides], we decided that we wanted to make things more vibrant and more playful. As you can see, the imagery now is more rounded, more cute, but we didn’t want to make it too childish. I think what we have now is a god balance mellem sjov og funktion.

#2 – Colour
Livskraft really was the keyword with the new design. We wanted something that wasn’t shy of its own vivacity, and something that reflected the joy of creating an exciting presentation to share with a live audience.
That’s why we doubled down on stærke, dristige farver.
Vi forgrenede os fra det signaturblå og gule af vores logo og udvidede vores farvepalet til nuancer af rød, orange, grøn og lilla:
Vi håbede, at denne farverige grænseflade ville inspirere vores brugere til start noget farverig.

⭐ Kommer snart! ⭐ Of course, we wanted to extend our new focus on colour to our users as well. That’s why presenters will soon have the option of selecting any colour under the sun for deres tekst:
#3 – Information Architecture
Det siger sig selv, at et nyt udseende skal have en funktion.
That’s why we made a big change to the IA (Information Architecture) of AhaSlides. This basically means that we re-arranged and re-imagined parts of our software to better help users understand what they’re doing.
Here’s one example of what we mean – the old and new present buttons:
lignende alle knapper i det nye design, ovenstående har det, vi kun kan beskrive som en mere knap-y-følelse. We’ve added a similar shadow and glow to many selection options not just to give them a real feel, but also to improve the IA, so that users better understand what’s selected and where their focus should be.
Hvad ellers? Nå, du kan se et par IA-ændringer i dette billede:
Aside from the button, we’ve made more improvements in the following ways:
- Individuelle kasser for at hjælpe med at adskille hvert element.
- Fed tekst adskiller indtastet information fra den falmede tekst i en tom boks.
- Ikoner og farver lad informationsbokse skille sig ud.
The changes in the information architecture may be subtle, but that was my intention. I didn’t want our users to have to move to a new house, I simply wanted to decorate, in small ways, the home that they’re already in.

Bedre organisation, jævnere navigation 📁
Like we said – what’s the point in making things prettier if the functionality doesn’t improve alongside it?
That’s where our second big change comes in. We’ve bought a load of digital furniture and sorted out the clutter.
Let’s take a look at 4 areas where we’ve made improvements:
- Min præsentations dashboard
- Editorens øverste bjælke
- Editor venstre kolonne
- Editor Højre kolonne (kommer snart!)
#1 – My Presentations Dashboard
Okay, we admit it – it wasn’t always the easiest thing to find and arrange your presentations on the dashboard’s old design.
Luckily, we’ve changed things big time on the new dashboard…
- Hver præsentation har sin egen container.
- Beholdere har nu miniaturebilleder (miniaturebilledet er det første billede af din præsentation).
- Præsentationsmuligheder (duplikat, sletning af data, sletning osv.) Er nu i en pæn kebab-menu.
- Der er flere måder at sortere og søge efter dine præsentationer på.
- Your ‘Workspace’ and your ‘Account’ are now separated in the left column.
⭐Kommer snart!⭐ There will be a brand new dashboard view option in the near future – Grid View! Denne visning giver dig mulighed for at se dine præsentationer i et billedcentreret gitterformat. Du kan til enhver tid skifte mellem gittervisning og standard listevisning.
#2 – Editor Top Bar
We’ve reshuffled a few things with the top bar on the editor screen…
- Antallet af indstillinger i den øverste bjælke er nedskaleret fra 4 til 3.
- Dropdown-menuer for hver mulighed giver bedre organisering.
- Bredden på rullelisterne er ændret for at sikre, at menuen passer ind i højre kolonne.
#3 – Editor Left Column
Simpler, slicker design in your presentation contents column. Grid view also has a whole new look…
- Diasindstillinger er nu ophævet i en kebab-menu.
- En ny knapvisnings knap knap er blevet tilføjet i bunden.
- Layoutet og driften af Grid View forbedres meget.
⭐ Kommer snart! ⭐ The right column is not quite finished yet, but here’s what you can expect to see there shortly!
#4 – Editor Right Column
Small changes to icons, big changes to text colour…
- Re-designet ikoner til hver diasetype.
- Et stort udvalg af tekstfarveindstillinger.
- Re-ordered elements in the ‘Content’ tab.
Rediger hvor som helst, på enhver enhed 📱
For those 28% of our users editing their presentations on mobile, we’re sorry for neglecting you for so long 😞
With the new design, we wanted to provide our mobile and tablet users with a platform that’s lige så lydhør som desktop. Det betød at genoverveje hvert element for at sikre, at vores brugere kunne redigere på farten.
Selvfølgelig starter det hele med instrumentbrættet. We’ve made a few changes here…
The most important information about your presentations and folders are on display here. There’s also the kebab menu on the right that keeps all presentation settings organised.
On og editor, you’re greeted with another more friendly interface.
Igen er alt gemt væk i kebab-menuer. At gøre dette rydder distraktionerne og giver dig så meget mere plads til at se din samlede præsentation.
Is it becoming obvious we love kebabs? We’ve replaced the overcrowded top bar of old with, yep, another kebab menu! It makes for a meget mindre overvældende interface og lader dig fokusere på kvaliteten af din præsentation.
Jeg ville virkelig fjerne nogle af begrænsningerne that stop our mobile users from creating the presentations they want. We went with something more sleek and simple than before, but we’ve still got store planer for AhaSlides’ mobile capabilities in the future!
