WordPress Admin Theme Redesign

November 22, 2013

As you may know, MP6 – the new admin interface – has finally found it’s way into core and will be part of WordPress 3.8 by default. I personally love the new design and couldn’t imagine going back, but there’s always room for improvement. George Kordas has made quite a comprehensive concept of what the admin screen could look like in the future. It is modern and brings the look and feel of iOS7 to the screen with it’s blurred backgrounds and light fonts. I especially like the media uploader screen.

As he writes on the site, he’s developing this whole thing and will be releasing it as a free plugin. Looking forward to it!

This will also be a free plugin which is currently in production.

In addition to having a great product, you need a distribution strategy that can solve your “chicken and egg” or “cold start” problem.

Good design is crucial, but it’s only one of many parts that make a product successful.
