LinkedIn Redesigns Desktop Website

January 23, 2017

LinkedIn has launched a redesign of their website to provide a consistent user experience for users that have with the mobile app, according to the announcement on their blog.

What’s New?

Navigation – There is a new menu structure from what users are used to. The new navigation has seven core sections that include Home, Messaging, Jobs, Notification, Me, My Network, and Search.

Messaging – A new real-time messaging tool will let you chat with your connections – similar functionality to what Facebook’s Messenger App does.

Feed – LinkedIn has changed up the news feed to populate with the most relevant content from connections and publishers. (I’m assuming this is where you’ll see an increase in ads.)

Search – An improved search functionality will allow users to find jobs, companies, people, groups, and schools. Users will also be able to filter their searches too.

Content Metrics – Users will now have greater insights into who is engaging with their content

Improved Profiles – LinkedIn has improved the profile layout and given users more suggestions to look at how to improve their profile
