Design Share: Oct 23-Nov 3

The Design Team provides design for the WordPress project.

Want to get involved? See the handbook and optionally drop into #design to chat. Most active design work happens in the block editor project, consider dropping into Needs design or Needs design feedback.

Figma Access

You don’t need edit access to use the Figma libraries, you can copy components from there into your own drafts. If you’re a contributor with the ability to grant edit access, please be mindful, and downgrade to view access once the initial need for edit has waned.

DropdownMenu component

An initial look at designs for the new DropdownMenu component that seeks to install some consistency versus the current implementation.

Pages Grid

Refining the recently-implemented grid data view. Follow along in this issue.

Page quick actions

An early exploration around how we might expand quick actions in the Pages list. Issue.

Experiments page

Very early sketch for an updated Experiments page in the GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. Inactive experiments are separate and emphasized using imagery.

WP.org Documentation Chapter Listing

A small iteration of the layout and behavior of the Chapters list for wp.org documentation, featuring a simplified chapters list, a reduced collapse icon and behavior, sticky behaviors on scrolling, and refined responsive behaviors.

WP.org Design Library tweaks

Continuing with the redesign of the WordPress site, we made some tweaks to site-wide components.
