But it&#8217;s just not about a slick interface, there&#8217;s plenty more reasons why we made this move.<\/p>\n<h3>Better Navigation and Easier Access to Information<\/h3>\n<p>Over the years Creately has grown into one massive website filled with guides, tutorials, diagram examples and usability tips. However finding them was not an easy task. The new layout makes it easier to find that information with better internal linking and navigation structure.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re constantly looking to improve the user experience so we highly appreciate any feedback on how to improve this further.<\/p>\n<h3>Faster Loading Times<\/h3>\n<p>Slow loading sites are the bane of the Internet. Creately loads faster than most sites but after the changes it should be even faster. Most of our content are served via a CDN so you can enjoy a much smoother experience. The underlying framework that serve content was also updated to adhere to the modern web development standards.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10604\" style=\"width: 456px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/road-runner.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10604\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10604\" alt=\"Faster loading times for a better user experience\" src=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/road-runner.jpg\" width=\"446\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2013\/08\/road-runner.jpg 446w, https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2013\/08\/road-runner-300x226.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10604\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Faster loading times for a better user experience<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Improved Features Page<\/h3>\n<p>Creately is packed with features to make diagramming fast and easy, but only a handful of users utilize them fully. We&#8217;re partly to blame since our previous tour page did a poor job of describing the features. The brand new features page explains the most important features of Creately in a clear concise manner.<\/p>\n<p>Even a Creately power user will probably discover something he\/she didn&#8217;t know before. To see what you&#8217;re missing <a title=\"Creately features page\" href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/tour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">check out the features page &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Awesome Examples Page<\/h3>\n<p>Creately supports more than 40 diagram types and have professionally designed templates for most of them. Examples page highlights some of these beautiful examples while making it easy to find specific examples for each diagram type. Flowcharts, Org charts, Site maps we got them all at our <a title=\"Creately diagram examples\" href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/diagram-examples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">diagram examples page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If those examples are not enough you can always visit the <a title=\"Creately Diagramming Community\" href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/diagram-community\/popular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">diagramming community<\/a> packed with thousands of diagrams.<\/p>\n<h3>We Want Your Feedback<\/h3>\n<p>Love the new layout?
