Goal
Prototype a simpler, more intuitive, responsive, global navigation that can accomodate for marketing and engineering builds using Material components.
Challenges
At the time, the Google Fiber portal consisted of two distinct sites: a marketing-designed homepage and an engineer-built site with an iframed navigation component. This caused confusion for users who easily got lost in the navigation flow. Our proposed solution addresses this issue and ensures consistency in design and architecture across all devices.
To accommodate Fiber's potential growth from 8 cities to an unknown number, the navigation design needed to be scalable without requiring changes to the site's architecture. The proposed navigation allows for this scalability by including a scrollable area within the expanded "Cities" navigation item.
