BIMstop's new look

At BIMstop we don't like to settle or just stick to the old way of doing things, we want the best, most useful site for our architectural community around the globe and we pour all of our energy into achieving it.

Over the last 12 months, we've spent a lot time talking to our community of architects and designers, as well as our manufacturer clients to find out what parts of BIMstop they love and what bits were quite simply getting in their way. From this we learnt a huge amount further about the great community we have and made the decision to give our interface (the face and experience to our users) a big overhaul.

We decided to start completely fresh and set a few goals: The new experience had to be: refined, modern, fast, understandable, more searchable and help specifiers discover new products.

After months of work, we're please to release it into the wild for everybody. We do have a large range of extra features being released over the next 6 weeks, but here is the first few that I'd love to highlight:

New homepage:

The new homepage design puts you straight into our library and makes it even easier to filter your searches by category, country and format. Making finding any product even easier.

Manufacturers view:

One click and you can see our new manufacturers view. This allows you to quickly browse all of the manufacturer's content on BIMstop and also highlights their latest and most popular products.

You can also easily click to follow the brands you love, putting them into your activity stream.

Profile pages:

The new profile pages give you a clearer look at everything a manufacturer has available on BIMstop, as well as their latest uploads and activity.

Product pages:

The product pages have also had a huge overhaul, making the product's information easier to read. We've also put a lot of work into making the pages smarter, each product's page now shows more about the brand and its other available products. We also use data to match and suggest other products related to it or you can easily jump right back into another search.
