The redesigned jmp.com is live and promises a faster, more streamlined experience. This significant update reflects JMP's growth and commitment to providing a user-friendly platform for our global audience.
A key driver behind the redesign was establishing jmp.com as a standalone website independent of SAS systems. This move allows for greater agility and control, enabling the JMP web team to tailor the site to JMP users' needs.
“We can maintain the site with a small team and still provide the functionality we need,” Digital Design Senior Manager Aaron Kennedy (@Aaron_Kennedy) explained. “What we've built is a leaner solution, better suited for a company the size of JMP."
The redesign also emphasizes a stronger alignment with the broader JMP brand, ensuring a cohesive and recognizable online presence.
Enhanced performance means better user experience
The new jmp.com prioritizes speed and responsiveness. A collaboration with Adobe has resulted in a new document authoring tool, significantly improving website performance. Visitors will have faster loading times and a smoother browsing experience. JMP content authors will also benefit from an improved user interface, making content management more efficient.
“Aaron and his team have done a tremendous job collaborating with our external partners Arbory Digital and Adobe directly to bring this new version of jmp.com to life,” Digital Operations Director John Jones (@JonesieAtJMP) said. “We are one of the first companies to use this new authoring tool from Adobe, and while it’s not been without challenges, it has also been exciting for the team to be helping shape the product as we build out our new site."
Simplified global reach
The website adopts a "language-only model," streamlining the user experience. It continues to support nine languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, ensuring accessibility for our global user base.
Kennedy says all URLs will change because of the new model. But don’t fret—redirects are in place to ensure seamless navigation.
Most of the content has been migrated, and work is ongoing to complete the remaining content transfer. While additional feature requests are not currently being accepted, users are encouraged to report any critical issues through jmp.com/request, selecting "General Web/Design | AEM Support [Web Team].”
The new jmp.com represents a significant step forward, offering a more efficient, user-friendly platform for accessing JMP resources and information. “It’s been a long time in the making, and it’s exciting to finally launch the new site,” Kennedy said. “Thanks for the concerted effort across the teams within Digital Operations and JMP Marketing.”
