Designing the Vexly dashboard for decisive teams
The dashboard home page is the command center for Vexly. It has to feel confident, modern, and fast — more like an ops cockpit than a marketing site.
Principles we kept
- Default to dark with neon edges. The high-contrast palette keeps focus on live states and mirrors the way Vexly feels inside Slack.
- One hero action. “Launch in my workspace” is the primary CTA everywhere. We removed anything that distracted from that path.
- Evidence over adjectives. Cards show real actions: syncing PagerDuty rotations, connecting AWS, pulling Stripe disputes. No filler.
How it shaped the blog
We carried the same tone into the blog:
- Clear hierarchy. Hero > Feature highlights > Latest drops. You see what’s new without scrolling forever.
- Product-first storytelling. Posts lead with what shipped and how to try it, not fluff.
- Native feel. The gradients, pill controls, and glassmorphism echo the dashboard, so readers know they are still in Vexly territory.
If you’re designing internal tools, try this constraint: every pixel should make someone on your team faster. That rule shaped the dashboard — and now the blog.
