LUXr.co has grown! We’re happy (and relieved!) to officially announce the relaunch of LUXr.co.

Since the first generation of LUXr.co, we’ve been thoughtful to not “overbuild the site.” Starting with only the minimum info needed about the programs, Janice and Jason launched a site on Posterous in August 2010. This free and simple platform helped the company grow for a whole year. Talk about a great investment for an MVP*!

Mid-last week, we soft-launched the updated and expanded LUXr.co web presence. Why? Because we had ‘way outgrown the capabilities of Posterous, and needed a site that would support our growing company.

We were especially looking for a better way to share more information about Lean UX in action, communicate about our growing set of products and begin to engage the community interested in Lean UX topics.

Check out the newly expanded sections:
* Read about Lean UX
* See the Alumni from past programs
* Learn more about LUXr Programs
* View Upcoming Events

Now that we’re moved into our new home, we’re kind of like a hermit crab…it will take us a while to fill the shell. And there are still some UI and content areas that need to be tweaked. (Go ahead and peek into the source. Just be aware that there’s some ugly that we’re still working on cleaning up.)

So, we want your feedback. What would you find helpful on LUXr.co? How can the site be of use to you? We’d love to hear from you. You can share your ideas and feedback on this handy form.

The most meaningful projects take many hands, so big shout-outs to the LUXr Interns who made the site redesign happen:

• Kevin, developer extraordinaire, for his dedicated design and development skillz.
• Paige, hunter-gatherer wild woman who collected, curated and consolidated information into coherent web copy.
• Shuqiao, bug-squasher-to-be-reckoned-with. Only a few days into her Internship and found many bits of ugly to fix.

We’re excited about the future of LUXr.co, and growing the resources that help Lean teams thrive and flourish.

Now, we gotta get back to the codex. Thanks for stopping by.

*MVP: Minimum Viable Product. It’s a tenant of the Lean Startup way, and an idea we use daily to get stuff out in the world.

We’re super thrilled to announce that LUXr has partnered with Cooper to provide a 2-day lean user experience intensive for UX Professionals. 

Why Cooper? Because (1) they’re leaders in the field of user-centered design, (2) Alan Cooper, the bombastic founder (and I mean that with all love and respect), said recently that “this stuff is the future” of software design, which is merely an expression of (3) the commitment that Cooper has made to embracing agile, customer development, and all of the changes they portend.

To top it off, Change.org will be our test subject for the duration of this hands-on workshop. So as you learn, you’ll be creating real results for a noble startup. 

LUXi is cheap (only $800). It’s new. It’s even a little controversial. Wouldn’t LUXi be a great way to start the year? 

A quick note to let you know that if you’re thinking about signing up for the January session of LUXr San Francisco, you should jump on it. We opened registration to the public on Monday, and have only 2 spots left. Send me email (janice at luxr.co) if you want to talk before you buy.
