Cisco.com: A better way to navigate to countries


image

We're instituting a nice upgrade to the country and language selection on Cisco.com. This new function will appear soon on our worldwide site, but you can already see a working sneak preview on many of our country sites. For instance, go to our UK and Ireland site and choose to change country at the top of the page.

You'll get a new popup with an interactive region and country selector:

When you select a region, the screen wipes to a new view of countries in that region:

With it's light animation, the selector is even slicker to see in action, so you should try it on one of the country sites where we have it in preview (like UK & Ireland or Argentina or many others.)

An advantages of using interactive country selection like this is that there's much less scrolling vs. the traditional pulldown list or long selection page that you see on many sites.

Kudos to Chris, Sumeet, Philippe, Valerie, Janet, and everyone else who helped get this across the finish line.

We have some additional future tune-ups planned, so let us know what enhancements or changes you would like to see.
