PTC Velocity is a Sales Enablement Platform, powered by SAVO Group. The goal of this project was to revamp the web UI and navigation that result in better user experience.
User Research • Prototyping • UI Design • UI Development
Though its purpose is to enable better sales process, PTC Velocity’s bad UI and poor content organization were not tailored to fit the needs of our daily users, the sales reps and partners reps.
We knew the website refresh needed to start from home. The old homepage did not serve much of its purpose. Randomly placed announcement banners and unclear buttons on top made the homepage to look confusing.
With the this project, we wanted to accomplish following goals:
To learn more about our users’ experience with the current site, we conducted user interviews and usability testing. Based on the feedbacks we collected, we were able to identify 3 major user behavior using this platform.
“When I go into Velocity, I care more about information design than pretty looking UI. As long as I can find contents as quickly as possible, the better.”
Many users struggled navigating through pages to find the right content. We needed to find the best way to make their discovery experience easy and seamless.
The design process consisted of card sorting, information architecture, task flows, and creating low-fi/high-fi wireframes.

Here is a condensed, practical guide to get your cracked server online for free, 24/7.
Step 1: Sign up for Oracle Cloud. Use a valid email and phone number. When asked for a credit card, understand they will authorize a $1 temporary charge (refunded). They will not bill you unless you manually upgrade to a paid account.
Step 2: Create a VM instance. Choose:
Step 3: Open firewall ports in Oracle’s networking panel. Add an Ingress Rule for:
Step 4: SSH into your VM. Install Java:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre-headless -y
Step 5: Download the Minecraft server JAR (Paper or Fabric for better performance). For a cracked server, use any build.
Step 6: Run the server once to generate files, then stop it. Edit server.properties and set:
online-mode=false
enable-whitelist=true (CRITICAL for cracked servers)
Also set max-players=20 to stay within free resource limits.
Step 7: Add an authentication plugin like AuthMeReloaded to require a login command (/register, /login). This stops nickname theft.
Step 8: Run the server inside a screen session or create a systemd service to ensure it restarts on reboot. minecraft cracked server hosting free 24 7
Result: Your cracked Minecraft server is now online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, absolutely free, with no player count limits beyond your CPU.
⚠️ Warning: Many “free 24/7 cracked hosting” sites (especially on YouTube ads) are scams or install malware.
Your server is free, but that doesn’t mean it has to lag. Follow these tips:
Let’s separate hype from reality. Below are the three viable methods to achieve a cracked server online around the clock, with no payment.
Q: My friends get “Failed to verify username” error.
A: This means your server is still in online-mode=true. Double-check the server.properties file and restart. | Feature | Typical in Free Cracked Hosting
Q: Someone stole my admin username and griefed everything.
A: You did not install an authentication plugin or whitelist. Restore from backup, enable whitelist, and use AuthMe.
Q: The free host shut down my server after 1 hour of no players.
A: That is expected behavior for Aternos/Minehut. Switch to Oracle Cloud or self-host if you need absolute 24/7.
Q: I cannot afford a domain name. How do friends connect?
A: Use your Oracle Cloud VM’s public IP address directly. For self-hosting, use No-IP or DuckDNS (free subdomains).
Avoid: Free hosts that claim "unlimited 24/7" – they either delete your server after 7 days or inject ads into chat.

There is never a perfect design! We had a lot of positive feedbacks from our users with the redesign. Users were satisfied with cleaner UI and improved navigational experience.
However, even the new design could not satisfy our users 100%. As they continued using the tool, they faced with new sets of problems. I learned how important it is to never get fully satisfied with the design decisions and the continue the effort of iteration, which should not be an option but a habitual routine.
