New look for the home page
I’ve been working on a new design for the home page. The problem with the old(current) design is that it lacks certain critial components, such as navigation) and also the colors do not look very good as well.
I’ve attached a screenshot of the new design, here is how it looks at this moment. My original idea was to make it simple and clean so that visitors will not get distracted by unimportant things except taking the tour and signing up. Hope this new look somehow is an improvement to the current home page. Let me know if you have any suggestions or comments.
Harry, I’m really digging the new color scheme! The new logo also gives the whole site an updated feel.
I’m not sure if by “original idea” you meant for the old design or the new one. I think the old design did a good job of achieving simplicity and emphasizing the Sign Up and Tour. The new design I think loses some of the emphasis — the Tour link appears to be “below the fold”. If you’re still trying to keep the Tour in the forefront, you might try seeing how it looks if you put the Tour link on the right under the Sign Up Now link.
I agree that the navigation is a big plus on the new design. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Asif, glad you like it.
You are right about the tour link. I still have to wait a bit till I get the screenshots ready before figuring out where to put the tour link at a more prominant place.
