@Sephora - I know what you mean about the sign up thing. Ill give it some thought.

@FurbtasticM - Ive always had a PS3 site mate. It was the 2nd site I launched, about a year ago!! lol. Surprised you thought the old site was better. I thought the total opposite. Oh well. Cant please everyone. lol.

Gifts is back up.

Mobiles is now going down. Last one.

Has this sorted? If not raise a support ticket mate and Ill look into it. Seems very odd.

and thats it.

mobiles.kudos is back up now.

Points is still the old design but I will be bringing that up to date in the new year.

Hope the new design increases ratios. Ill be keeping a very close eye to see what the impact is.

oh, and Merry Christmas.

Absolutely immense Lee,

I am really impressed with the new design. Very vibrant and appealing

lgs1983 · 18-12-08, 06:30 PM

Are you on a Mac or a PC?

Seems ok for me in Safari.

Have you done a forced refresh?

CTRL-F5.

brilliant is all i can say about the new design!!

Ilikefree · 18-12-08, 07:21 PM

Design isn't my favourite I'm afraid Lee.

IMO the new logo bit (the font for the bit that says apple, or consoles ect) looks like a baby drew it...

omairt · 18-12-08, 07:31 PM

Love the new design Lee!

Though I'd agree with Ilikefree, not really a fan of the font used for the site name.

Perhaps you could use the one used for the 'K' in the logo (alba something if I remember right?).

blokman · 18-12-08, 07:34 PM

I like the new logo square design, and the gifts 'line-up'. It looks fresher and more spaced out.

Don't like some of the fonts - e.g. on the top right of each homepage 'Sign up for free, compete and offer...'

Also the register box is too far down, I was trying to sign up through the login box, which seems to be more dominating. Perhaps put it above the picture of the selected gift and get rid of the step one and step two text.

Looks miles better though!

at PS3, how did I miss that

It's not a case of pleasing everyone, you just get a feel for a site the minute you open the page, it's such a personal thing.

kudos · 19-12-08, 08:43 AM

Thanks again for the comments.

That site name font was a last minute addition. Ill see how it goes, maybe ill change it. I like it

I agree it is a personal thing, and I guess I was trying to make the site feel more modern and fun. We'll see how it goes.

messyhead · 19-12-08, 10:46 AM

Lovin the new look and the extra 'tweaks', especially the referring URL in the details. Very useful to see which site is working best to get sign ups. Will that detail be backfilled for previous sign ups or is it just from now going forward?

BananaFeet · 19-12-08, 10:48 AM

Looks very impressive.

Unfortunately we never used to capture that information so it is impossible to fill in the blanks. Therefore it will only be referrals captured from when the design changed.

Scribbler · 19-12-08, 11:16 AM

Good to see you're always looking to improve things.

I only have one gripe and that's that the login box is still far too prominent. If I'd just arrived at the site then I'd think that it was the sign-up box. Other sites have a tiny link to the log-in page or it's right at the bottom

IMHO there should only be one fill-in form on the front page and that should be for new referrals. But perhaps it's just me?
