Brand new kudosNetwork design - LAUNCHED TODAY!

kudos · 18-12-08, 02:55 PM

I have been working on this for a while and today is the day of unveiling.

I am working through each site one by one, with the first under the knife being consoles.kudos.

The design is, in my opinion much fresher and vibrant than the existing kudos design.

I have kept with the same principal layout but have improved the look and feel of what goes on around it.

One of the big changes is the offers page which is now tabbed into categories. This should really help with those ratios, especially with the USA/Canadian referrals, who have the partial credit system to contend with.

At the bottom of every FAQ page there is a link to an special offerlist page which you can use to see what the offers page will look like to other users from US/CA. Take a look!

In addition to that there have been numerous other small improvements (other than the visual improvements). Too many to list but some of them are:

Referring URL added to referral info on My Status page
Help box appears over the small info text to help newbies with terms like 'greens' etc
Long expiration cookie date which means no more logging in between browser sessions
Short URLS - No need for /?ref=1 no more. Simply use /1. Old links will still work.
Loads & loads of edits behind the scene to speed things up. (best bit for
me)
New signature image for use in eXceem.
plus loads more...

If I remember something else Ive done Ill post it on here. That'll do for now I thnk.

I hope you like it. Feel free to comment.

Wow that is way cool Lee.

Very Nice Work!

On Firefox the page to the right is out of line.

IE7 it is perfect.

CTRL-F5 then it should be ok.

It has been tested in all the major browsers so WILL be fine.

Lucaio · 18-12-08, 03:03 PM

Axe08 · 18-12-08, 05:26 PM

great design! i love it.

FurbtasticM · 18-12-08, 05:26 PM

Have you always had a PS3 site Lee. Can't believe I have missed it before

The new offers layout is great stuff, thanks.

I have to be totally honest on the design though, I thought the previous one looked more professional. Sorry, just my view.

Good luck for 2009 though mate.

Furb

EDIT - Why is my own offer no longer green on Apple? Strange!

Sephora · 18-12-08, 05:32 PM

Some good improvements, well done Lee

One thing though, personally I would move the "sign up box" up - I think it's better for refs to see "sign up here" right away then having to go down the page, etc.
