Changing for the Better : 5th May 2008
First of all, a huge thank you to the hundreds of people who responded to our survey – we’ve had some great suggestions of improvements to the site. The survey will be running for the next few days before we announce the winner of the contest so if you haven’t filled it in yet, please do!
After hearing what you had to say, a few minor design and functionality changes to the site have been made. From the annoying fact you had to click twice to get to a featured site, to the scroll bar in the middle of our homepage – we’ve listened. Here are some of the changes that have been made today:
1. We have placed more visual emphasis on news and tutorials
2. Designs are now updated twice daily
3. We are increasing our regular CSS gallery updates to 4 per day
4. We are aiming to post more regular news and tutorials – so you can get your inspiration and news all in one place
5. You can now search by colour or layout from the top of the homepage
6. We are accepting reader submitted news articles
7. Only one click is required to get to a featured website
8. ... and quite a few more random improvements!
We hope that some of your niggles have been fixed and you’ll enjoy Design Shack even more!
Comments and Discussion
Was all a bit confused at the beginning when I first clicked but reading this I can understand why you've done it. I now think I like it a lot. Well doone guys and keep up the good work!
If I remember correctly this site used to have a scroll on the primary content in the middle. Often getting a double scroll (content and window) drove me crazy. I really really am glad you guys removed that!
