Hey swies, I have some tangentially related feedback. I've always had ninite.com bookmarked since I found it, and the other day I was going through and sorting my bookmarks; when ninite.com loaded, I was immediately thrown off. From what I recall, the site's design used to be dark and looked very simple and professional to me; as soon as I saw this light-blue design with the "Featured in..." on the right, I thought "oh, no, the site was sold and became some park domain from the 90s...". It's weird, after that initial reaction, as soon as I read anything on the page, it was clear that everything was normal; the more I look at the design, the more I think everything looks fine and there's nothing bad about the design. But I definitely had that reaction and almost turned away from the site on the quick, and thought that feedback might be useful. At the very least, I think you should consider redesigning how the "Featured in..." is displayed; when it's a bunch of logos as one .png, it looks like a big ad and is a big turnoff until you notice what it's saying. I think something laid out more dynamically than within a box that stands out from the rest of the background would do a lot of good.
- swies 15y agoThanks for the feedback. The lighter designs we've been using lately are much more readable (they've pretty much eliminated common questions about things we already say on the homepage). That block of logos is just temporary, we just put the current design up a week ago and haven't had much time to iterate on it yet.
