It's not too bad. Unfortunately what I really wanted them to change wasn't just the "face" of their website, but the whole website, especially the domain managing features and whatnot. Those kept the same early 2000 design. I'm hoping it's because they didn't have time to finish redesigning everything, but why not just wait until they did?

I'm personally working on redesigning the account panel. We're about 6-8 weeks out but what we have so far is a huge improvement. Would love to hear your feedback - ted@namecheap.com

  Hey Ted, loving what you and the Namecheap team have done with the website! Would it be possible to add a few mouseover/overlay tutorials in the control panel for new users?
  - ted0 13y ago
    Yes! We plan on doing such things.

    Maybe not. Minimize the peek-a-boo UI and just organize it properly. Hidden UI = design failure and laziness.

  Looks nice! Are you planning to compare conversion metrics of the old design vs. the new? That would be very interesting!

  A huge reason why I keep recommending you to clients is because it's super simple to manage. Please keep it this way.

    It's going to be incredibly simple to manage.

What Ted said. This has been a long time coming and we wanted to roll it out in phases while we work out the kinks in parts rather than altogether. It's a tremendous undertaking and we appreciate your feedback :)

  I love the new look. It's very clean, warm and inviting. I look forward to the control panel getting a similar facelift. However, regarding the landing page, I think the teal background for the customer quotes negatively affects readability and the text seems to big. Perhaps displaying one quote at time, within a slider, would be more appealing.

Ive been using namecheap for years and I still get lost in the menus and interface every time I login to do a simple task.
