As you probably already noticed, we’ve changed the overall style of the site a bit, and put in our brand new logo. But this is only the beginning, as we settle in to wrestle with the interface and design demons that have been haunting us, some old, some new. Pages are going to get shuffled around a bit and with any luck, it will make more sense, especially to newcomers.
One of the things we’ll be doing is hiring outside help. We already got someone to draw us some spiffy new skritters critters, including the one in the logo. Check out one of the many that will be showing up here and there.
Isn’t he adorable?
We’re also currently working on the front page. We’ve got a new alternative front page we’re going to be comparing in terms of effectiveness with our current front page. We’re going for a simpler setup, which hopefully will be less confusing. We’ll also be making revisions to the try it page and the vocabulary page, at the very least. And what redesign would be complete without yet another version of the vocabulary list page? One day we’re going to make that page intuitive…
So tell us about your least favorite parts of the site, so we can make them suck less!
