This Website Gets Smaller

Bring back the yellow!

Simplify the world!
Damn the Mystifyers!
Just the content please.

The old site rules, bring it back… But keep this one too… For thous of us who might wanna read your site over a cell phone or a dial up connection.


I hope I did not sound really straight forward and rude… If I did I’m sorry.

I like this one (Your designs of old were great too).

But I guess I even like my own temp-designed blog. Which sports a “hot” red stripe at the top. ;)

Like any true Islander, I dislike change!
Happy New Year, all!

Wow, talk about surprise when I hit the site today. Not sure how to respond with first impressions but as an overall, I like the new site. It’s right to the point, what the users come to see. My only issue would be the lack of navigation.

I don’t miss the yellow at all although I didn’t mind the previous site either. Yellow was always the first thing that came to my mind when I though of reinvented.

I’ll have to reflect on how the austere look affects my experience. Meanwhile, how it affects my browser (Netscape

and I only see half a logo

Indeedy, all seems well through my Netscape glasses. Meanwhile, I promised my deeper thoughts (such as they are) and they are as follows: I liked the old page, which being more elaborate had the advantage of enabling more Rukavinian stylishnesses, but I like the new spare look too, and I think it’s better for your content. The look before was more “magazine,” while the look now is more “wire service”—and feels more temporal and dynamic. The old look had more of a billboard quality.

Peter: They will find a way.

That said, I think the old design was better for promoting your company (“About Reinvented”, and your bio page). When you tell ‘em you’re into simplicity and iconoclasm, I presume you don’t want them to conclude you’re opposed to icons and color all together, which it seems they might.

Jevon…Superior intellect always requires a good challenge,n’est pas? In future, I will try to make everybody’s life a little better and avoid the refresh button. I wish all our problems were as petty…

Don’t make to many changes based on first-impression subjective feedback.

One criticism: You are commiting one of Jakob Nielsen’s Top 10 mistakes of web-design of 2002: Mailto Links in Unexpected Locations.

I agree, and a mailto here and there is a fine way of doing it. ;)

The other solution, when allowing communication between users (when no profile exists) is to bring the user to a mailer form. Which would not be entierly expected either.
