Quote - The new design: I vote mess. I went in this weekend. Not only is it cluttered, they seem to have discarded the complete list of partner vendors (thanks for the gratitude) and the Shopping Cart is actually worse than it used to be -- which took some doing. I swear, there must be some special customer relations program, perhaps at Provo Tech and Charm School, where folks who run Poser marketplaces learn to shoot off their toes.
Well put! ;-)
They have gotten the thumbs so small now (35 x 35 pixels) that they serve about as much purpose as a box marked "Thumb" would. Once you actully get to the product the main images are also smaller (though you can pop up the former size) and the page is awfully cluttered and wasteful of space.
I emailed them yesterday to let them know how unhappy I am with the layout. My stuff has been selling very nicely at Content Paradise, but I expect sales to take a big hit with the new layout. So unnessary, too, the old layout was very nice, though I would have like to see bigger (not smaller, which is what we got) main images. We sell to people who are graphicly oriented, I want to show why my stuff is worth buying.
Plus it seems really slow in loading pages.
It is a very pretty site, layout, don't get me wrong, but I'm there to sell Poser products, not get design awards.
