Hey! guyz today opened dynadot website and saw they have changed their site look.

i think it's good change, what you guyz think about it?

This one is obviously better. The old one looked like it was made in the 90:s so I vote for this one.

The only thing that was a tad lazy was chucking the menu links inside table cells instead of styling the actual anchors to be that entire block. It would have made clicking a little more fluid, but it's only a minor thing.

One cannot say any site is "all bad" or "all good".

The "Old Design" for me was always one of an exercise in utilitarian simplicity -- obviously no graphics and intentionally had little design specifically to keep things fast and load-balanced. I never cared one way or the other; with 200+ domains pointing to many areas and otherwise all I want is something which works. Dynadot's features for the price is well worth it, compared to many other registrars.

The "New Design" is quietly awesome, in most aspects, but not all. It uses modern design features of white space better than I have seen in many expensive websites. The whole point in design is to bring about a sense of worth in what we are looking at, stirring our minds to different forms of action and clarity of what the website's message is.

On the not-so-great side for example, for me, the Light Black on Grey of the "Please use caution when posting" box above my post feedback entry forces me to "think too much" about what is being said, so I have to slow down to read and understand it. Strange, but not good for me. So I would tend to not read the [contents of the] box at all.

I do, however, appreciate the large-sized fonts, thank you.

I am still looking at the same pretty woman on the homepage when I log in, so things haven't changed that much :-)

and now i am familiar with this design.... even i don't remember the old site look now ... hmmmm.....

The new design looks more serious and corporate.

This should attract even more users, who will hopefully subsidize  a) cool new features,  b) lower prices,  or  c) both.

:)

I like the new design, brings Dynadot up to date if you ask me.

New design is awesome, don't bother changing it, people will get used to it.

Yes I was surprised at first.

While I am happy to stay with the old design on the basis that if it aint broke then why fix it.

However, I am happy with either one.

I didn't like, could be more modern.

I think it would be a bit more usable if the links had some kind of hover indication as well as encompassing the entire 'button' image instead of just the text.
