I hate the new beta. Its more like a candy factory website than anything else. Its too crazy with colors and also too damn dark. Its layout is hard to understand and requires too much thinking.
Sorry to say but this is like a fancy flyer. No userability and dark colors. Just Keep it simple. If i were you i would put my efforts to build more tools for the clients not generate new graphics. how about having an innovative tool only available to clients? is this a very tempting offer to stay here or gain new clients? ;-)
Google.com is also NOT valid http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.2
Thats not important, ye?!
What is important - I will change my service provider if the new Beta finally replaces the current website. I cant use that crazy dark-colored thing. Its disgusting, depressing.
Its like its not even ment for people to use it, more like an advertisement-type of thing to attract new customers and thats stupid!
I demand decent user interface and I sincerely hope you dont ruin your brand by degrading it to that cheap-looking new Beta level!
I am glad I'm NOT the only one who HATES the beta colors. The dark colors are a total turn off and makes me sick [depressing should be the word instead] even looking at them. I don't like the new green logo. Too many people want to do this leaf/fireball stuff which is NOT cool. It doesn't feel professional. It looks childish if the truth is to be told.
There's a reason why the old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix" exists.
