Home page look different?

[cornishmaid1961]

I know what you mean Sid and that is obviously why they are trying it but personally I think design wise it makes the page look unbalanced (for want of a better word) with all that small print at the top and nothing visually appealing.

I like the new layout, far more easy on the eye. A vast improvement.

[FirstGreenIsGold]

I like it too.

If firstgreenisgold can see the new layout so should jeweleffects or am I missing something?

The eBid forum pages any international member replies too are on the eBid.net site so they must be able to click the eBid logo at the top of this page to see the new layout, Yes/No?

I think, basically, it is just the carousel that has gone (either by design or due to a glitch). Can't say I ever saw much point to the carousel, but I rarely visit that page anyway. It could do with having a fresher look though - maybe with an area for topical content (e.g. a festive look on the approach to Xmas, eggs at Easter, pumpkins at Halloween, etc.).

The home page (the first page you see on ebid.net) has not changed. The change is to the page you see when you click onto the button which takes you to your country's site.

I like the new page. Better than the carousel, IMHO.

The first page anyone lands on when searching the internet is the, YES, this looks interesting and so they venture further into the site
OR
it's a NO, this is not for me - there's nothing I want here on the page and so they click away from the site.

IMO

eBid have gone from the, hmmm, maybe I'll venture further into the site by clicking one or two cats I'll be interested in
TO
totally boring, a list of cats (very boring), nothing to keep the perspective buyers/sellers interested. The page just does not 'sing' for want of a better word/description.

The front page needs pics/colour and words to entice perspective buyers - preferably to all of us currently trying sell on eBid. You have the sellers in certain cats that do well selling, but unless eBid can get the buyers for the majority/all cats then just changing the front page will not achieve what you are after.
