New Interface Launch…
Now that we’re over the speed bump that was our SpamHaus listing yesterday, - I may have more to say about SpamHaus’ vigilante brand of Spam fighting in the future - it’s full steam ahead putting the finishing touches on our new interface in preparation for tonight’s big launch!
To get into the spirit I was able to corner one of our developers and ask a few questions regarding the new interface changes…
Ben has been with us for just over a year and was one of the developers key to the implementation of our new Merchant Control Panel changes.
What’s your background Ben?
I’ve been a programmer and web developer for about 7 years.
How long have you been working on the new Merchant Control Panel?
Over a month.
What was the toughest hurdle you had to deal with?
Creating a consistent Look & Feel across so many pages.
What do you see these changes helping our Merchants?
Having a consistent layout makes the site more readable and easier to use. Hopefully this will enable our merchants to spend more time focusing on whatever it is they’ve logged in to do and less time trying to locate particular features.
On one hand we’ve created a clearer presentation of sections and categories by better arranging page layouts in order to provide an easier learning curve for new merchants.
While at the same time, for the sake of our existing merchants, we’ve maintained the locations of all existing pages and maintained our previous sub-menu structures so the transition to the new interface will be as smooth as possible.
What do you like most about the new design?
With a cleaner layout, it’s easier to find the information you’re looking for on individual pages.
What is your favorite color?
Blue, no red, no blue!
Any final thoughts?
I hope our merchants all enjoy the style changes and can’t wait to hear the feedback!
As you can see, we’ve all invested a lot of time and energy into planning and building a new interface that will carry us forward in the years to come! Thanks to Ben for his time and to everyone who has provided your valuable feedback so far!
Hope everyone is as excited as we are about tonight’s 10 pm launch (EST).
Oh, I almost forgot. Apparently our team has devised a way to changeover to the new Interface without ANY downtime at all! So if you were worried about not being able to log into your account from 10 to 10:30 tonight, problem solved!
Cheers!
