Some easy incremental changes

Haven’t checked out the product in a while, these were some of my first reactions upon checking out one of the new question pages.

After some thought, here are some thoughts on the homepage as well.

Not sure how I feel about the color usage on the home page idea… there is probably a nicer way of including it. I think it’s a little too colorful at the moment.

Let me know what you guys think! Maybe someone will come up with something better, but I hope it inspires some ideas!

Awesome. Completely agreed on giving the compare view more prominence, and yes the colors currently are a little weird as they don’t really serve any goal.

Really like the new design, I guess my only concern is that some pro/con titles are really long, and having two columns might be a little tight. Also, we have a lot more pros than cons, so a lot of the content would be off balance. Love the idea of the line showing the pro:con ratio.

The only issue I have with this is that we want the click target for people coming from the homepage to be the question, not one of the options. Apart from that the design looks great and really helps structure the navigational elements. Oh, I guess the voting is also a little confusing given we don’t have question level voting yet.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this Ryan!
