Site Updates #2

Manish, my web guy, came back with more site updates yesterday. While it appeals to my sense of compartmentalization and order, I agree with Oana that to most people it is cluttered, boring, and way too blue and white. It sort of reminds me of Google's personalized homepage, which is full of feeds, boxes, and other widgets. It also doesn't really highlight the networking function of the site. From the homepage, it looks just like any other job site, which is the exact opposite of what I want it to do.

Further, the site undergoes some goofy formatting issues when viewed by Mozilla's Firefox browser for some reason.

In the next iteration, we're going to shoot for something that looks a little more interesting, isn't drowning in a sea of blue, and better highlights the site's main value--the democratization of the hiring process by empowering current employees and applicants.

I am also thinking about changing the splash page to look something like this, which is simpler and more to the point. It would allow Job Seekers or Current Employees to choose which part of the site to go to right away.


Please feel free to poke around the demo site and provide your feedback below. If nothing else, it looks better than Google's original page, which is something....
