I have received mixed response about newly adopted design on ProPakistani.com through emails, comments, phone calls and verbal communication.
Many readers welcomed this new designed, liked the layout and color mixing, but equal amount of readers said that previous Greenish Theme was good.
Readers came up with following opinions
- There is not Green Color in this Design
- Previous Design was simple
- We were used to of old design
- Previous design was good, by all means
- New design takes too long to load
- We can’t see ProPakistani in any other design and many more
So I want you guys to decide me the design of ProPakistani, as I want your satisfaction more than ours’ (though we spent lot of time, resources and money on this new design)
So please participate in below poll and decide future design of ProPakistani.com
Poll will closed on February 9th, Midnight
For a glimpse, here is the snapshot of Green Design of ProPakistani
Thanks for your feedback…!
You can add your thoughts in comments
the new design is a good example of tech savvy.
anyways i voted for the old green design :P
becuase of its simplicity
and yeah the features you are talking about in new design can be implemented in old desgin as well without any problem
Amir , i agree with u that u have worked hard on this new design , i thnk that u should only add green touch to the existing theme by keeping the format as it is and just changing the colour of it. Coz i like this new theme , only missing the green colour
The new one is decent, eye soothing and change!!! I will vote for change whenever, wherever!!!
Previous Green Design was the best. I suggest revert the design. Cheers!
Hi,
I guess You should stick to similar but with some modifications. Me as Web developer and UI interface developer come up with following sugesstions, I am not sure how users will think about it.
* – Add green touch as we like it as a Pakistani identity.
* – People will get use to this soon but it need more clarity.
* – Navigation is not good over all, top navigation bar is not obvious at first glance either it should be more visible or it should come down at place categories menu which can be transfered to some other appropriate place.
* – Make Left side bar more obvious and ass some sort of seprator between post contents and side bar.
* – Also make some font changes here and there for more readability and clarity.
* – A seprator between content and comments may aslo be good and easy on eyes.
* – And also Ads ( Google etc ) can also be distinguished from the content, ya that might be no good to get random hits on ads but that must be good for visibility.
I hope all above make some sense in regards of usability.
Regards
agreed
The old design was much more relative to “Pro-Pakistani” i.e Pakistani colors. However if you tweet current design to old colors, readers won’t complain much about it.
voted for new design but still agreed with sajid bahie
voted for old design but agreed with sajid Iqbal & Muhammad Abrar Naeem.
New one is very good only in my mind the green colour is missing if you add just green colour so its looking better for readers
However i knew that how much your work hard on new look but only you forget to add green colour
Thanks to all for your feedback and added thoughts
I would say that new design looks a little more elegant but still the heading color may need another revision. It would be better to remove the orange and have a blend of bluish / sea-green color.
Just expressed my thoughts.
thanks… your thoughts are of great value to me
I wonder why did you go for POLL …!
according to me visitors want everything at their fingertips…
why not you try some modification or theme switcher plugin
Frankly speaking, both designs are not eye catcher. You need to do survey and select such design that is more compatible with your daily blogs and advertisements.
No doubt, good themes are only paid ones. But some time, we have to pay for good quality and changed looks. :)
Thanks for your input boss – That’s what i was doing, i.e. getting input from my readers.
I think we like changes as we are bored from every thing:-)
New design is quite well.
