Buxr front page redesign

January 20th, 2009

If you haven’t noticed yet, we’ve redesigned the Buxr homepage. The old page had a catchy web 2.0-ish look and served us well as an entry point to our site, especially for new visitors. As Buxr matured so did our vision for the front page. Our goal was to lose our flashy front page graphics and slogans, and replaced them with useful functionality for both new and long time members. We think we have achieved this goal.

The new front page is a huge difference compared to the old one. It is packed with information and resembles a navigational panel with multiple controls or modules. Each module represents a different aspect of Buxr’s social ‘life’: shopping, contests, discussions, etc.

It may seem a bit overwhelming to somebody looking at it for the first time, but the good part is that we made it as configurable as possible. You can remove or rearrange the modules on the dashboard and change the information in each of them. You can accomplish this via ‘Layout’ and ‘Settings’ menu items accessible from the navigational tabs (Buxr account is required).

As they say, one picture is worth a hundred words so go ahead and explore it for yourself. If you do have any words you want to share, leave them in the comments to this post or join this forum discussion.
