FreeIndex Redesign

Hi Everyone.

We thought you might like to hear about the new FreeIndex design, which we launched this week.

Here is a quick summary!

In General

  • New, faster to load design
  • New drop down menus on the main navigation tabs at the top
  • New standard user avatars across the site

On Your Profile Page

  • Fewer Ads
  • If you have more than 5 photos, a great looking photo slider is displayed at the top of your page
  • Your images can now be seen all at once on one clear and simple page, instead of the old pop up gallery which on reflection was a bit slow and fiddly
  • Implemented a brand new review summary panel at the top right of your page which clearly shows your overall rating and review distribution
  • New larger, clearer award graphics. (You need at least 10 reviews to receive an award.)

We are very pleased with the increase in speed as it’s something we are continuously working to improve, now that the site is so busy. We also think the design of your profile page is the best it’s ever been by quite some margin. We hope you agree!

Have a great Christmas break, and we will see you in the New Year!
Best wishes from all of us here at FreeIndex


PS. If you like FreeIndex (and we hope you do), please help us to spread the word by clicking our Facebook Like button at the top of the site. Thank you!

PPS. Please note that support over the Christmas period will be limited.

Hello Guys!

That seems to be a good step, however I would suggest going for a very responsive design, page speed, as well as an app please :)

Look forward to that
