The new design is so full of contrasts that it makes my eyes tired from using the page. I switched back to the old design today. It is so much more 'collected' and calmer to look at. It makes it much easier to find what you need. As a web designer, I do however question the choice of colours behind the text. Why not change to a light grey instead of the yellow. The yellow makes it look a bit outdated. | | | Tom in London United Kingdom Local time: 11:31 Member (2008) Italian to English

Light grey put an amazing look to it instead of yellow. | | | What service or page are you specifically referring to? | Nov 28, 2022 |

As a user, I don't care about whether something "looks old" or "looks new", but rather whether it is a pleasure to use. The black text on yellow background is actually much easier to read than black text on e.g. grey background would have been. To achieve the same legibility, if the background was grey, the text would have to be made thicker. That said, #fafafa does look somewhat more classy... but it's less easy on the eye if you stare at it for a period of time:

We should give the ProZ site managers a vote of thanks for leaving the old version accessible, and I hope they will continue to do so, so that I can continue to use it. "Oldie but goldie," as they say. The worst is the modern tendency to use "grey on grey" as the default colour combination for blocks of text, making them barely legible. These old eyes struggle with that kind of thing. (Yes, I know there's a way around that.) | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » The new design on Proz.com Protemos translation business management system | Create your account in minutes, and start working! 3-month trial for agencies, and free for freelancers!
