    Red face Namecheap Redesigned - Too Dull

    After MediaTemple (mt) So Namecheap changed their Template as well. But isn't it too Dull?
    It is bit better than their previous template but still its not really attractive template as a huge company.

    I think it looks great ... I am not a fan of the cartoony look of the Domain or Hosting industry.

    Namecheap Rocks

    Not bad, but still better than the old Design.
    Bit to clean view.

    I agree. The new design does not fit. It look too amateur in comparison to the previous one.

    ->No prices at first look
    -->If I don't read I don't now what's all about.
    --->The new trademark look is not fitting.
    ---->The colors don't match the company's image.
    ----->It does not mention the features right away.
    ------>Overall organization is a fail.

    Way to destroy a well known brand.

    My wife impression was "It looks nice, it resembles a lot bootstrap".

    Mine was: "Where am I?" Is this a blog? Did I typed the url correctly? Where are the prices? Is this namecheap?

    I went to web archive to look at the previous design. The previous one is so beautiful, it inspires confidence.

    As a known company you should not change designs like that. If you are going to change your trademark image, you should announce it(maybe i missed it), and evolve the website into the new one slowly. This way customers won't get confused. The image, the look, the colors, is what the customers remember of a trademark, imagine coca cola changing to blue from red. It would be a disaster.

    Are we sure namecheap didn't got defaced? ...

    I dislike designs like this. I did like the old one though. Just simple. But, the majority will like it.

    New one is not bad.But i have to say old one was a lot better.
    Failure is success if we learn from it.

    Actually There is an ongoing Trend of Sleek Hosting Designs. And i think started by SiteGround.
    http://www.siteground.com/
    Then MT changed their, http://mediatemple.net/
    And Now NC: https://www.namecheap.com/

    They are all utilizing bootstrap. We switched to it about a month ago. But personally i liked the other one better.

    Your template is actually seem to be a genuine hosting template. But NC template is like a photography blog with no clear info.

    The new design fits a non-profit, like a charity or something. Even a church LOL

    It is nice but looks a little bit like a blog design template. Personally I prefer the old design.

    I liked this design but I think it's not for a large company like NC.

    Me too don't like this new design, it is not really looking attractive to me at all. It doesn't reflect the name / design of a "big company" who already has millions of customers.

    I think they should change it again to something more professional than just BIG & BOLD stuff.

    The design is modern but I prefer the old design, new design seems to be more suitable for viewing from much larger/higher screen resolution. I just noticed about the new design just now when I wanted to buy domains, not quite user friendly for my laptop screen size of 1366 x 768. The only thing I do is keep scrolling up and down. :/

    I really dislike it, think it looks far too generic now. It's what I'd expect one of those free modern web site templates that thousands of people use to look like.

    I miss the brighter colors, it's so boring and dull. To be 100% honest it looks like a ThemeForest template...

    And how strange, everyone on Facebook really "like" their new design but here on WHT everybody "dislike" it

    Definitely prefer their old template. At least it was more welcoming.....now it is just the opposite.
