Testing new format for navigating articles

Options
Hi all,

A new format for navigating through the articles on the main site has been developed. In the future, when you click on each particular category, Credit cards, Banking, Mortgages etc... you will get a screen like the one linked to below.

So have a look and let us know your feedback by replying to this thread. Comments on the general lay out, look and feel of it will be much appreciated

Have a look at this one for banking and loans

Cheers

    Looks good to me, I like the way it is split between important ones and less important, plus direct links to the relevant chat room board. :)

    I just pop in now and then.... :)

    Looks fantastic :)

    I think it'd look even better if the left hand orange menu wasn't orange - but that might just be my personal dislike for that colour

    What you're asking for an opinion on I like. I'm not too keen on the 'Other Stuff' links though. The principles fine of including links to the relevant chat forums and comparison sites. Don't have a problem with that, it's just the format I don't like. I don't know why though. Maybe it's the colours, or maybe it's because it looks bulky.

    Generally though, it's a good idea and perhaps in the future we could go further and merge the forum into the main site.

    Whilst I think the articles navigation is good, I don't like the bits around it. I've never like the site navigation system on the left, and the top and right column are just far too cluttered.

    I did think that the orange made the black writing harder to read.....just a though. Maybe if it was lighter....?
  • I like tha new layout - clean - clear - easy to navigate - only thing is it makes the rest of the site need a makeover !
