New Site Feedback

Lol at the remarks about how terrible the new site is.

Having used it several time to order and look around i feel it is a vast improvement on the old site. I am getting used to the layout now having spent a good bit of time looking around it. Plus, it is very fast to navigate for me.

People don't like change. It should be a concern to OCuK that some people seem to be choosing to spend their money elsewhere because they find the new web shop awkward to use, not lol worthy.

The trouble is a good layout shouldn't need getting used to, especially not by having to spend a "good bit of time" looking at it. It's so cluttered and messy, it isn't pleasant to navigate and as a result people get put off.

Is it just me or are the side banners (ads?) just a massive waste of space with everything else crammed into the middle?

Also, the sliders... :rolleyes:

Looks ridiculous maximised on a large 3840x2160 screen.

The main problem with the new site is that their is no visual hierarchy (the eye doesn't know what to look first).

The first place that the eye should look at is the tabs to "PC Systems, Laptops and Tablets" etc. But this is the LEAST visually interesting part of the page.

I did a quick mock up of how I'd start to re-order stuff (and recolour a few bits).

I have to say +1 for the old website. It was much nicer to navigate through.

Used to be able to see my RMA's via the old site - under my account. It's moved?

Am I blind???

Can't see mine either.

There used to be an option to select cases that were aimed at watercooling. I cant see this anymore? Could it be added back.

MadMouse101 · 21 Nov 2015 at 14:37

When reading the reviews why is the date, Year - Month - Day ?

koolpc · 21 Nov 2015 at 15:12

I am guessing the forums are being lined up for changes next?

sanaxe1 · 21 Nov 2015 at 15:54

Never mind sorted.

International date standard, avoids confusion to none UK people.

This was actually raised shortly before launch when we noticed it missing, however the case purchaser said that now pretty much all our cases are made to accommodate water cooling making the filter somewhat redundant
