We’ve been talking about redesigning the site for a long time, I’ve finally had time to do this. The new design can be viewed by clicking here I know most readers don’t like change and are happy with the site as is. There are two main reasons we want to make this change:
- The current wordpress theme we are using is no longer being updated. This causes issues with updating wordpress and implementing newer versions of PHP as well. I think this has also caused Google to somewhat hate us as we no longer receive much Google traffic compared to past years.
- I want to make some content easier to access.
With this new redesign the main thing I wanted to keep the same was for the newest posts to be easily accessible on the home page. The other common complaint we get is from readers that are only interested in bank bonus/credit card posts – that’s why below the newest posts we’ve also added the newest posts from those categories. There are some things I’d still like to change (on the homepage it would be nice to have the category next to the author name and also have ‘read more’ after the teaser text), but it’s at the stage where I’d like to get some reader feedback.
Try to keep the feedback constructive. Share what you like/dislike and things that could be improved upon. Try to get an open mind and don’t worry too much about things like ad placement as that will be adjusted anyway. The new design can be viewed by clicking here. It’s similar to the site redesign we abandoned in 2018 that you might have seen before.
Changes we’ve made based on your feedback:
- Comments are now sorted by newest first by default. You can still see the oldest comments first by clicking ‘oldest’.
