New website design

Nico K.

Hello everyone,
I personally think that the structure and design of Brick Owl is getting a bit old. Brick Ow has been around for about 10 years now, so I think it deserves a new design. I am of course aware that this is not an easy task. If you agree with me please like, thank you very much

Just because something's old doesn't make it obsolete or mean that it needs to be changed.
Is there something specific that you don't like? Or functionality that you'd like to be included? Or any ideas at all about how to improve it?

Nico K.

@Mrs Swoop I don't know exactly how to describe it, but everything is kept in such dark colors and octagonal or not very organic. It's more about looks than features.

Mrs Swoop

Dark colours? Octagonal? I'm not seeing that. Might you be thinking of another site that has an octagonal logo?

Mrs Swoop

Oh I miscounted, that's hexagonal (?)

@Mrs Swoop I wrote the text in German, maybe the text would be translated wrong, sorry.

Nico K.

@Mrs Swoop Of course I meant square ⬜

Mrs Swoop

Oh so I jumped in completely the wrong direction, sorry

Nico K.

@Mrs Swoop No problem, give me a +1?

I am not seeing the "old" design either.
If we should talk about old, i would mention bricklink.

that page is a crazyness in my view, with old text and design.
I find brickowl bright and much more up to date to understand.
There are large pictures to showcase, "fanpage-links" at the top and just a general easyness to find about.

If you compare to bricklink, bricklink looks like a webpage that was designed back when the internet was new, and you needed to have text for everything. After adding my sets there i simply stopped adding anything else, it is so hard to understand because every settings is either a dot or a text that you need to mark yes or no with.

Here brickowl looks way more up to date and easy to navigate.

@Malnaborg Okay
