    This is a great time management tool!

    I’m not sure what it is about it, but this design doesn’t seem to flow well for me, not as well as their previous one.

    Maybe it’s the typography further down.

    This SITE is actually fundamentally awful. The reasons are obvious so I won’t list them.

    The app is pretty decent though.

    yes when i used to work at gocipher we use this application to manage all the clients is really nice application but design overall is not of my taste

    Honestly I feel like the content on this design has more breathing room than previously… for that reason alone I prefer it. A lot easier to focus on something and actually read through it before your eye is distracted by something else.

    I think it’s a major improvement from the last site design.

    The only criticism is the use of client logos and typography weights. There’s so many logos all smashed together across multiple pages that need some breathing room (and probably require it by brand guidelines).

    As for the typography, a few of the headlines are all fighting for focus and strain the eye a bit. The top few lines of text on the “extras” page is an example.

    But again, better than the last design.

    I agree that it’s better than the last one they had but… yes, fundamentally speaking, it is full of issues.

    I may be mistaken, but the site seems like it doesn’t even have a grid?

    @dudeydudedude: It does have a grid on one section but when you move on to another section, it’s a different type of grid. So I guess that equals to not having a grid at all.

    I personally feel like it’s cluttered and there’s too much information on one page.

    One thing I’d have to say though - these guys aren’t very fond of adding hover states on a lot of their buttons/links.

    Yeh I agree with pretty much everything said before. I think the product is awesome but they have literally jammed far too much information on each page and it looks so cluttered - kinda ruins it for me!

    What about the AIDA rule ;-)? The previous version was a model design. Maybe 5 millions clients change this rule :P?

    Everything seems to be competing for attention. There appears to be no clear hierarchy here - making it difficult to decide what I should click on first.

    It feels like SEO won over good design and well delivered content.

    This one is nicely done. It actually improved their registrations quite a bit.
