It looks to me like 2co hired a new designer who has convinced them that such outlook is a kind of web2.0, cutting edge design etc. And I'm sure that site design will be updated soon ;) New design is very poor and unprofessional.

The features are nice and bring a breeze of fresh air but it's not very clear who are you trying to reach with your new design. Also, a thing that was bugging me from some time is the lack of corporate identity - the big, ugly and common typeface used as a logo now could be transformed in something more meaningful than 2CO. Anyways, good luck with your new website! I couldn’t agree more with Tim!

Then I'd keep everything new you have in the community area where it is totally appropriate, even welcome. In my experience, it feels like you have two competing goals and audiences. One expects something more formal and direct and easy to get to their information. Another (existing customers) might be enticed to contribute to the community if the site design were warm and welcoming and possibly even funky (e.g. in Firefox 2.0, the community login page has huge bug-eyed login input fields). Just some thoughts. I do think some number of people you want will be turned off big time by the design as long as WorldPay and other competitors keep their button-downed look. Tim Hi,

A lot of what we are today is from the helpful suggestions we have received from vendors. Email, ticket system, forum, these are all good places you can offer suggestions. Many of us here are keeping up on your forum posts on a daily basis. So if someone chose to open a Suggestion Thread within the forum, I think that would be a great idea. A good avenue for vendors to offer suggestions, show agreement/disagreement, and to receive feedback from the 2Checkout staff. Great idea crucial, thanks 2CO is always open to suggestions from our vendors. A lot of what we are today is from the helpful suggestions we have received from vendors.

Good idea on the community 2CO! Is there anywhere we can put general suggestions to 2CO? The new website looks good, however some of the text (like the login screen) is a bit large.

Is there anywhere we can put general suggestions to 2CO?

What went wrong? I think they must rent "Spiky" as a web developer. He summed it up 100%. Are my credit card purchases still safe with this company?????? From the new look I am starting to worry. My first impression was: "Jack of all traders, MASTER of NONE". Well, 2CO might as well now start to put some affiliate links all over their site. They've got this far just go ahead. And who knows, maybe with the next change we will see some flying banner adds doing crazy stuff all over your screen. Sorry for the critical opinion but I think you have lost your image totally. You did have a very focussed, professional and trustworthy site. I am afraid I can not say the same about this new look. Looks like something from a 3rd world country, but then again, I stay in one. :) Oooh my gosh.
