Thoughts on new front page?

I can't see it

Too much focus on thumbnails that rarely explain the quiz, I understand people like images but thumbnails are rarely descriptive enough for a quiz, I feel thumbnails if included should be much smaller.

I don't hate it. I wouldn't say it's better or worse than the current FP, but I know people are gonna hate it regardless just cause they don't like change but they'll already forget about it in a month.

I like the new design! I think there are a few improvements that could be made but as a whole I like it. The rows of thumbnails are very visually appealing, I think a "default" thumbnail for quizzes without one (aside from the plain grey box) would be cool. Not a fan of the removal of the boxes on the side.

I wonder if you could make it so that when you click "more" for today's featured quizzes, it takes you to the traditional front page (or something similar to it). This way you can still go back and see what quizzes were on the front page over the last several days in case you missed them or want to look back.

Also, if you're going for a more Netflix-styled front page, I wonder if having arrows on the sides of the rows of icons to press for moving left/right would be more visually appealing than the current scroll bar that you have to hold and drag.

I actually really like the new design, it looks much cleaner and more modern without really getting rid of the character Jetpunk usually has. One concern is that it looks horrible on mobile but I don’t know if you’re planning for a different layout there that hasn’t been implemented yet

This test front page is way more clean IMO.

Here are my suggestions:

I really like the idea of carousels but:

-they seem too wide onscreen (I would suggest 3 or 4 thumbnails max)

-I would replace the classic horizontal scroll bar with "scroll dots" that you can manually click to go left or right (hope it's clear) -way more modern IMO

-Spotlights carousel should also have an auto setting so that the displayed quizzes changed (ofc with a delay and sufficiant time to be readible).

(this joins the idea of ​​cathlete)

+ I like the colored buttons on top

Also, by making carousels less wide, you can make an "orange-box" displaying the Popular tags. These tags should definitely worth been displayed on front screen.

These Popular tags could otherwise be displayed on a formated row, just under "Today's featured quizzes".

I don't hate it, but I think it is very simplified, maybe there will be more on later incarnations.

Buttons would probably look better than the scroll bars.

Maybe have "Today's Featured Quizzes" as the top line rather than "Popular Quizzes" would give a more up to date feel.

Other than that maybe a few more direct buttons for Games, Message Board, RUB, etc. in a similar style to the two buttons at the top.

It's bad on desktop, but on mobile, it's terrible. I hope it's just not developed yet.

Oh and let me repost this idea I already suggested:

A banner just under the Header 1 "Welcome to JetPunk", with a catchy text in the style of "Play Quizzes, Create, Boost your Knowledge" or something in the same idea.

The choice of certain power words seems essential to attract the attention of users while clearly indicating/summarizing the purpose of the site.
