deviantART reached version 6 |
This entry was guestblogged by lorz.
Some of you may have already found out, but for those who didn’t, deviantART has reached version 6.
Their layout is improved: a new front page design with quick-loading thumbnails and an effective search, the new footer with polls and news, a new site navigation (in my opinion this is their big improvement) and a new message center (but some of you may notice a delay in appearance).
Something that I don’t like: their banner rotating system! Even if you don’t browse the website, it keeps loading on the same page different ads. I find it really unnecesarry. And also, I don’t like the ads that appear while surfing their website.
Although they have a great community there, the administrators are a little bit greedy by placing full page ads while browsing the website. But all in all, they made an improvement to the website and they won’t stop here.

I always liked deviantART very much, i haven’t been there in a while but i’m quite happy to see they have improved their layout, it’s realy nice . As for the ads, aren’t they always enoying?
You might want to try http://www.myartspace.com or http://www.artwanted.com. They are not as ad crazy as DA. The downside is that they don’t have as much traffic. Artwanted has been around one year longer than DA but has never had the same exposure. Myartspace has only been around 2 year but they are already ranked 115,000 or so on Alexa. I know, I know, Alexa is not the end all be all of traffic ranking but at the rate they are going I bet they will be a top 50,000 site in just a few months. Personally, I would like to design a site that combines all of the best features from those three sites. I’ve also been reading up on http://www.redbubble.com but I’m not really impressed with their design.
I agree with you, they should improve their banner rotating system.Dislike ads!!!!
I dislike ads that apear while surfing the website!!!
