New JibberJobber Landing Page Something New, Fresh, and Simple

New JibberJobber Landing Page Something New, Fresh, and Simple Last year when I was working with Udie, my UX guy in San Francisco, I learned that on a page, every field that you have to enter something presents a choice and one of our goals is to reduce the choices. No, this isnt a political statement its simply a design technique to help clean up websites that are too confusing. When we started working together he said, Jason, one thing Im going to do is take away a lot of stuff from JibberJobber.  Ugh, I thought I dont want to be like that company that takes away features that people use and love! He wasnt talking about taking away (and retiring) features he was talking about cleaning up each page so it isnt confusing, rather its closer to a single-purpose. Dont worry, were not going to take away the power of JibberJobber but we are on a mission to clean things and make each page more intuitive. And, where we can, make the site look more updated. And thats why we have worked on updating the landing page (and static, logged-out pages) of JibberJobber.  Theres one change we made that, years ago, I would not have done but every single thing we have on this page is where it is for a reason.  I hope that these changes continue to move us closer to the target. I wont pretend that we are done, or this is it, but I think this is a really good move in the right direction. The most important thing to realize is that if you are going to login (and you already have an account), you need to click the login link at the top-right.  The form thats on the front page is to create new accounts, not to login to your existing account. Well, thats it. This update doesnt impact the functionality of JibberJobber, but I hope it has an impact on new signups! Thanks for your support, well be releasing some other new features soon!
