  Hi,
  as a new user, I will prefer the new home page. Minimal information, straight to the point, clear page, …
  But as a developper or a Atlassian application confirmed user, I will prefer the old one. All information on one page, no need to search a link, they are (almost) all on the home page …
  The new one is more “marketing”, the old one is more “dev oriented”

  Hi,
  As a person who works in a web team, I realise the time, effort and research that goes into a homepage redesign and how users often have an emotional attachment, that is not always qualifyable. On this occassion, I, strangely, find myself in this group and I don’t have the same “feel good factor” as I did before.

  Good comments, keep them coming! Internally, I’ve heard several similar themes about various components of the page; we take seriously all feedback as we work on design tweaks over the next few days and weeks.

  The great big green space advertising Confluence hosted is rather over-dominant don’t you think?
  Removing some of the clutter was a good idea but overall the page now looks dull and doesn’t convey Atlassian’s energy and enthusiasm anymore.

  Hmm……truth be told, I liked the old home page much more than this one. Reasons would be….
  -almost no information now
  -quite bland from a color perspective (you can have any color you want as long as it’s a blue or green banner
  -lost all the helpful links to stuff that I regularly used as a customer
  -lost all the nice news excerpts that I’d regularly point people to in our organization
  -aside from a bit of text feels like “big graphic plus stacks of links”
  So…I won’t say it’s awful…..but the previous one was much, much better from a usability perspective IMHO.

  Hi,
  I always have trouble finding your forums and your search engine when I come to your site.. Those are usually the main two things I’m looking forward.. I’d add those to your homepage..

  I have to agree with Andrew2 and add that the old homepage was well on its way to simple, sleek and usable. Just my $0.02.

  I agree with Andrew Ogilvie and Andrew Miller.
  The old page: a bit messy, a way too much information, links etc on a single page. But once you find your way around it’s ok.
  The new page: perhaps fine for a newcomer but not too good for someone who knew where to find things on the old page.
  Perhaps a compromise would be the best choice??
