The dooyoo Redesign

For those of you who are wondering how I am writing this review; it is because I visited the site regularly a long time ago when the old design was present. I didn't have enough time on my hands to join the site, but checked back on it every now and then. After finally creating an account towards the end of January 2007, I was more than pleased to be signing up as it had changed so much! It just looks so much better and I love it compared to the old design. The old design had the same colour schemes but wasn't nice-looking or as clear. Now, everything can be found in one place under the community page. You can now view your account on the side toolbar of the ...  Read the complete review

Well my amnesia's kicked in once again, I seem to have forgotten the sites actually been re-designed...then I remembered using this site at my former uni and remember I prefered certain things back then. The site's changed for both the better and the worse, the good and the bad are what we have to put up with I guess, though it's not the design I have the biggest actual problem with (I'll get onto that much later). I do like the new "My reviews" section, looks much tidier and easier to read, so thank you dooyoo for this, it was needed and is the best part of the site design I seemed to miss. Also the reviews when people are reading them looks better ...  Read the complete review

I guess over the past couple of months Dooyoo has seen a couple of design changes, one to the way the site looks especially the review writing page and now the new review list and secondly there has been a change to the reward system. Personally although I like the new reward system it is rather too early to comment on it, (although plenty of people already have, myself included in comments) and to be honest any comments are rather naive in that they are much too early for people to fully assess the impact on the site especially in the long term. The changes to the design of the site however have become quite well established (except the change this week to ...  Read the complete review

I don't think anyone would deny that Dooyoo is in better shape today that it has been for years. For "old timers" such as me, who have been members of Dooyoo, in my case for over seven years, through the good times at the beginning and then the dark years of the early and middle Noughties, the current rebirth comes like the Spring at the end of a long, dark and seemingly never-ending Winter. There are few changes that have been introduced in the last 18 months of which I could honestly disapprove although some have come as a bit of a shock at the time. As I enter my "declining years", all changes are difficult to absorb, especially when ...  Read the complete review

I didn't like the new design to start with but as with anything I have become used to it and now I don't notice it at all. When I saw the blue fonts first time it looked horrible. Probably some people feel same way now. Other things have been done to the site as well. Click on My accounts tab and you will see newest reviews and newest products in the middle of the page. One thing that hasn't changed is the search engine. It still drags out rubbish. One more change is members search box. Here you can enter members details to access this members profile and reviews. I have seen several more changes. Categories shifted ...  Read the complete review
