Greetings!

I just wanted to say that the updates look really spiffy!

I did notice one thing that should be updated: In the FAQ section for artists, there is Question & Answer 24 which actually deals with profiling, which we haven't done in a couple of years. And since we're not doing that anymore (hooray!) it could be confusing to new artists.

Thanks!
Penny

Yep, I've been trying to get rid of this Q for a while now. Let's see if I'm successful this time!

I'd like to add my praises for the site changes ~ the new muted colors on the home page, the new text (find the perfect card in our universe - 1, 2, 3), the changing category samples showing cards and recipients, the new tagline, the new pricing, the category selection for sellers.... WOW, I love it all. Thanks, GCU ~ what a wonderful way to start the new year!

I do like the purple on the site though. I wish we could have voted on the colors like we did with the tagline. That would have been nice. But, it is nice to see a change for the new year.

I have just made my first couple of cards since all the new changes to the site....I just wanted to say WOW! I love the new category tool (thanks Tom for all your valuable input there), and I heard the approval times have shortened, so that's wonderful!

Not to mention the extra cash! Double

I also really like the new colour scheme, the soft colors are all favourites of mine, that said I am not a big fan of orange on it's own either, but alongside the other colours I think it makes the overall theme stand out and look new, fresh and trendy...if the latter is the correct word? Grin

I don't know what else I'm going to discover as I've not been here much lately...but I'm going to get back in the swing now, and I'm happy to see the site is growing and changing in all the right ways.
Way to go GCU, and thanks for being the kind of company everyone wants to work for...one that is fair, listens to us, and tries to incorporate changes that make everyone happy! I've always said, happy employees are productive employees! kiss

Now off to make more cards...that's what days off are for right? Cheesy

It also seems easier to navigate. I really like it! Teri

On the category search list the light blue is just too light for my eyes. Can you possibly make it all darker text? Please? Thanks bunches, Sal
