I love the dark blues and the reversed logo. The navigation is simple and intuitive. I think the 2010 design is the best to date. I love the dark blues and the reversed logo.

At the time it was cutting edge. Up until the current design iteration, it remains my favorite. The new site is the biggest departure from the brand's tradition, and I think it represents a welcomed change.

While there are many benefits of having a home page that has a clear and simple conversion point on the homepage ( ie a sign up form) Ultimately the new site reflects the confidence of the company by converting people through the clear communication of service features and company values. And of course the site also looks fantastic, I might be biased since I work in the same department as the people who designed the site none the less this is a site I would be proud to have in my design portfolio.

The site provides a single cohesive message. "iContact is the company you can TRUST for your email marketing needs." Compared with the old site, we provide an easy to understand navigation and page layout. The site simplifies the paths for logging in and for signing up for an account. The site architecture also allows for us to grow and expand and revise the design as needed in a much more structured manner. Without a doubt the new site wins.

It is clear that since inception, iContact provided a valuable product produced by an innovate team... But now... your newest site seems to represent your team's greatest aspirations coming to fruition - in the form a polished and sophisticated product supported by a first class marketing site.

Visually it's a lot stronger, there's a focus on our customers, and what you can't see makes it better as well. The underlying code is much cleaner, easier to manage, and makes the website much faster than in years past. Without question the 2010 version is much better than the others.

I think it gives a wonderful facelift and adds a good amount of trust, ease-of-use, functionality and validity for customers.
