Eyesore Craigslist
Just over the past weekend I have visited Craigslist every hour. Why? Keeping a close eye on newly posted cars. Now that I have found the perfect car, I’m questioning the design of Craigslist. I know the creators were going for simple, quick design, but I think Craigslist needs some minor tweaks to keep its user’s eyes from bleeding.
I think the biggest problem is how easy it is to skip over something. If they were to add better divisions between each posting I wouldn’t have to do double triple takes to make sure I’m seeing everything.
Craigslist can keep it simple, but tweak the design and space the whole thing out. Maybe change the colors to something more modern. While I was writing this I found this great Smashing Magazine article about redesigning Craigslist. I don’t think I would go that much into changing the site, but I do agree on many of the ideas they bring up.
Would you change Craigslist?
